Sean “Diddy” Combs, the 54-year-old hip-hop mogul, is facing serious accusations stemming from an explosive lawsuit filed by adult entertainer Adria Sheri English in July, months before he was formally charged with federal counts of racketeering and sex trafficking.

English, who worked at Diddy’s infamous parties in the early 2000s, has come forward with harrowing claims about the alleged sexual exploitation and abuse she endured while employed by Combs.

The lawsuit, which English filed in July 2023, accuses Combs of pressuring her into unwanted sexual acts with party guests and drugging her to lower her inhibitions.

English, who once performed under the stage name “Omunique,” said she began working as a go-go dancer at Diddy’s notorious Hamptons parties in 2004 and 2005.

However, according to her attorney, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, the atmosphere at these events quickly shifted from dancing to sexual demands.

According to English’s complaint, the shift occurred around the third party she worked.

She was allegedly directed by Combs to have sex with one of the guests, marking the first time she was required to perform such acts at one of his parties. “The things that were forced on me to do… haunt me to this day,” English told The New York Post.

English claims that these sexual acts became a recurring element at Diddy’s private gatherings, which were notorious for their debauchery.

According to sources familiar with the events, by the early morning hours, the parties would thin out, leaving behind a group of individuals involved in what Mitchell-Kidd described as “debaucherous activities.”

At these times, English and other women were allegedly directed to engage in sexual acts with partygoers, with security guards stationed at bedroom entrances.

English also alleges that the drinks served at these parties were often laced with drugs, particularly aimed at the female workers.

In one instance, she claims she was so heavily drugged that she didn’t even remember how she got home, only realizing she had been paid when she found money tucked into her garter belt. “They began to supply her with alcohol, which she later discovered to be laced with drugs because of its effect on her,” Mitchell-Kidd explained.

Despite her discomfort, English says she felt trapped, fearing the influence and power that Combs wielded in the music and entertainment industries.

According to an unnamed hip-hop insider, it was common for people around Diddy to “just oblige” out of fear of being blackballed from the industry. “He had [English] under his thumb,” the source told The Post. “There was a fear of being blackballed and having your career ruined if you did not play along with him.”

English continued to work at Diddy’s parties for several years, including events in Miami. However, at a 2008 New Year’s Eve party in Miami, she reached a breaking point.

After being directed to sleep with party guests once again, English became belligerent, according to her lawsuit, confronting Diddy and expressing her frustration over being forced into sex work without adequate compensation. “You’re forcing me to do all this sex work. I don’t know that I really want to do this. You’re not really compensating me, and I don’t want to do it anymore,” English reportedly told him.

Her defiance allegedly led to immediate retaliation. Mitchell-Kidd said Diddy gave her a look of disdain, and shortly after, his security removed her from the party.

Instead of allowing her to stay at the luxurious Star Island home where the party was held, she was sent to a hotel as a form of punishment.

Following this event, English decided to stop working for Combs in 2009 and fled to California. Combs, who had previously offered to help her break into the music industry, allegedly followed through on his threat to “blackball” her after she left.

English is now seeking damages in her civil lawsuit, claiming she suffered severe emotional distress from her experiences.

The lawsuit also sheds light on similar experiences from other women who attended Combs’ parties.

One unnamed source claimed that at a New Year’s Eve party in Miami, attendees were visibly intoxicated, not just from alcohol but potentially from drugs spiked in their drinks.

According to Mitchell-Kidd, one of her clients who arrived after the party had ended described seeing everyone “f—ed up,” adding that it was clear more than alcohol was involved.

English’s lawsuit follows a growing number of allegations against Combs. Former dancer Rachel Kennedy has also come forward, recounting her harrowing experience of performing a sex show for Diddy in Japan.

She described being roughly treated by his security when he decided he’d had enough, and feared for her safety during the encounter.

Music insider Tom Swoope also shared his observations of Diddy’s infamous White Parties, which he described as having various “tiers” of access, culminating in an “inner sanctum” where the most debauched activities took place.

At one event, Swoope claims Diddy asked a young artist to perform a sex act on a bodyguard in exchange for $100,000 and a record deal, only to later claim it was a joke. “I can make anybody do anything because this life is what they want, and I got the keys to the castle,” Diddy reportedly boasted to Swoope.

Combs, who now faces federal charges of sex trafficking, has maintained his innocence.

His lawyer, Jonathan Davis, issued a statement to Fox News denying the allegations: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.”

Davis added, “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.”

As the lawsuit and federal charges move forward, Diddy could face up to 10 years behind bars if convicted.

English, for her part, has vowed to testify in New York’s federal court, stating, “I anticipate testifying to help ensure Diddy is imprisoned for life.”

The lawsuit, along with the mounting accusations from other women, paints a disturbing picture of the alleged activities at Combs’ parties.

As the legal proceedings continue, the entertainment industry watches closely as one of its biggest names faces a potential reckoning.
