Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly forced a former porn star to have sex with guests at his famed Hamptons parties, according to the latest lawsuit filed against the tarnished music mogul.
The ex-adult film star, Adria English, accused the rapper in the lawsuit of “grooming” her into a sex trafficking victim while she worked as a “go-go dancer” at his annual white party nearly two decades ago.
And when she finally fled from Combs’ grip in 2009, she says he ruined her career in the entertainment industry, according to the suit filed in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday.
English, whose stage name in the adult film industry was Omunique, first met Diddy in 2004 while she was with her then-boyfriend, model Anthony Gallo, who had an audition for fashion company Sean John.
The lawsuit alleges Gallo was guaranteed the gig by a Sean John employee if he convinced English to work at Diddy’s upcoming Hamptons party, the lawsuit states.
During the first party, English wasn’t forced to have sex with attendees, but that changed in subsequent years, according to the lawsuit.
During one party, she was told to wear a black dress that she believes was a signal to others that she was a “sex trafficked sex worker,” the lawsuit states.
One guest she was forced to sleep with was jeweler Jacob Arabov, also known as Jacob the Jeweler, the lawsuit alleges.
“At the end of the night, Defendant Combs, personally congratulated Plaintiff for following his directives with Defendant Jacob and a job well done,” the lawsuit states.
English complied with Diddy’s demands because she feared for her safety and future job prospects, and Gallo’s employment with Sean John, the lawsuit states.
She also attended parties he held in Miami where she claims she was sexually assaulted by other guests at the direction of Combs as an “ongoing corrupt sex trafficking organization,” per the lawsuit.
While Combs offered to help English break into the music industry, he later “blackballed” her and Gallo when she stopped working for him in 2009 and fled to California, her legal team says.
She is seeking unspecified damages after suffering severe emotional distress, per the lawsuit.
The lawsuit names other associates and companies connected to Combs.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” singer has faced an avalanche lawsuits brought by several woman alleging sex trafficking and abuse since last November when R&B singer Cassie sued him for allegedly raping and physically abusing her.
The two sides quickly settled, though a video emerged earlier this year that shows Combs attacking her in a hotel hallway.
Combs has strongly denied the allegations in all of the suits.
In light of English’s lawsuit, Combs’ lawyer Jonathan Davis told Fox News in a statement that, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.
“We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any proof. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court,” said Davis.
Attempts to reach Arabov, who is listed as a defendant in English’s lawsuit, were unsuccessful.
