After Combs was slammed with a federal indictment, Graves filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault.
Thalia Graves alleged in a newly filed civil suit that she was sexually assaulted by Combs and his bodyguard, Joseph Sherman, according to court documents obtained by The Root. The complaint alleges that during the summer of 2001, when she was 25 years old, she was lured by the two men into meeting them alone. The filing then claims she was given a laced drink that led her to lose consciousness. When she woke up, she states in the suit, she was bound and restrained. The complaint then alleges the two men “brutally sexually abused” her. The suit says in November of 2023, she learned the alleged sexual assault was captured on video and allegedly shared to multiple men.
Litigation is still pending. Part of her lawsuit demands video footage of her encounters with Combs be handed over.
