Adria English, a former adult film actress who says she worked for Sean “Diddy” Combs between 2004 and 2009, has accused the music mogul of sex trafficking and sexual assault, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday (3).
The 114-page complaint alleges that Combs and other defendants in the lawsuit used Adria English as “a sexual pawn for the pleasure and financial benefit of others” during “White Parties” at Combs’ homes in the Hamptons, New York, and Miami, Florida. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, also alleges that Combs forced English to “engage in prostitution and sex work” between 2006 and 2009.
This is the ninth lawsuit filed against Combs since last November and the eighth directly accusing him of sexual assault. One of the other eight lawsuits, filed by ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, has been dismissed. Another lawsuit accused his son Christian Combs of sexual assault, and Sean Combs is accused of aiding and abetting.
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it will not change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sexually trafficked anyone,” Jonathan Davis, Combs’ attorney, said in a statement when asked about English’s lawsuit.
“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 uncover the truth and Mr. Combs is confident that he will prevail in court against these and other baseless claims,” the attorney added.
English’s lawsuit requests a jury trial and seeks an undisclosed amount in damages.
Combs has vehemently denied the allegations in many of the civil lawsuits, but has not responded to all of the allegations. In December 2023, after four lawsuits had been filed against him, Combs posted a fierce denial on social media, writing that “disgusting allegations” had been made by accusers “looking for a quick payday.”
He added: “Let me be absolutely clear: I did none of the horrible things that are being alleged.”
Federal investigators are also preparing to bring Combs’ accusers before a federal grand jury, they told CNN two sources familiar with the investigation — signaling that the U.S. Justice Department is moving toward a possible indictment of Combs.
Bringing individuals who have filed civil lawsuits against Combs before a grand jury would mark a significant escalation in the government’s ongoing investigation involving the producer and founder of Bad Boy Records.
