Sean 'Diddy' Combs And Bodyguard Raped Woman In 2001, Sold And Shared Video, Suit Says
HuffPost
The woman, then 25 and dating an executive at Bad Boy Records, claimed that she was drugged at a meeting the music mogul had requested.
A woman has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs and his bodyguard of drugging and raping her in the summer of 2001 and distributing footage of the alleged crime, according to a graphic lawsuit filed in New York City on Tuesday.
Thalia Graves’ lawsuit adds to a litany of rape and abuse claims against the media mogul and comes after his recent arrest in New York City on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Graves, who was 25 in 2001 and dating one of Combs’ employees, an executive at Bad Boy Records, claimed that Combs requested a meeting with her to discuss her boyfriend’s performance.
Upon arrival, Combs offered Graves a glass of wine, which she presumes was spiked because she soon felt “lightheaded, dizzy, and physically weak” after just a few sips. Then he and bodyguard Joseph Sherman, also known as Big Joe, took her to the Bad Boy studio in New York City, where she eventually lost consciousness and the rape occurred, the lawsuit says.

According to the 26-page complaint, when Graves regained consciousness, she was naked and bound at the wrists by what felt like a grocery bag. When Graves screamed for help, Sherman slammed Graves’ head against a pool table, and Combs then entered the room naked.
