A former porn star is suing Diddy over claims he trafficked her to have sex with party guests and threatened to blackmail her if she did not comply.
Adria English, whose stage name was Omunique, claimed she first met the musician in 2004 when her boyfriend was auditioning for a Sean John modeling gig.
She alleges she worked parties hosted by Diddy in which she would drink alcohol laced with narcotics like ecstasy and would be asked to flirt with guests.
English said the disgraced rapper, 54, ‘groomed’ her into sex trafficking and told her to have sex with Jacob Arabov, also known as ‘Jacob the Jeweler’.
The lawsuit, filed in New York on Wednesday, claims she had ‘forced sexual intercourse’ with him and was paid an extra $1,000 compared to the usual fee for working the parties.
Jacob, 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. English is seeking unspecified damages.

English took a photo with Jacob following the alleged assault before Diddy congratulated her on having sex with him, according to the lawsuit.
‘Plaintiff was coerced by Defendant Combs into consuming copious amounts of, allegedly laced, alcohol prior to being coerced and forced into having sexual intercourse with Defendant Jacob,’ the court document states.
She claimed she was later ‘passed off’ to other guests at Diddy’s parties who sexually assaulted her.
The former porn star named Thomas in the lawsuit and compared her to Ghislaine Maxwell and Diddy to Jeffrey Epstein.
‘Defendants Thomas and Combs passed off Plaintiff to other Defendants, outside of Defendant Jacob named as Defendant Does, to be sexually assaulted as part of their ongoing corrupt sex trafficking organization,’ the lawsuit states.
‘Without Defendant Thomas, a woman using her inherent good will as a woman to gain the trust of another woman, coordinating and acting as an avatar for Defendant Combs, Defendant Combs would be unable to execute his corrupt sex trafficking organization.’
She claims the rapper promised to help advance her career and helped her join a girl group as a way into the music industry.
But English said he made forceful demands and threatened to blacklist her and her boyfriend from the entire industry if they did not do what he said.
She has suffered emotional trauma, intimacy issues and painful memories as a result of the alleged sex trafficking, according to the lawsuit.
English said the first Diddy party she attended in 2004 had no requirements for physical sexual contact and ‘seemed to be a legitimate employment opportunity’.
But on later visits to his Hampton Estates, she claims she and ‘other sex trafficked individuals’ were taken into a room and provided clothes to wear for the parties.
English claims she was told to provide lap dances and be sexually flirtatious with the guests.
‘Despite being forced to drink copious amounts of alcohol and consume illicit narcotics, the encounters Plaintiff was forced to endure were so excruciating that Plaintiff remembers them as they still haunt her to this day,’ the lawsuit states.
‘Plaintiff performed to the expectations of Defendant Combs, was personally thanked for her obedience by Defendant Combs and was subsequently invited for future employment at the “White Parties”.’
