DiddyHis latest accuser – who is suing him for allegedly raping and recording her – tried to get her now-ex-boyfriend to corroborate his claim by paying him 7 figures, according to the ex… TMZ has learned.
Thalia Graves and suing Diddy and his head of security, Jose Shermanfor allegedly raping her in 2001 — and in the lawsuit, she says she was dating one of Diddy’s employees, who saw a video of the alleged incident.
However, TMZ has seen a November 2023 text message exchange between Thalia and the man who was her boyfriend, and in it she reveals that she is planning to sue Diddy “because he is the one with the money.”
It also appears that she offers to give her boyfriend $3 million if he agrees to support her version of alleged events. After asking him to attest that he saw the supposed video of the incident, the actual text reads: “How much do you make on $3 million?”
We actually spoke to Thalia’s ex, who confirmed the validity of the text messages… and told us he interpreted it as an attempted bribery.
After receiving the message, he says he blocked Thalia’s phone number, and also blocked her on social media.
What’s more… we’re told that Diddy’s lawyers also have a copy of the same texts we reviewed between Thalia and her then-boyfriend.
Thalia’s lawyer, Gloria Allredtells TMZ … “It is all too common for rich, powerful men and their supporters to attempt to discredit, shame and humiliate accusers who have the courage to speak out. The complaint speaks for itself. Our client is looking forward to her day in court.”

You may remember… Allred and Graves held a press conference after filing the lawsuitwhich was incredibly exciting. Thalia sobbed as she spoke about the physical and mental trauma caused by the alleged rape.
Since the lawsuit was filed, Diddy’s former head of security has maintained that he never met Thalia Graves and did not work for Diddy at the time of the alleged assault.
