Sean “P.Diddy” Combs, the renowned music mogul, has been accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault by Adria English, a former adult film actress. English claims to have worked for Combs between 2004 and 2009. The detailed 114-page lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.
English alleges that Combs and other defendants exploited her as “a sexual pawn for the pleasure and financial benefit of others.” The complaint points to notorious “White Parties” hosted at Combs’ homes in the Hamptons, New York, and Miami, Florida, as venues where these abuses occurred. It is further alleged that between 2006 and 2009, Combs coerced English into prostitution and sex work.
This lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Combs. Since November of last year, this marks the ninth lawsuit against him, with eight directly involving accusations of sexual assault. Notably, a lawsuit filed by Combs’ former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, was settled. Another case accuses his son, Christian Combs, of sexual assault, with Sean Combs allegedly aiding and abetting.
Jonathan Davis, Combs’ attorney, responded to the allegations stating, “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 emphasized the importance of the judicial process in uncovering the truth, expressing confidence that Combs will prevail against these claims.
In December 2023, Combs addressed the multiple lawsuits on social media, vehemently denying the accusations. He described them as “sickening allegations” by individuals seeking a financial settlement, asserting, “I did not do any of the awful things being alleged.”
The stakes may soon be raised as federal investigators are preparing to present accusers of Combs before a grand jury. This move, as reported by sources familiar with the investigation, suggests that the US Justice Department is contemplating an indictment. Bringing civil lawsuit accusers before a grand jury could significantly escalate the government’s ongoing probe into the Bad Boy Records founder’s activities.
This case adds to the growing number of high-profile legal battles in the entertainment industry, shedding light on allegations of sexual misconduct and exploitation. It underscores the evolving landscape where accusations against powerful figures are increasingly brought to public and legal scrutiny.
As this story unfolds, the implications for Combs and his legacy in the music industry remain uncertain. The legal processes will continue to garner widespread attention, potentially setting precedents for similar cases in the future.
