Adria English/P. Diddy Lawsuit Details

Adria English Accused Diddy Of Trafficking In Lawsuit. “Adria English, who says her porn stage name was Omunique, says she first met Diddy around 2004, when her BF was auditioning for a Sean John modeling gig. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Adria claims things got freaky with Diddy right out of the gate. Adria claims her boyfriend and another model were asked to perform oral sex on Diddy in order to get the job. She says her BF refused, but he got a second chance when another Diddy associate offered him the job … as long as he got Adria to work as a “go-go dancer” at Diddy’s upcoming white party in the Hamptons.” [TMZ]

English Claims She Was Trafficked At Combs Party. “During one party, she was told to wear a black dress that she believes was a signal to others that she was a “sex trafficked sex worker,” the lawsuit states. One guest she was forced to sleep with was jeweler Jacob Arabov, also known as Jacob the Jeweler, the lawsuit alleges. “At the end of the night, Defendant Combs, personally congratulated Plaintiff for following his directives with Defendant Jacob and a job well done,” the lawsuit states.” [NY Post]

Jacob Arabov, Tamiko Thomas Also Accused In Lawsuit. “Jacob and a woman called Tamiko Thomas – who is accused of facilitating the sex trafficking operation and Diddy’s entertainment company Bad Boy – have been listed as defendants in the lawsuit. She is suing the Bad Boy mogul and his alleged co-conspirators for $50 billion, according to the federal lawsuit obtained by DailyMail.com.” [Daily Mail]

Diddy Denies 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. 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.” [Statement From Attorney]

Diddy’s Home Raided By Feds In March 2024. “In March, homes belonging to Combs in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by officials from US Homeland Security in connection to a federal sex trafficking investigation. The rapper has not been formally charged or accused by federal prosecutors of any crime. The sudden raids came as the music mogul – who is credited with helping launch the careers of artists including Biggie Smalls, Mary J Blige and Usher – faced a string of varying accusations, including sexual assault.” [Independent]

Vibe Magazine Mentioned In Lawsuit. “According to the lawsuit, when the plaintiff attended the first party, she was given clothing she was told to wear as a uniform. A photo of her wearing the outfit was published in the Nov. 2006 issue of VIBE Magazine. But the plaintiff said she had no knowledge that the photo was taken nor did she give permission for it to be published.” [Court TV]

Lawsuit Fallout

English Made Demands Before Agreeing To Interviews. “Adria’s team’s high expectations before agreeing to an interview include … 2 first-class flights from L.A. to NYC for herself and her husband, and also 2 separate flights for her attorneys. TBH, the flights aren’t all that crazy, but there’s so much more. Adria will also require a 2-night stay in a 4-star hotel … preferably with breakfast included. Before the interview begins, she wants hair, makeup, and wardrobe services — from specific vendors — plus meals and snacks throughout the day of shooting.” [TMZ]
