In recent days, the American entertainment industry and world media have been shaken by serious accusations against Sean "Diddy" Combs - one of the biggest names in hip hop.
Diddy's famous "White Parties," which once attracted a slew of Hollywood A-listers, are under investigation for allegations of sexual abuse and human trafficking.
According to Hindustan Times, Adria Sheri English - a former adult entertainer filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging that she was forced to participate in pornographic activities at these parties in the early 2000s.
Behind the lavish appearance of the parties, English recounts, was a dark reality where forced sexual acts took place.
Inside the infamous "White Parties"
According to English's testimony, she was hired as a dancer at lavish "White Parties" in the early 2000s.
English describes these parties as exclusive events hosted by Diddy in the Hamptons, a wealthy coastal neighborhood in New York frequented by the rich and famous. Guests attending these parties are required to adhere to a dress code of all-white, which is why these parties are called “White Parties.”
However, it is worth noting that drugs and alcohol were used at these parties.
Particularly egregious, English revealed that certain bottles of alcohol had been laced with illegal stimulants and served exclusively to women at parties.
English claims the effects of these drugs are so strong that she often can't remember how she got home after attending "white parties".
The "secret" parts of the party
English revealed that the "private" parts of the party only began after most of the guests had left late at night.
These activities take place in private rooms guarded by security personnel, ensuring that no one but the selected participants can know what is happening inside.
She said she felt coerced by Diddy's immense power and feared that if she did not comply, the music mogul would destroy the career he had promised to help her build.
Shocking guest list
From the 1990s to the 2000s, many A-list stars were photographed attending Diddy's "white parties."
The shocking guest list included names like Paris Hilton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Brown, Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian and Ashton Kutcher, among many other celebrities.
However, it should be noted that the presence of these stars at the parties does not necessarily imply their involvement in the alleged illegal activities.
English's lawsuit is part of a broader U.S. government investigation into sex trafficking allegations involving Diddy, which includes not only allegations of sexual abuse but also bribery, arson and kidnapping.
In particular, prosecutors referred to events known as "freak-offs." These are bizarre parties that involve sexual acts, often carried out under the influence of drugs and involving prostitutes.
Diddy allegedly filmed these events with the intent of blackmailing attendees and buying their silence.
Prosecutors also allege that some of the people involved in these "freak-offs" needed medical assistance, such as intravenous fluids, to recover from the terrifying experiences.
Last year, singer Cassie - Diddy's ex-girlfriend - also filed a lawsuit with similar allegations, claiming that she was forced to participate in "bizarre incidents" directed by Diddy.
Diddy is currently being held in federal prison in Brooklyn pending trial.
