Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Vehemently Denies Raping Woman With Diddy

Diddy‘s former bodyguard Joseph “Big Joe” Sherman vehemently denies Thalia Graves’ lawsuit allegations that he participated in raping her with Puff.

Big Joe Tries to Clear His Name

On Tuesday (Oct. 1), NBC 4 New York sat down with Sherman who wants to clear his name after being accused in a new lawsuit of sexually assaulting Graves along with the embattled music mogul back in 2001. Sherman tells NBC he’s never met Graves in his life.

“I’m not questioning her integrity. I’m questioning her claims against me,” Sherman said at the 44-second mark of the interview below. “I wasn’t the head of security. You’ve got the wrong man. I’ve never seen you. I’ve never did anything negative with you. I’ve never been in the same room with you. Not only wasn’t I there. I wasn’t even in New York.”

Sherman claims his employment with Bad Boy ended prior to the alleged incident in 2001. He went on to show Instagram DMs, which he claims came from Graves. One message informs Sherman that if he will be a witness in the Diddy suit, she will leave him out of it.

“[Graves] and whoever she was in cahoots with were orchestrating a money grab for me to be a part of that money grab,” he added.

Back on Sept. 24, Graves filed a lawsuit aginst Diddy and Sherman, which accused them of drugging, bounding and raping her in 2001, and sharing the footage afterward.
