In shocking claims made against Sean “Diddy” Combs, a woman has come forward claiming that she was allegedly raped on a pool table, drugged and was recorded at Bad Boys Records’ studio in New York City. The said crime took place 20 years ago and she is now coming forward since others have spoken against his atrocities.
The woman named Thalia Graves spoke for the first time about the alleged rape and abuse and broke down while recounting the whole episode. Speaking to the press, Thalia said, “The internal pain after being sexually assaulted has been incredibly deep and hard to put into words.”
Thalia cried and added, “It goes beyond just physical harm caused by and during the assault. It’s a pain that reaches into the very core of who you are and leaves emotional scars that may never fully heal.”
First alleged victim of Sean Diddy Combs' freak-offs comes forward
The press conference was live-streamed. It was held at her attorney Gloria Allred’s Los Angeles office. This was hours after Thalia Graves filed a 26-page civil complaint against Sean Diddy Combs and his then-bodyguard Joseph Sherman, Bad Boy Entertainment and others, in federal court in New York.
She claims that Sean’s bodyguard had drugged her, tied her hands and recorded the rape. The video was shown to “multiple men”.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on September 16 and charged in federal court with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Sean "Diddy" Combs accused of sexual assault, rape and freak- offs
There are plenty of cases against Sean at the moment including “electronically recorded” freak-offs, described as elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged and directed. Thalia is the first alleged victim to come forward and detail how Combs and Sherman videotaped the rape that took place in 2001. She was only 25 at the time and was dating a Bad Boy Records executive, according to her complaint.
In her lawsuit, Thalia said, “Some of the hardest parts of this pain are the shame and guilt I have experienced that plays a negative part in my day-to-day ability to function properly. Being blamed, questioned and threatened has often made me feel worthless, isolated and sometimes responsible for what happened to me.”
She added, “The trauma of the assault has taken a toll on my mental health. I have PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I am emotionally scarred. It has been hard for me to trust others, form healthy relationships, or even feel safe in my own skin. I’m glad that he is locked up, but that’s a temporary feeling of relief.”
