A former go-go dancer, Adria Sheri English, 46, has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of forcing her into sex trafficking at his exclusive parties. English claims she was hired to perform at Combs’ star-studded bashes in 2004 but soon discovered she was being used for sex trafficking.
English alleged that Combs would send her to private rooms with A-list guests, secretly filming the encounters to blackmail them later. She described Combs as a “pimp” who trafficked women to high-profile guests.
Among the celebrity guests English claims to have seen at Combs’ parties are Donald Trump, Diana Ross, Reverend Al Sharpton, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, and Paris Hilton.
“I saw Busta Rhymes there. I saw Ja Rule there. I saw Diana Ross there with her son, Evan, who was underage,” English told Daily Mail News . “I saw Paris Hilton and Reverend Al Sharpton. I still wonder why Reverend Al Sharpton was there.”
English initially performed at Combs’ parties for $500 per event, believing it would lead to a flourishing entertainment career. However, she soon realized Combs had no intention of fulfilling his promises.
Combs allegedly promised English a flourishing career in entertainment, saying she “would never have to worry about go-go dancing or stripping again.” He also promised to launch her then-boyfriend’s modeling career.
English claims Combs tried to perform sex acts on male models during a casting call for his clothing line. Her boyfriend corroborated this allegation, stating Combs propositioned him sexually during an audition.
English has filed civil and criminal complaints against Combs, accusing him of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs was arrested and indicted on these charges.
In her legal filing, English claimed Combs orchestrated a “calculated grooming scheme” involving false promises, unauthorized drugging, threats, and sex trafficking.
“The alleged scheme…also involved false promises of exposure to high-level celebrity individuals, including former President Donald Trump, Reverend Al Sharpton, Paris Hilton, Jay-Z, Russell Simmons, Irv Gotti, Steve Stout, Andre Harrell, and Lyor Cohen,” the suit states.
English recounted her experiences, saying, “I agreed to do it because, heck yeah, I’m at an exclusive thing where Jay-Z was there, and Beyoncé – Diddy, all the big names… I didn’t know it was going to turn into anything sexual.”
