Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing yet another legal battle, with a fresh lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking. The latest allegation comes from Adria English, who claims that Diddy “groomed” her into the sex trafficking industry after they met in 2004.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, the situation began when English’s then-boyfriend auditioned for a modeling job with Diddy’s fashion label, Sean John. During the audition, Diddy allegedly asked the man and another model to perform oral sex on him in exchange for the job, a request which was refused.
English recounts that Diddy later offered her boyfriend another chance at the modeling job if she would agree to work as a “go-go dancer” at one of Diddy’s famed white parties in the Hamptons. She accepted the offer and attended the party, where she was photographed, as confirmed by TMZ. Subsequently, Diddy allegedly invited her to more events, encouraging her to flirt with guests and consume alcoholic drinks laced with unknown substances.

What began as seemingly innocuous party invitations reportedly escalated into more severe demands. English claims that Diddy later insisted she engage in “forced sexual intercourse” with jeweler Jacob Arabov. She further alleges that she was sexually assaulted by several other unnamed individuals during her time associated with the Bad Boy Records mogul. In addition to Diddy, English is also suing Tamiko Thomas, whom she likened to Jeffrey Epstein’s wife, Ghislaine Maxwell, alleging that Thomas orchestrated the sex trafficking operation.
The lawsuit does not specify the amount of damages English is seeking but mentions several claims including emotional trauma, intimacy issues, and painful memories. This case adds to a growing list of legal troubles for Diddy, who has faced numerous lawsuits over the past year. The legal turmoil began in November 2023 when singer Cassie filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual abuse. Although that case was swiftly settled, it opened the floodgates for other alleged victims to come forward with similar accusations.
Despite the increasing number of allegations, Diddy has consistently denied all claims against him. In a recent development, reports emerged on Wednesday that Diddy is attempting to sell his Los Angeles home for $70 million, potentially to manage his mounting legal costs. As the legal proceedings continue to unfold, further updates on Diddy’s situation can be expected on platforms like HotNewHipHop.
This latest lawsuit underscores the ongoing and serious nature of the allegations against Diddy, reflecting a broader conversation about accountability and justice within the entertainment industry.
