Woman accuses Puff Daddy, bodyguard of violently r@ping her in 2021

A shocking new lawsuit claims that hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and his former bodyguard drugged, handcuffed, and severely r@ped a lady in 2001. He filmed the crime and showed it to others.

In court documents submitted on Tuesday, September 24, the victim identified as Graves claimed that Combs and his ex-bodyguard Joseph Sherman had “mercilessly r@ped” her when she was in the Manhattan Bad Boy Records studio.

The lawsuit claims that after luring the 25-year-old Graves, who was dating one of Combs’ staff members, into the studio, the two men offered her a drink that was “probably laced with a drug,” which momentarily knocked her out.

According to court documents, Graves awoke to find herself “bound and restrained” by Combs and Sherman, who disregarded her pleas for assistance while they “mercilessly” r@ped her.

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, claims that Graves, who now resides in Texas, was afraid Combs would use his influence as a hip-hop industry kingmaker to “ruin her life” and so never reported the heinous attack to the authorities.

However, the lawsuit claims that she made the decision to make her claim public shortly after Combs was arrested on September 16 on federal counts of racketeering and s3x trafficking.
