EXCLUSIVE: 9 people have sued Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for sexual assault in 8 months. Here’s a timeline of the allegations against him….See comments below
On Wednesday, The Los Angeles Times, Fox News, and TMZ reported that Adria English, a pornstar, accused Combs of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking in a lawsuit filed in a district court in New York on July 3.
The LA Times reported English said she worked for Combs between 2004 and 2009 and accused him of forcing her to have sex with guests at his high-profile “white parties.”
Jonathan Davis, Combs’ attorney, told the LA Times in a statement: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.” English is the ninth person to file a lawsuit against Combs since November 2023. These have damaged Combs’ reputation as a hip-hop mogul and led to some companies cutting ties with him.
Combs settled the first lawsuit, filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura who accused him of rape and physical assault in November. Combs has denied all allegations, but in May, he apologized in an Instagram post for hitting Ventura after CNN published a video showing the rapper attacking her.
Combs could also face criminal charges. In March, Sean Combs’ homes were raided by federal officials, with multiple reports indicating the search was related to a sex trafficking probe.
