Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly forced a former porn star to perform sex acts with guests at his famous parties in the Hamptons, according to the latest lawsuit filed against the disgraced music mogul.
Former adult film star Adria English claims in a lawsuit that she was “framed” as a sex trafficking victim while working as a go-go dancer at the rapper’s annual white parties nearly 20 years ago.
According to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, she finally escaped Combs’ clutches in 2009, but claims he ruined her showbiz career.
English, whose adult film industry stage name was Omnik, first met Diddy in 2004 while auditioning for the fashion company Sean John with her then-boyfriend, model Anthony Gallo.
According to the lawsuit, a Sean John employee told Gallo that if he could convince English to perform at Diddy’s Hamptons party, he would be guaranteed the job.
According to the lawsuit, English was not forced to have sex with attendees at the first party, but that changed over the next few years.
At one party, she was asked to wear a black dress, which she believed was a way to let others know she was a “trafficked sex worker,” the lawsuit states.
One of the customers she was forced to sleep with was jeweler Jacob Arabov, also known as Jacob the Jeweler, according to the lawsuit.
“At the end of the evening, Defendant Combs personally congratulated Plaintiff on a job well done for following his instructions to Defendant Jacob,” the lawsuit states.
According to the lawsuit, English complied with Diddy’s demands because he feared for his own safety and future job prospects, as well as Gallo’s employment with Sean John.
According to the lawsuit, she also claims she attended parties hosted by Combs in Miami where she was sexually assaulted by other guests at the direction of Combs as part of an “ongoing, corrupt sex trafficking ring.”
Combs offered to help English get into the music industry, but when she stopped working for him and fled to California in 2009, Combs “blacklisted” her and Gallo, her lawyers say.
According to the lawsuit, she is seeking unspecified damages for severe emotional distress.
The lawsuit also names other people and companies with ties to Combs.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” singer has faced a flood of lawsuits from multiple women alleging sex trafficking and abuse since R&B singer Cassie accused him of rape and physical abuse in November last year.
The two quickly reconciled, but earlier this year a video was released showing Combs assaulting her in a hotel hallway.
Combs strongly denies all the allegations in the lawsuit.
In response to English’s lawsuit, Combs’ lawyer, Jonathan Davis, told Fox News in a statement that “no matter how many lawsuits are filed, it does not change the fact that Mr. Combs has never committed sexual assault or human trafficking.”
“We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any evidence. Fortunately, there is a fair and impartial judicial process to find the truth, and I am confident that Mr. Combs will prevail in court against these and other frivolous lawsuits,” Davis said.
Attempts to reach Arabov, who is listed as a defendant in English’s lawsuit, were unsuccessful.
