These challenges began with allegations from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura last November.
Earlier this year, a video surfaced showing Combs in a physical altercation with Ventura in 2016, for which he issued an apology.
New Lawsuit Details Alleged Coercion and Threats
The new lawsuit filed in New York accuses Combs of coercing and pressuring Ms. English into sex work at parties. English further claims that Combs threatened to harm her career if she did not comply.
The lawsuit details 33 allegations against Combs and his associates, spanning events from 2004 to 2009. Despite these mounting accusations, Combs's lawyer maintains there is no evidence to support the claims.
Combs’s Legal Team Denies All Allegations
A representative for Combs has asserted to US media that there is no evidence to substantiate the claims of sexual assault or sex trafficking.
The statement expressed confidence that Combs will prevail against these and other accusations in court.
English Joins Growing List of Accusers
Adria English is the latest woman to come forward with allegations against Combs. These accusations follow a lawsuit filed by Ms. Ventura, which was settled by Combs in November for an undisclosed amount.
Ms. English's lawsuit details accusations of rape and sexual trafficking against Combs over a decade. While Combs's representatives clarified that the settlement with Ms. Ventura was not an admission of guilt, several other allegations of sexual and physical abuse have surfaced since then.
Federal Investigation Looms Over Combs
Earlier this year, federal authorities conducted raids on Combs's residences in connection with a human trafficking investigation.
NBC News, citing sources familiar with the situation, reported that Combs is aware of his status as a subject in the ongoing investigation.
Specific details and any potential charges remain undisclosed, with neither federal officials nor Combs's legal team commenting publicly on the matter.
