New Lawsuit Accuses Diddy of Rape, Recording Alleged Sexual Abuse
As Sean “Diddy” Combs remains behind bars for alleged charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, he has been accused of rape by another woman.
Thalia Graves filed a lawsuit on Tuesday, September 24, claiming Diddy, 54, and his head of security Joseph Sherman raped her in 2001. According to documents obtained by Us Weekly, Graves said she was 25 years old when she started dating someone who worked for Diddy.
The music mogul allegedly lured her into a meeting with him and Sherman, where she was allegedly given her a drink “likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her briefly to lose consciousness.” Graves recalled waking up to find herself restrained as Diddy and Sherman allegedly sexually abused her.
The alleged incident caused Graves’ mental health to deteriorate. She got extensive psychological treatment due to severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks. In November 2023, Graves learned that Diddy and Sherman allegedly recorded her “horrific rape” and were showing it to other men. Us Weekly has reached out to Diddy’s team for comment.
