Diddy's attorney, Jonathan Davis, told TMZ, "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.”
In a new lawsuit, Adria English, a former porn star known as Omunique, alleges that Diddy hired her to have sex with people at his famous parties and threatened to blacklist her and her model boyfriend if she didn't comply.
Adria claims she first met Diddy in 2004 when her boyfriend was auditioning for a Sean John modeling job. According to the documents obtained by the media, she alleges that things quickly took a disturbing turn.
She claims her boyfriend and another model were asked to perform oral sex on Diddy to secure the job. Her boyfriend refused but was later offered another chance if he could get Adria to work as a "go-go dancer" at Diddy's upcoming white party in the Hamptons.

Adria and her boyfriend agreed, and she worked at the party over Labor Day weekend in 2004. She included photos from the event in the lawsuit and claims she continued to work at other Diddy parties, where she was regularly given alcohol laced with narcotics like ecstasy and encouraged to flirt with guests. Initially, she did not have sex with guests, but she claims Diddy "groomed" her into sex trafficking over time.
The lawsuit alleges that things escalated when Diddy demanded she have sex with Jacob Arabov, known in hip-hop circles as "Jacob the Jeweler." Adria claims she was forced to have sexual intercourse with him and was paid an additional $1,000 on top of her usual payment for working at Diddy's parties.
She took a photo with Jacob after the alleged assault, while still at the party, and claims Diddy personally congratulated her for following his instructions.
Adria alleges that things worsened as she was "passed off" to other people at Diddy's parties, where she was also sexually assaulted. She is suing a woman named Tamiko Thomas, accusing her of facilitating Diddy's sex trafficking operation, likening Tamiko to Ghislaine Maxwell and Diddy to Jeffrey Epstein.
Adria also claims Diddy promised to advance her career, including helping her join a girl group to break into the music business, but used threats and forceful demands to ensure compliance. She eventually escaped and returned to California in 2009, believing that Diddy blackballed her and her boyfriend as punishment.
Adria says she has suffered emotional trauma, including intimacy issues and painful memories, due to the alleged sex trafficking. She is suing Diddy, Bad Boy, Tamiko Thomas, Jacob the Jeweler, and others for unspecified damages.
Representatives for Diddy and Jacob the Jeweler have not yet responded to requests for comment.
