A week after Sean “Diddy” Combs pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, another severe lawsuit has been filed against him, adding to the growing list of allegations against the music mogul.

### New Lawsuit Overview
– **Plaintiff**: Thalia Graves
– **Allegations**: The lawsuit alleges that in the summer of 2001, Combs and his bodyguard, Joseph Sherman, raped Graves at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City. At the time, Graves was 25 years old and dating one of Combs’ employees, which the suit claims Combs exploited to lure her into a private meeting with him and Sherman.

### Details of the Allegations
– **Assault Description**: According to the complaint, once Graves was isolated, she was given a drink that was likely laced with drugs, causing her to lose consciousness. She claims she awoke to find herself bound and restrained.
– **Threats and Intimidation**: The lawsuit states that after the assault, both Combs and Sherman allegedly contacted Graves multiple times, threatening her with repercussions if she ever disclosed the assault, including the potential loss of custody of her son. This reflects a pattern seen in other lawsuits against Combs, where alleged victims report being intimidated into silence.

### Emotional Impact
– Graves describes how the trauma from the assault was exacerbated in late 2023 when she learned that Combs and Sherman had allegedly recorded the rape and shown the video to others to humiliate her and her boyfriend. This revelation reportedly sent Graves into a deep depression, prompting her to reconsider her mental health and wellbeing.

### Broader Context
– The lawsuit is part of a larger pattern of accusations against Combs, with multiple individuals coming forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. Federal prosecutors have highlighted a disturbing trend in Combs’ alleged behavior, including the recording of sexual encounters to intimidate and silence those involved.

### Legal Actions
– Graves is seeking a jury trial in her 26-page complaint, which was filed in federal court in New York. Following the filing, she appeared at a press conference in Los Angeles with her attorney, Gloria Allred, further drawing attention to the serious nature of her allegations.

This latest lawsuit adds to the mounting legal troubles for Combs, as he continues to face multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. The ongoing scrutiny and these new developments illustrate a significant shift in the narrative surrounding his legacy in the music industry.
