Music mogul Sean Diddy Combs was arrested and charged with numerous crimes including sexual harassment and trafficking. His latest victim, Thalia Graves filed a lawsuit against him, claiming that he and his then bodyguard Joseph Sherman raped her in 2001. She claims the two recorded themselves violently raping her while she was dating one of Diddy’s employees. She went ahead to allege she was dragged and taken into a room at the bad boy building.
According to TMZ, Thalia might be lying after the news outlet obtained text messages between the couple, trying to sue Diddy because “he’s the one that has the money.” In the text messages, she offered him $3M to back up her story. The message then shows Graves telling her then boyfriend that if he corroborates her story of assault, she’ll pay him, allegedly typing, “What do you n$3 mil?”
TMZ spoke to the man and he confirmed that the text messages were real. He claims that he believed she was trying to bribe him, therefore, blocked her on all platforms shortly after. Diddy’s team apparently have copies of the leaked text messages between Graves and her ex-boyfriend. This comes after Grave broke down in tears after filing the lawsuit, saying, “I’m glad he’s locked up, but that’s a temporary feeling of relief.”
According to Complex, Gloria Allred, Graves’ attorney, claims that Diddy is just the latest example of a wealthy man using his status to attempt to silence a victim. Allred told the outlet that she wasn’t buying the text message story and that “our client is looking forward to her day in court.” It is allegedly believed that Graves asked Diddy’s then bodyguard, to go along with her story. He shared them on social media, claiming that people are using his name as a scapegoat, saying, “You’ve got the wrong name, I’ve never seen you… I’ve never been in the same room as you.”
