Cassie’s lawyer has slammed Sean “Diddy” Combs for enjoying life amid the string of abuse allegations against the disgraced rapper, who has been the subject of a federal lawsuit.
Douglas Wigdor slammed the 54-year-old Bad Boy Records founder, who faces a string of sexual assault and trafficking cases and was exposed after CNN leaked footage of him physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, 37, in 2016 at a hotel.
He has recently been seen rafting and boarding his private jet.
The lawyer reacted to TMZ“I don’t think rafting will prepare you for the rough waters that await you.”
Combs, whose Los Angeles mansion was raided by Homeland Security, has just become the subject of a new lawsuit filed by former adult actress Adria English, who says Combs hired her to have sex with revelers at some of his parties and allegedly threatened to blacklist her and her model boyfriend if she did not comply.

And she is “even more motivated” to seek justice after seeing him having a good time despite “all the atrocities he has caused.”
Her attorney, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, told the outlet: ‘After seeing defendant Combs rafting and flying around in his personal plane, seemingly enjoying life despite all the atrocities he has caused and been accused of by countless people for decades, Ms. English is even more motivated to ensure that justice prevails.
‘Ms. English and all the other plaintiffs who have filed lawsuits across the country against Defendant Combs are people with limited resources fighting for their cause after being marginalized, abused and exploited by a billionaire.’
Adria added in her court documents, obtained by TMZ, that she met the rapper around 2004, when her boyfriend was auditioning for a modeling job with Sean John.
She claimed in her documents that her boyfriend and another model were asked to perform a sexual act with Combs in order to get the job.
Adria, who says her adult acting name was Omunique, said her boyfriend declined, but she got a second chance when one of Combs’ associates offered him the job if he would allegedly convince Adria to work as a “go-go dancer” at one of the rapper’s parties in the Hamptons.
She and her partner agreed, and she worked the party over Labor Day weekend in 2004, and says she later took jobs at more of Combs’ parties where she apparently had to drink alcohol laced with drugs, including ecstasy, and was encouraged to flirt with guests.
Adria says Combs “groomed” her for sex trafficking over time and required her to have sex with famed jewelry designer Jacob Arabov, known as “Jacob the Jeweler.”

He’s recently been spotted rafting and hopping on his private jet, with the lawyer telling TMZ: “I don’t think rafting prepares him for the rough waters ahead”; he’s seen in London in November.
The lawsuit was filed by Mitchell-Kidd and Steven Metcalf and claimed Adria had “forced sexual relations” with the jeweler and was paid an additional $1,000 on top of what she normally received for working Diddy’s parties.
Adria says she was then “passed on” to other attendees at Combs’ parties, who also allegedly sexually assaulted her.
She said she eventually escaped Combs and returned to California in 2009, but says the rapper banned her and her boyfriend from entertainment circles as punishment.
Adria alleged that she suffered emotional trauma, including intimacy issues and painful memories, as a result of the alleged sex trafficking and is seeking unspecified damages.
Combs’ attorney, Jonathan Davis, maintains the allegations are false.
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it will not change the fact that Mr Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone,” Davis told DailyMail.com. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any evidence.
The defense attorney added: “Fortunately, there is a fair and impartial judicial process to find the truth and Mr. Combs is confident that he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court.”
In February, music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a lawsuit alleging that Diddy forced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.
Meanwhile, a former porn star is suing Diddy over allegations that he trafficked her into having sex with party guests and threatened to blackmail her if she didn’t comply.
Adria English, whose stage name was Omunique, claimed she met the musician in 2004 when her boyfriend was auditioning for a modelling job with Sean John.
Another of Diddy’s accusers was a woman who said the rap producer raped her two decades ago when she was 17.
Combs and his attorneys have denied all allegations in the lawsuit.
The rapper is one of the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.
In May, a video surfaced showing him brutally beating his ex Cassie Ventura.
The rapper took to Instagram to apologize, saying, “I hit rock bottom, but I don’t make excuses. It’s so hard to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you just have to. I was f***ed up.”
The rapper has been embroiled in legal troubles and sexual assault lawsuits, and a video recently obtained by CNN shows footage of him beating singer Cassie inside the InterContinental Hotel (seen above).
‘I want to say I hit rock bottom, but I make no apologies, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I’m disgusted.’
“I was disgusted when I did it and I am disgusted now. I sought professional help, I started going to therapy and rehabilitation,” she added.
“I had to ask God for mercy and grace. I am very sorry, but I am committed to being a better man every day. I am not asking for forgiveness, I am truly sorry.”
Cassie sued Combs last year for rape and other crimes. They settled out of court in November for an undisclosed amount.
