Adria English is one of the alleged victims of P. Diddy, against whom she filed a complaint. She recounts for Paris Match the evenings of debauchery organized by the rapper accused of rape, sex trafficking, criminal conspiracy and transporting people for the purposes of prostitution.
“This guy destroyed my life,” she said. It was to obtain justice after years of suffering that Adria English decided to fight. This former dancer, formerly employed by the rapper to host his evenings, tells Paris Match in detail of the horror she experienced. In the 2000s, P. Diddy was at the top, millions were flowing freely, his music was a hit, he worked with many brands and reigned supreme over the night, from Miami to Saint-Tropez. In 2004, when she was recruited, Adria began her career as a dancer. Born into a disadvantaged family, she earned her living by doing “a little go-go dancing” in a New York club.

Diddy then suggests that he think bigger and hires him for one of his famous all-nighters in the Hamptons. When she arrives there, a sexy uniform is presented to her. “My role was to set the mood by dancing among the guests. That evening, there were a lot of people there: designer Donna Karan, singer Mariah Carey. Some guests, like the Osbournes or Diana Ross, came with their children.” Guests sometimes very young, transported too early into the world of lust, depravity and drugs. Adria remembers a table “entirely filled with marijuana, ecstasy, pink cocaine…” The dancer also keeps an image in mind: “In the Hamptons, there was a young girl lying on a table with fruit on her body. I remember Diddy asking me to catch one, resting on his nipple, with my mouth. I later learned that the little girl was not 15 years old. »
But these are still only “official evenings”. The goal, she said, was to convince guests to stay as long as possible. “The guests had to let loose. I had to do lap dances on the gentlemen's knees to warm them up. Its purpose, I understood later, was to encourage the guests to stay longer at Diddy's house. Because once the first part of the evening was over, once the majority of the stars had left, what American justice described as “freak offs” began, parties of total debauchery where many people, women, men, minors were allegedly abused. sexually and filmed.
A new uniform…
When P. Diddy's alleged accomplice offers Adria a new contract, this time for a party in Miami, a black uniform is handed to her. It is black in color, “the code reserved for girls who slept, so that initiated guests could identify us. We also had special bottles, they probably contained drugs because we turned into zombies.”
It was at this home on the east coast of the United States that Adria was allegedly first abused by a man making jewelry for rap stars. When she tries to escape this unhealthy world, the dancer can't do anything against Diddy: “You know, you could disappear and your boyfriend would never know what happened to you…”, he would have told her. Trapped, the young woman loses her footing. Speaking to Match, she remembers having one day “I regained consciousness in the middle of a 'backroom'* without memory of having entered it, in the middle of a sexual act with three men: Diddy, her bodyguard and a very famous actor.

Adria's speech and complaint obviously did not please P. Diddy. The latter, in prison in Brooklyn accused of rape, sex trafficking, criminal conspiracy and transporting people for the purposes of prostitution, allegedly threatened her. “Since I filed a complaint, I have received death threats, I had to take refuge with friends. Diddy has connections with gangs, I fear for my life,” she laments. “Even though I'm in trouble financially, I won't keep quiet. I resisted his threats, I will resist his dollars,” she admits, however. P. Diddy will be tried in May 2025. The rapper denies all allegations.
*Diddy's houses all have “backrooms”, into which initiated guests swing to experience unimaginable orgies…
