Sean “Diddy” Combs Accused Of Rape & Selling Video Of Assault In Latest Lawsuit Against Incarcerated Mogul

A week after Sean “Diddy” Combs entered a not guilty plea on sex trafficking charges and more, another lawsuit alleging severe sexual assault has been filed against the incarcerated performer/producer. “In or around the summer of 2001, Plaintiff’s life was violently knocked off course when Defendants Sean Combs and Joseph Sherman viciously raped her at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City,” says the complaint against Combs, his bodyguard and Bad Boy corporate entities filed in federal court in New York for Thalia Graves on Tuesday. “Plaintiff was twenty-five at the time and dating one of Combs’ employees, a relationship that Combs exploited to lure Plaintiff into meeting him and Sherman alone,” the graphic suit adds. “Once they successfully sequestered Plaintiff, Combs and Sherman gave Plaintiff a drink, likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her briefly to lose consciousness.

She awoke to find herself bound and restrained.” “Following the assault and multiple times over the years, both Combs and Sherman contacted Plaintiff and warned her to be silent, threatening repercussions including Plaintiff potentially losing custody of her son if she ever disclosed the assault,” the three-claim civil action claims in terms and allegations found in a number of past lawsuits in recent months against Combs and his entourage. “Because of their enormous power in the industry, including through their ownership of and positions at the Combs Corporations, Plaintiff knew that they could follow through on their threats.” Over 20 years after the alleged attack, the wound of the rape was ripped open anew for Graves in late 2023.
