Diddy Hit With Sex Trafficking Lawsuit Over Alleged Abuse at Hamptons White Parties
In a new lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, former adult film star Adria English alleges sex trafficking and coercion at his renowned White Parties in the Hamptons. The lawsuit details events beginning around 2004 when English met Combs during her boyfriend's modeling audition for Sean John.
English claims she was initially hired as a go-go dancer for Combs' White Party over Labor Day weekend in 2004. The lawsuit includes photographic evidence confirming her presence at these events. She alleges that during these parties, dancers were given alcohol laced with narcotics like ecstasy and encouraged to interact with guests.
According to the filing, English was later coerced into sex trafficking, being forced to have sexual intercourse with Jacob Arabov (Jacob the Jeweler) and other party guests. She claims she received additional payment beyond her regular dancing fee after these encounters.
Key allegations in the lawsuit:
- Tamiko Thomas is named as a facilitator of the alleged trafficking operation
- English was made to wear black instead of white at the parties, allegedly marking her as a sex worker
- Combs allegedly used career advancement promises and industry blackball threats for compliance
- The lawsuit names multiple defendants including Bad Boy Entertainment, Sean John Clothing, Combs Global Enterprises, Vibe Magazine, and Penske Media

Combs' attorney Jonathan Davis denies all allegations, stating that "Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone" and expressing confidence in prevailing against these claims in court.
The lawsuit joins several other recent legal actions against Combs, marking another serious challenge to the music mogul's reputation and business empire.
