Sean ‘Diddy,’ the renowned music mogul, is currently entangled in a whirlwind of serious allegations brought forward by Thalia Graves. Recently, it came to light that Graves has been accused of bribing her former partner to support her sexual assault claims against Diddy and his one-time bodyguard, Joseph Sherman.

Graves had previously levelled accusations against Diddy and Sherman, alleging an assault that took place back in 2001, which she claims Diddy filmed. According to Graves, her connection to Diddy was through her former boyfriend, an executive at Bad Boy Records. Want to read more about her, read here
However, a recent report from TMZ brings to light a text conversation from 2023 between Graves and her ex-flame, where she allegedly discusses suing Diddy because he is wealthy and apparently offers him financial support after questioning if he has seen the video evidence of the alleged assault.

The former boyfriend reportedly told TMZ that he perceived these texts as a bribe, leading him to disconnect all forms of communication with Graves. It has been reported that Diddy’s legal team has copies of this supposed text exchange.
Graves’s legal representative, Gloria Allred, stated to Complex that wealthy men and their supporters often attempt to discredit, embarrass, and shun accusers who dare to step forward. Allred stands by Graves’s complaint, emphasising that it speaks for itself and that Graves eagerly awaits her day in court.
Contrarily, Joseph Sherman, known as “Big Joe,” denies ever working for Diddy at the time of the alleged incident and maintains he does not know of Graves.
Diddy, now 54, is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York, facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and involvement in prostitution since his indictment last month.
