Allegations Against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
The famous rap icon known as P Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, is facing new accusations of sexual assault and trafficking from a former adult film star.
The accuser, Adria English, claims that Combs coerced her into having sexual relations with a guest at a party in 2007, as reported by US media outlets.
English further alleges that Combs pressured her to engage in similar encounters at other gatherings he hosted in New York and Florida, threatening to ruin her career and that of her partner if she refused.
Multiple sexual assault lawsuits have been filed against Combs in the past year, with the most recent claims following a video surfacing in May showing him physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie.
The complaint filed by Ms. English, spanning 114 pages, includes over 30 accusations, implicating not only the man she was allegedly forced to engage with but also a woman who reportedly facilitated the sex trafficking.
Responding to the allegations, Combs’ legal representative stated to TMZ that despite the numerous lawsuits, there is no evidence to support the claims of sexual assault or trafficking, emphasizing their confidence in the legal process to reveal the truth.
The star’s properties were raided by Homeland Security in March
In addition to the civil suits, federal authorities have reportedly initiated a criminal investigation against Combs, with Homeland Security conducting searches at his residences in Los Angeles and Miami earlier in the year as part of the probe into the various allegations against him.
Notably, Cassie, whose full name is Cassandra Ventura, filed a lawsuit against Combs in November, alleging trafficking, rape, substance intoxication, and physical abuse over a decade.

The lawsuit alleged that Diddy compelled her to engage in sexual activity with male escorts while videotaping the encounters.
Interestingly, the case was abruptly settled the day after its filing, with the settlement amount undisclosed.
Despite denying all allegations and dismissing his accusers as motivated by financial gain, Combs expressed remorse for the violent incident involving Cassie, condemning his actions and attributing them to a period of personal struggle.
