Before Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faced federal charges for racketeering and s*x trafficking, go-go dancer Adria Sheri English had filed a lawsuit against him. While speaking to the New York Post, she alleged in her lawsuit that Diddy pressured her into having unwanted s*x with his party guests, adding that the experiences she was forced to endure continue to haunt her to the day.
“I anticipate testifying in New York’s Federal Court to help ensure Diddy is imprisoned for life,” Adria Sheri English said.
Her attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd said English started go-go dancing at the Hamptons parties that the rapper organised. However, during the third party, Combs allegedly directed her to engage in se***l acts with one of the guests, marking the first time she was required to do so at a party.
New York Post’s report mentioned that the sexual aspect would resemble a party-within-a-party. The main parties would typically dwindle by 2 AM, leaving only those inclined toward the more indulgent activities. Mitchell-Kidd noted that as the night progressed, those who remained were more focused on debauchery.
The attorney noted that English and others were involved in se***l acts, along with potentially more visible drug use. According to her, that was when the go-go dancer would be directed to engage in such activities with various individuals.
Security guards were present near the bedrooms, and as outlined in the complaint, English claimed she was subjected to forcible physical intercourse with a guest. Mitchell-Kidd recalled her saying she did not know what to do and felt somewhat alone in the situation.
The refreshments that were served at Diddy’s parties were allegedly spiked with drugs
The attorney further explained that English was given alcohol during these parties, which she later realized was laced with drugs. The complaint allegedly claimed that certain bottles of liquor were spiked with illegal narcotics and that female employees at the party were encouraged to drink from those bottles.
English insisted that this situation felt entirely different for her. According to Mitchell-Kidd, she did not even remember how she got home or if she had been paid. The only indication she had that she received payment was the money in her garter belt. At a Miami party in 2008, the physical demands became overwhelming for English.
In her lawsuit, she alleged that Combs used his power and influence to threaten and intimidate her into continuing her participation in his corrupt s*x and drug trafficking organization.
Following an incident in which she alleged that she was instructed to sleep with party guests, English asserted that she became confrontational with Diddy, resulting in his security escorting her out of the party.
According to her legal team, Diddy had previously offered to assist English in entering the music industry, but followed through on his threat to blacklist her after she ceased working for him in 2009 and moved to California.
Mitchell-Kidd further mentioned a client who attended Diddy’s New Year’s Eve party in Miami. She arrived as the event was wrapping up and noted that everyone appeared to be extremely intoxicated. The client mentioned uncertainty about how much drinking had taken place.
