Thalia Graves Alleges Assault by Sean 'Diddy' Combs

A woman named Thalia Graves has filed a lawsuit against music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs and his bodyguard, accusing them of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2001.

Details of the Allegations

According to the complaint, Graves met Combs through her boyfriend, who worked at Combs’ record label, Bad Boy. During the summer of 2001, she accepted a glass of wine offered by Combs, after which she reportedly felt disoriented and unconscious.

• Upon regaining consciousness, she found herself in a studio with her hands bound.
• Graves alleged that Combs raped her and that his bodyguard, Joseph Sherman, also assaulted her.

The Aftermath

Graves shared her struggle with the psychological effect of the assault, stating, “The combination of physical and emotional pain has created a cycle of suffering from which it is so hard to break free.” Sherman has denied these allegations, labeling them as false and aimed at financial gain.

This lawsuit coincides with ongoing legal troubles for Combs, who faces multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and is currently detained on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Community Impact

Graves's case is one of many recent accusations against high-profile figures and highlights the need for continued discussions surrounding consent and survivor support.
