An adult entertainer has claimed that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs forced her into depraved sex acts at his unruly annual White Parties that continue to haunt her to this day.
Adria Sheri English had filed a lawsuit against the 54-year-old hip hop magnate back in July – months before Combs was charged with federal counts of racketeering and sex trafficking.
She has now vowed to the New York Post to testify at his criminal trial, to ensure Combs is jailed for life as she comes forward about what she had to endure.
‘The things that we were forced to do… haunt me to this day,’ said English, who claims in both her lawsuit and a criminal complaint that the rapper pressured her to have unwanted sex with party guests and drugged her so she would be more compliant.
‘I anticipate testifying in New York’s Federal Court to help ensure Diddy’s imprisoned for life,’ she added.

English – who had previous experience working for Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club, sometimes under the stage name Omunique – has claimed that she began working as a go-go dancer at Diddy’s infamous Hampton parties in 2004 and 2005.
But around the third party, English said things started to change.
‘She goes back to work at the party, seemingly as a go-go dancer,’ said her attorney, Mitchell-Kidd. ‘Then Mr. Combs directs her to have sex [with one of the guests].
‘That was the first time she was required to perform acts at a party.’
Those sex acts would become part of an inner party, sources familiar with Combs’ affairs said.
By 2am, Mitchell-Kidd said, ‘the parties would essentially thin out. And then everybody who was still there was kind of with the s***, if you will.
‘As it got later and later, the people who remained were about the debaucherous activities,’ he claimed.

The lawyer went on to say that English and other women were then ordered to engage in sex acts and there was ‘possibly more drug use’ as the parties continued.
‘It was more prevalent and nobody’s trying to hide it,’ Mitchell-Kidd said. ‘That’s when [Adria] would be directed to have sex with this person, sex with that person.’
He added that security guards were posted at the bedrooms, and in her complaint, English alleges that specific bottles of liquor were spiked with narcotics – which the female workers at the party were encouraged to drink from.
‘In this instance, she didn’t even remember getting home,’ Mitchell-Kidd said. ‘She didn’t even know if she had gotten paid. The only reason she knew was because the money was in her garter belt.’
When asked why English agreed at first, the lawyer recalled her saying, ‘I didn’t know what to do. I was kind of there by myself.’
Mitchell-Kidd claimed: ‘She knew how powerful Mr. Combs was. So essentially, she just obliged.’
An unidentified hip hop insider also claimed that ‘just obliging’ was what people did around the embattled rapper.
‘He had [English] under his thumb,’ the insider told the Post. ‘That was the thing. There was a fear of being blackballed and having your career ruined if you did not play with him.
‘That was the way he operated to get what he wanted.’

She also claimed the parties became more raucous as they extended into the early morning hours, with rampant drug use and sex parties
English also claims in her lawsuit that Combs ‘used his power and influence to threaten and intimidate Plaintiff to continue participating in Defendant Combs’ corrupt sex and drug trafficking organization.’
But at a party in Miami in 2008, the sexual demands became too much for the go-go dancer.
She claims that after she was once again ordered to sleep with party guests she became ‘belligerent’ with Diddy and his security removed her from the party.
‘She got an attitude [saying], “You’re forcing me to do all this sex work. I don’t know that I really want to do this. You’re not really compensating me and I don’t want to do it anymore,”‘ Mitchell-Kidd recounted.
‘Mr. Combs, she said, gave her this look like, “How dare you embarrass me at my party?” And she got really afraid.
‘Shortly thereafter, security came and said to her, “Hey we’re going to take you to another location,”‘ the lawyer added. ‘As a punishment they sent her to a hotel.’
English eventually stopped working for Combs in 2009 and fled to California, after which Combs allegedly reneged on his offer to help her break into the music industry and instead ‘blackballed’ her.
The dancer is now seeking unspecified damages in her civil lawsuit, claiming she suffered severe emotional distress.

Others have come forward with their stories from the infamous White Parties, including former music insider Tom Swoope who has told how there was ‘general admission’ then a series of ‘tiers’ ending with entrance to the inner sanctum where the ‘real’ partying went on.
He said that at one party he saw Diddy tell a young artist to perform a sex act on his bodyguard in return for $100,000 and a record deal, before claiming it was a joke when the young man was on the cusp of submitting.
Chillingly, Swoope claimed Diddy told him, ‘I can make anybody do anything because this life is what they want, and I got the keys to the castle.’
For his part, Swoope said he left the party thinking, ‘If this is what goes on behind the curtain and you’re all comfortable with this… nah I don’t want this life’.
‘There were so many celebrities there who were cool with who he was and what he did to entertain them. It’s not isolated,’ he added.
‘You all need to think of everybody when you think of him and the access and amount of people who were there.’
Diddy is now facing charges of sex trafficking and related crimes, and could face about 10 years behind bars if convicted
Diddy himself had even told Entertainment Tonight that he felt one day he would be arrested for his ‘crazy parties.’
‘You’re gonna hear about my parties,’ he said. ‘They’re gonna be shutting them down. They’re gonna probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just ’cause we wanna have a good time.
Diddy went on to say that he was being judged for adding a ‘different element’ to his bashes.
‘Whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. It’s a lot of people out there that feel intimidated by it,’ he argued.
