While Diddy faces lawsuits in federal court on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, a new sexual assault lawsuit has emerged against him and his bodyguard, Joseph “Big Joe” Sherman. Thalia Graves filed a lawsuit earlier this week claiming that two men assaulted her at Bad Boy Studios in New York in 2001, when she was 25 years old. Not only that, she also accused the pair of drugging her, filming the incident and trying to profit from the pornographic videos. Both defendants deny all allegations made and Sherman recently detailed the circumstances of his dismissal in the Daily Mail.
Diddy’s former bodyguard reportedly told the media: “I know this for a fact, this is a money grab.” “I have never met this lady. There is no video of her like she said she is. I’ve never met her, I’ve never done anything with her. I don’t know, I don’t know this woman at all. ” Additionally, he also stated that he and Sean Combs were never that close to begin with. “I was crucified and tortured for things that had nothing to do with me and me. [Diddy] Not even friends. We don’t have any relationship. I haven’t been with Dee Dee in 24 years.

“So, I understand that no matter what I say, the public and people in the media are going to say that I’m guilty, that I’m a monster, that I did this,” Didi’s former colleague concluded. “But as long as I know in my heart and in my eyes that I had nothing to do with it, I’m fine. I can go to any law office and take a lie detector test any day of the week.” Sherman founded a pornographic publication Rhymes N Dimes,” Graves claimed that the publication was a front for sharing his and his friends’ alleged sexual assaults as pornography.
