Diddy’s former bodyguard Joseph “Big Joe” Sherman has vehemently denied Talia Graves’ lawsuit alleging that he was involved in raping her with Puff.
Da Qiao tries to clear his name
On Tuesday (October 1), NBC 4 New York spoke with Sherman, who hopes to clear his name after being accused of sexually assaulting Graves in 2001 along with the embattled music mogul .
“I’m not questioning her integrity. I’m questioning her accusations against me,” Sherman said in the 44-second interview below. “I’m not the head of security. You’ve got the wrong person. I’ve never met you. I’ve never done anything negative to you. I’ve never been in the same room as you. Not only am I not even in New York .
Sherman claimed that his employment relationship with Bad Boy ended before the alleged incident in 2001. One message told Sherman that if he would be a witness in Diddy’s lawsuit, she would exclude him.
“[Graves] Whoever she was in cahoots with was orchestrating a money heist and making me part of the money heist,” he added.
As early as September 24, Graves filed a lawsuit against Diddy and Sherman, accusing them of drugging, beating and raping her in 2001 and sharing the video afterwards.
