Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been sued by a woman who claims the rapper rap3d her and recorded the assault.
The alleged victim, Thalia Graves, says the music mogul, 54, and his head of security Joseph Sherman rap3d her the Bad Boy Records studios in New York back in 2001.
It is the latest legal filing against the rapper, who is in jail awaiting trial after he was charged with racketeering and drug trafficking last week.
Graves claims she was 25 and dating one of the rapper’s employees when she was lured into a meeting by Diddy, who said he wanted to ‘discuss her boyfriend’s supposed performance issues.’
According to her lawsuit, Diddy and Sherman ‘sequestered her’ and gave her a drink that was ‘likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her briefly to lose consciousness.’

Sean ‘ Diddy ‘ Combs has been sued by a woman who claims the rapper rap3d her and recorded the assault
She has thought about killing herself, has been forced to receive extensive psychological treatment and continues to suffer from severe depression following the alleged assault, the suit adds.
Graves also claims she did not know that Diddy and Sherman had recorded the assault until November, 2023, when they supposedly showed the footage to multiple men.
The suit states that Graves ex-boyfriend ‘disclosed that Combs and Sherman had a pattern and practice of non-consensually recording women engaging in s3xual acts and making those videos available to the public, including by selling tapes as p0rnography.’
Graves is the 11th person to publicly accuse Diddy of s3xual assault.
The rapper is locked up in Brooklyn awaiting trial on allegations that he presided over a sordid empire of s3xual crimes protected by blackmail and shocking acts of violence.
He has been in federal custody since his arrest Monday night at the Manhattan hotel.

A federal magistrate on Tuesday rejected his initial bail request. On Wednesday, he and his lawyers struck out with a second judge, who will preside over his trial.
Diddy is accused of inducing female victims and male s3x workers into drugged-up, sometimes dayslong s3xual performances dubbed ‘Freak Offs.’
A thousand bottles of baby oil were discovered during searches of his properties, it is claimed. And prosecutors allege women who participated in the freak offs were so worn out by the marathon s3x sessions they needed IV drips after.
The indictment also refers obliquely to an attack on his former girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, that was captured on video released earlier this year by CNN.
In court Agnifilo acknowledged Diddy was ‘not a perfect person,’ saying he’d used drugs and had been in ‘toxic relationships’ but was getting treatment and therapy.
He maintained that the case stemmed from one long-term, consensual relationship that faltered amid infidelity. He didn’t name the woman, but the details matched those of Diddy’s decade-long involvement with Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura.
The ‘Freak Offs,’ Agnifilo contended, were an expansion of that relationship, and not coercive.
Prosecutors portrayed the scope as larger. They said they had interviewed more than 50 victims and witnesses.
Like many aging hip-hop figures, the Bad Boy Records founder had established a gentle public image. The father of seven was a respected businessman whose annual Hamptons ‘White Party’ was once a must-have invitation for the jet-setting elite.
But prosecutors said he facilitated his crimes using the same companies, people and methods that vaulted him to power. They said they would prove the charges with financial and travel records, electronic communications and videos of the ‘Freak Offs.’
Arguing to keep Diddy in jail, prosecutor Emily Johnson said that the once-celebrated rapper has a long history of intimidating both accusers and witnesses to his alleged abuse. She cited text messages from women who said Diddy forced them into the Freak Offs and then threatened to leak videos of them engaging in s3x acts.
Johnson seized on a text message from a woman who said Combs dragged her down a hallway by her hair. According to Johnson, the woman told the rapper: ‘I’m not a rag doll, I’m someone’s child.’
