Adria English, one of the 12 accusers who have filed lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs since November 2023, has come forward with a detailed account of what she claims to have experienced as a go-go dancer at the music mogul’s star-studded parties. In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, English expanded on her allegations, claiming that during her time working for Diddy, she was sexually exploited and coerced into having intimate encounters with his celebrity guests.
English’s lawsuit, originally filed in July 2024, accuses Diddy of sex trafficking and using her as a means to entertain high-profile guests at his private events. In her interview with Daily Mail on October 4, 2024, the former adult film star provided additional insight into the behind-the-scenes activities at these lavish gatherings.
According to English, while most of the partygoers were unaware of what was happening behind closed doors, sexual encounters would take place in secluded areas of Diddy’s homes. She admitted to engaging in sexual acts with some of the celebrity guests, though she declined to name any individuals, citing her ongoing legal battle. English also shared a disturbing incident involving her ex-boyfriend, alleging that Diddy attempted to perform a sexual act on him during a casting call for the Sean John clothing line.
“Ten minutes, maybe less, go by and all of a sudden, the door swings open, and my ex is yelling: ‘Fk that, fk that,’” English recalled. She explained that her ex-boyfriend stormed out of the room, angrily claiming that Diddy had tried to perform oral sex on him.
English claims her involvement with Diddy began in 2004 when she started working as a go-go dancer at his parties. However, she alleges that what began as a performance role quickly shifted to sexual exploitation, with Diddy allegedly pimping her out to his guests. She claims Diddy received payment for these encounters, though she says she was unaware of the sexual nature of her duties when she first started.
English worked for Diddy until 2009, citing broken promises and exploitation as reasons for leaving. In August 2024, shortly after filing her lawsuit, she submitted a police report with the Miami Police Department in an effort to back up her claims. However, police declined to pursue the investigation, citing a lack of evidence.
This week, English’s legal troubles deepened when her attorney, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, dropped her as a client. Mitchell-Kidd cited “irreconcilable differences” and English’s “self-destructive behavior” as the reasons for withdrawing from the case. The decision marks the second time English has been dropped by her legal representation since filing her lawsuit.
In response to Adria English’s latest claims, a representative for Diddy released a statement refuting her accusations and questioning her credibility. The statement read, “Less than three months after filing her lawsuit against Sean Combs, Adria English has been dropped by both of her attorneys after making completely fabricated statements. In papers filed with the court this week, her former attorneys cited Ms. English’s ‘questionable antics’ and ‘undermining behavior.’ As we’ve said from the start, anyone can file a lawsuit without proof—and this case is a clear example of that.”
Diddy’s team has consistently denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that the accusations are false and part of an ongoing effort to tarnish his reputation. The statement continued, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.”
The accusations brought forward by Adria English are just one piece of a much larger legal storm Diddy currently faces. On October 1, 2024, Texas attorney Tony Buzbee announced that he is representing 120 individuals who are preparing to file lawsuits against Diddy and his associates for sexual assault. As more accusers come forward, the legal pressure continues to mount for the Bad Boy Entertainment founder.
While Diddy’s legal team continues to fight these claims, the media mogul faces an uncertain future, with multiple lawsuits alleging serious criminal behavior.
