Joseph Sherman, Diddy’s ex-bodyguard, sues accuser Thalia Graves for defamation.
- Sherman denies the 2001 rape allegations, highlighting his innocence.
- He claims he wasn’t employed by Diddy during the alleged incident.
- Sherman reveals supposed Instagram messages from Graves for leverage.
- The lawsuit sheds light on the personal impact of false accusations.
Joseph Sherman, who once served as Diddy’s bodyguard, has taken a bold step by filing a defamation lawsuit against Thalia Graves. Sherman, accused of assaulting Graves alongside Diddy back in 2001, vehemently denies the allegations.
The defamation suit hinges on Sherman’s claim that he could not have been involved in the alleged crime. According to Sherman, he had severed ties with Diddy in 1999, a full two years before the alleged incident. He argues that this timeline makes it impossible for him to have been present.
Sherman insists he was banned from Bad Boy records post-1999, as he had moved to work for rival Def Jam. This expulsion from his former workplace, Sherman claims, supports his assertion that the allegations are baseless.
Adding an intriguing twist, the lawsuit mentions Instagram messages purportedly sent by Graves to Sherman. These messages suggest that Graves was trying to coerce Sherman into supporting her claims against Diddy in exchange for legal leniency.
The drama intensifies as Sherman went public on Instagram, posting footage right after filing the lawsuit. His caption “Let the war begin, I want a 100 million,” clearly shows the gravity of the situation and his determination to clear his name.
Sherman’s legal pursuit highlights the severe consequences of false allegations and his commitment to vindicating his reputation.
