Update: Diddy Denies Grooming Allegation In Lawsuit From Former Porn Star, Says He’s ‘Never Sexually Assaulted Or Sex Trafficked Anyone’
Update: (July 4, 2024): Diddy is, once again, maintaining his innocence.
The record executive’s lawyer shared a statement with TMZ denying the sex trafficking claim mentioned in the most recent lawsuit he was hit with.
Attorney Jonathan Davis said,
“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.”
The woman, former porn star Adria English, said Diddy “groomed” her into sex trafficking over time. In the suit, she also alleged famed hip hop jeweler Jacob Arabov, aka Jacob the Jeweler, was one of the people Diddy demanded she have “forced sexual intercourse” with.

Original Story: (July 3, 2024): Another lawsuit has found its way to Diddy.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the record executive has been sued once again for sex trafficking allegations. The recent suit was brought forth by a former porn star named Adria English, stage name Omunique. English claims she met Diddy sometime in 2004 when her boyfriend auditioned for a Sean John modeling gig. Allegedly, the unnamed boyfriend and another model were asked to perform oral sex on Diddy to get the job. However, after declining, the bf was offered the job with the stipulation he’d get English to work as a “go-go dancer” at Diddy’s Hamptons white party.
From there, things apparently got even crazier, with English claiming Diddy “groomed” her into sex trafficking over time. She says she went on to work several parties for the “Bad Boy For Life” artist where she was encouraged to flirt with guests and had to drink alcohol laced with narcotics. In an Instagram post shared in late March about the parties, English wrote,
“I was living in Batery Park City [SIC] and working for #Diddy on the side. I was hired on his event staff as a go-go dancer…We went state to state with it! Didn’t know I was being trafficked.”
The caption added,
Tag yourself or dm me if you can connect more dots with me! then drinks was strong!!!!
In the suit, she recalls her former boss demanding she have sex with famous hip hop jeweler Jacob Arabov, aka Jacob the Jeweler. Following the “forced sexual intercourse” she was allegedly paid an additional $1,000 on top of what she usually earned for working at Diddy’s events. Jacob Arabov is also named as a defendant in the suit.
Another defendant is a woman named Tamiko Thomas, who, according to English, facilitated Diddy’s sex trafficking operation. English claims she was “passed off” to several people on behalf of Diddy. She says he promised to help advance her career while also threatening to have her and her boyfriend blackballed if they didn’t follow his demands.
She eventually escaped in 2009 but says she was blackballed as punishment. Per the suit, she suffered emotional trauma and is seeking unspecified damages.
