Joseph Sherman, former bodyguard for Sean "Diddy" Combs, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Thalia Graves following her allegations of sexual assault from 2001.

Graves accused Sherman and Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting her at the Bad Boy Records studio, claiming the incident was recorded and distributed without her consent. Sherman vehemently denies these allegations, stating he had never met Graves and wasn't employed by Combs during the alleged incident.

The lawsuit, filed on November 8, 2024, addresses the severe damage to Sherman's personal and professional reputation caused by what he claims are "entirely false" accusations. Sherman's legal team emphasizes the importance of evidence and accountability in such serious allegations.

The case has garnered significant public attention, sparking debates about victim credibility and the rights of the accused. While independent from Combs' other legal challenges, this lawsuit adds to the growing number of allegations surrounding the music mogul's business empire.

As the legal proceedings continue, both parties await their day in court. The outcome of this case could set an important precedent regarding the balance between protecting alleged victims and preserving the reputation of the accused.

The court will ultimately determine whether Graves' claims have merit or if Sherman's defamation lawsuit will prevail, marking a significant moment in the ongoing discussion about accountability and justice in high-profile cases.
