Sean “Diddy” Combs finds himself embroiled in yet another legal battle, facing a lawsuit for alleged sex trafficking, sexual assault, and other serious accusations, according to reports by TMZ and the L.A. Times. Adria English, a former adult-film star, has accused Diddy of hiring her as a “go-go dancer” for a party in 2004 and later coercing her into sex acts at subsequent events. English claims her drinks were spiked with narcotics, leading her to engage in sexual activities with guests, including celebrity jeweler Jacob “the Jeweler” Arabo, who is also named in the lawsuit along with several of Diddy’s enterprises, two media companies, a woman allegedly involved in the trafficking, and two unnamed individuals. Diddy has vehemently denied these allegations.
Adria English Allegations
English’s lawsuit alleges that Diddy “groomed” her into sex trafficking through his infamous white parties, leveraging her background in adult entertainment. She asserts that refusing his demands was not an option, as Diddy threatened to blacklist her and her boyfriend from the modeling industry if she did not comply. The lawsuit also implicates the music magazine Vibe, accusing it of providing resources for the parties, causing emotional distress related to the alleged trafficking, and using her likeness in an article about the events.
Diddy Denies Sex Assault Claims
Jonathan Davis, Diddy’s attorney, responded to the allegations, telling TMZ and the L.A. Times, “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.”

Although that case was swiftly settled, several other lawsuits remain active, alongside a federal sex trafficking investigation by Homeland Security Investigations. Diddy continues to deny all charges against him.
