Joseph "Big Joe" Sherman, former bodyguard of Sean "Diddy" Combs, strongly denies allegations of sexual assault from over 20 years ago. Sherman claims he has never met the accuser, Thalia Graves, and wasn't in New York when the alleged 2001 incident occurred at Bad Boy Entertainment offices.

Sherman states he had already left Bad Boy Records by 2001, making the accusations impossible. He reveals that Graves contacted him via Instagram in late 2023, attempting to persuade him to testify against Diddy in exchange for being excluded from legal proceedings.

The former bodyguard describes the allegations as part of a "money grab" targeting Diddy. The accusations have severely impacted Sherman's life, making it difficult for him to secure employment and affecting his family relationships.

Key points about the case:

• Sherman plans to file a defamation counterclaim
• He denies involvement in pornography production, clarifying he produces urban rap magazines
• The case is part of broader allegations against Diddy, who faces over 100 new claims
• Sherman maintains his relationship with Diddy was purely professional
• He had no contact with Diddy since leaving Bad Boy Records in the early 2000s

Sherman's legal team is focused on clearing his name and holding accusers accountable for what they claim are false allegations.
