‘Beyond Just Physical Harm’: Diddy Accuser Opens Up About Alleged Abuse Amid Rapper’s Arrest

by

As a lifestyle expert with a background in psychology and counseling, I cannot help but empathize deeply with Thalia Graves’ harrowing account of her alleged assault at the hands of Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs and his former bodyguard. Her story is a stark reminder of the devastating impact that such traumatic experiences can have on an individual’s life, leaving emotional scars that may never truly heal.

Thalia Graves recently made accusations that, approximately twenty years back, she was subjected to drug-facilitated abuse by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his ex-bodyguard, an incident which reportedly took place on a pool table within the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City, as stated by PEOPLE.

In a recent public appearance, Graves opened up about her feelings for the first time since Diddy’s arrest. She shared that the distressing incident had left deep emotional wounds, causing her to struggle with feelings of insecurity and fear, even in her own personal space.

At a press conference held on September 24, Graves, accompanied by her lawyer Gloria Allred, passionately recounted the alleged incident of sexual assault. Speaking about her ordeal, she expressed that the emotional distress caused by the sexual assault has been profound and difficult to articulate in words.

The impact transcends the bodily hurt inflicted during the attack; it’s a deep-seated agony that pierces straight to my soul, leaving behind wounds on my identity that might forever remain raw.

In the morning, Graves submitted a 26-page civil lawsuit at the federal court of New York against Combs, his previous security guard Joseph Sherman, Bad Boy Entertainment, and several others.

The complaint comes shortly after Combs was arrested on September 16 on allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. Combs pled not guilty and was denied bail twice.

The accusation suggests that Combs enticed Graves to the studio back in 2001 when she was 25. According to Graves, she was offered a glass of wine that may have contained a substance, leading to her temporarily passing out.

Upon waking up, she discovered herself in a precarious predicament, with her hands bound from behind. The lawsuit alleges that Combs and Sherman secretly filmed the incident and shared it with others.

Graves detailed how the alleged attack left a profound impact on her psychological and emotional health. She elaborated on how the incident disrupted her routine, leading to PTSD, depression, and anxiety. She admitted that among the toughest aspects of this suffering were the feelings of embarrassment and remorse she’s battled with, which have negatively affected her capacity to perform daily tasks effectively.

She mentioned that repeatedly being accused, doubted, and menaced has frequently left her feeling unvalued, secluded, and on occasion, bearing the burden of what transpired in her situation.

She openly shared that she frequently experiences feelings of loneliness and struggles with venturing outside due to prolonged periods of being detached and introspective, which makes it challenging for her to step out of her home.

She mentioned that the ordeal of the attack has significantly impacted her psychological well-being. She’s suffering emotionally, making it challenging for her to trust people, establish healthy connections, and even find comfort within herself.

Graves’ grievance aims for both compensatory and punitive damages, with the specific amount yet to be decided by the court. Although Graves feels somewhat comforted that Combs is now imprisoned, she clarified that it doesn’t alleviate the suffering she endures. She expressed satisfaction with his incarceration, but this sense of relief is only temporary.
