A new lawsuit accuses the rapper of attacking Thalia Graves in 2001 and filming the incident. Thalia was 25 and dating one of Comb's employees at the time of the alleged assault. Her lawsuit has claimed Combs and his former head of security, Joseph Sherman, of "mercilessly raping" her inside the Bad Boy Records studio in Manhattan. The men allegedly gave Thalia a drink that caused her to pass out, before awakening "to find herself bound and restrained". The lawsuit accused both Combs and Sherman of "brutally" sexually assaulting Thalia as they recorded the attack on video. "I have PTSD, depression and anxiety. I'm emotionally scarred," Thalia said at a press conference on Tuesday, 24 September. "It has been hard for me to trust others, form healthy relationships or even feel safe in my own skin. Flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive thoughts make me feel like it's a constant struggle.". Crying, Thalia explained she still experienced trauma from the alleged incident. "It's a pain that goes to the very core of who you are, leaving emotional scars that may never fully heal. Some of the hardest parts of this pain are the shame and the guilt I have experienced that plays a negative part in my day-to-day ability to be able to function properly.". Combs is currently in jail and on suicide watch as he awaits his sex-trafficking trial. He has maintained his innocence.
