Who is Thalia Graves, the New Alleged Victim of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs?
Following several lawsuits and allegations along with the recent indictment, Diddy is now facing a new lawsuit filed by Thalia Graves. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the lawsuit alleges that she was s*xually assaulted by the rapper in 2001 when she was 25 years old.
Though not much personal information about Graves was revealed, she alleges that she was lured into a meeting with Diddy and his bodyguard Sherman in regard to her then-boyfriend, who was reportedly employed at Bad Boy Records.
Graves believes that she was likely drugged en route, causing her to lose consciousness. The lawsuit states that Graves awoke to find herself naked, bound at Bad Boy Records studio in New York City, and was then allegedly r*ped and assaulted multiple times.
During the press conference, Graves, represented by attorney Gloria Allred, detailed the lasting emotional, psychological, and physical harm she has suffered, including PTSD, depression, and chronic pain.

It includes claims of violent s*xual assault, unauthorized filming, and the distribution of the footage without consent, potentially as p**nography. Graves stated at the press conference that she only became aware of the alleged circulating footage in November 2023.
Around the same time, another lawsuit was filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Her attorney also refrained from commenting on whether Combs had attempted to contact Graves.
Among various unspecified damages, Graves seeks the destruction of “all copies of any and all images and videos” of her assault.
Arrested on September 16, Combs faces charges of s*x trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution, which could result in a life sentence if he is found guilty. He has pleaded not guilty.
