Joseph Sherman, a former bodyguard for Sean "Diddy" Combs, strongly denies allegations of sexual assault dating back to 2001. The accusations come from Thalia Graves, who claims she was drugged and assaulted by both Diddy and Sherman at Bad Boy Entertainment offices.

Sherman maintains he has never met Graves and wasn't in New York when the alleged incident occurred. He states he had already left Bad Boy Records by 2001, where he worked as security during the 1990s.

According to Sherman, Graves contacted him via Instagram in late 2023, asking him to testify against Diddy in exchange for being excluded from legal proceedings. He refused, viewing it as a "money grab" attempt targeting Diddy.

Key points about Sherman's defense:

• Denies ever meeting or knowing Graves
• Claims he wasn't employed by Bad Boy Records in 2001
• States the allegations have severely impacted his career and family life
• Plans to file a defamation counterclaim

The case emerges amid broader legal challenges for Diddy, who faces over 100 new allegations of sexual assault and trafficking. Sherman emphasizes his relationship with Diddy was strictly professional during his employment as security personnel, with no contact since leaving Bad Boy Records in the early 2000s.

Sherman's legal team is actively working to clear his name and hold accusers accountable for what they maintain are false allegations.
