Breaking News -ANOTHER ACCUSER New Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs ‘victim’ accuses rapper of raping her in studio with pal & filming it in latest bombshell lawsuit…See More 👇
UNDER-fire music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of violently raping a woman at a recording studio, according to a new lawsuit.
Combs, 54, is accused of carrying out the attack and also recording it on video.
The accuser, Thalia Graves, claims Combs and his head of security, Joseph Sherman, raped her at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City in 2001.
In her suit, Graves alleges that Combs lured her into a meeting with himself and Sherman where they gave her a drink “likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her briefly to lose consciousness,” according to documents obtained by TMZ.
She claimed that she woke up to find herself tied up and restrained, with Combs and Sherman brutally raping her.
Graves, who was 25 at the time and dating one of Combs’ employees, said she had experienced suicidal thoughts and needed therapy after the shocking alleged attack.
The suit adds that Graves didn’t report what happened at the time because she feared Combs and Sherman would use their power to ruin her life if she spoke out.
Graves said that she still lives in fear of Combs and that she has been forced to relive the trauma after learning in November last year that her “horrific rape” had been filmed.
She accused Combs and Sherman of sharing her video to try and humiliate her and her boyfriend, and that the thought of the footage being out caused her to consider taking her own life again.
The video was allegedly made available for sale, the suit states.
Graves is suing Combs, Sherman, and Bad Boy Records for damages, and says she experiences anxiety, panic attacks, and severe depression to this day.
Her attorney, Gloria Allred, is holding a press conference alongside Graves.
A visibly emotional Graves said that the “internal pain after being sexually assaulted has been incredibly hard to put into words.”
She went on: “Some of the hardest parts of this pain are the shame and the guilt I now experience that plays a negative part in my day-to-day ability to function properly.”
Graves added that she was “going through a divorce at the time of the assault,” and was “faced with disbelief and judgment,” when she came forward.
Asked where the alleged video of the assault is now, Gloria Allred said: “The complaint alleges that it was taken without her knowledge and consent that she wouldn’t have consented it was then published and viewed by others and they still be out there, being viewed.”
Allred added that her client would “never have consented” to either the filming of the video or being “victimized” in the way she alleges she was by Combs and Sherman.
She said she was representing other alleged victims of Combs, and she called on any witnesses who knew of the existence of any copies of the alleged video to come forward confidentially.
The U.S. Sun has approached representatives for Combs for comment.

It comes as Combs, the rapper and producer behind many major hits in the 1990s and 2000s, remains in custody in New York.
He is accused of running an empire of sex trafficking dating back to at least 2008.
To date, more than a dozen people have filed lawsuits against Combs accusing him of sexual assault.
Last November, Combs was accused by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura of subjecting her to years of abuse, beatings, and rape.
Combs settled the case less than 24 hours later, but this May, footage was released showing Combs attacking Cassie at a hotel, viciously beating her and throwing her against a wall.
In December last year, a woman accused Combs of gang-raping her when she was just 17 at his Big Apple recording studio after flying her to New York and giving her drugs and alcohol.
The woman, who filed suit anonymously as Jane Doe, accused Combs, Bad Boy Records president Harve Pierre, and a third, unidentified person, of raping her in 2003.
In February this year, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging Combs sexually assaulted him and forced him to have sex with prostitutes.
The following month, Homeland Security agents raided Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex-trafficking investigation.
Federal agents found guns, hidden cameras, and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil in the raids, it was later reported.
Last week, Combs was arrested at a Manhattan hotel and charged with prostitution, racketeering, and sex trafficking.
A 14-page unsealed indictment alleges he created “a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in… sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”
Prosecutors allege Combs took part in “freak off” parties at his properties, where women were hooked up to IV drips following marathon sex sessions.
