Thalia Graves, one of several women accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual abuse, is now facing accusations herself for allegedly offering money to her ex-boyfriend to back up her claims.

A recent report revealed that she exchanged text messages with the former boyfriend and suggested she was suing the rap mogul because he “has the money.”

In a lawsuit filed last month, the 48-year-old Texas woman accused the arrested rapper and his bodyguard Joseph Sherman of raping her in 2001. The two allegedly recorded the incident and sold it “as pornography,” the lawsuit stated.

“It’s a pain that reaches into your very core of who you are,” Thalia said at a press conference held hours after the lawsuit was filed against Diddy.

“The combination of physical and emotional pain has created a cycle of suffering from which it is so hard to break free,” she added.

The lawsuit also claimed that one of Diddy’s employees, whom Thalia was dating at the time, was shown the video of the alleged heinous attack.

A new report claimed that Thalia had paid her former boyfriend to back up her claims; the ex-boyfriend was one of the arrested rapper’s employees at the time

However, a recent report claimed that Thalia tried to bribe the former boyfriend by offering a 7-figure amount in exchange for his corroboration of her claims.

The Diddy accuser allegedly sent a text message to the ex-boyfriend saying she plans to sue the Grammy winner “because he’s the one that has the money,” according to TMZ.

She also allegedly offered him $3 million to back her claims of having seen the video of the alleged incident.

Text messages reportedly suggest that the alleged victim offered $3 million to her ex-boyfriend to attest that he had seen the video

“What do you n$3 mil?” read a text she sent after allegedly asking him to attest her claims.

The TMZ report claimed that the ex-boyfriend confirmed receiving the text messages. He also reportedly interpreted the texts as Thalia’s way of offering a bribe, after which he blocked her on his phone and social media.

Gloria Allred, the lawyer representing Thalia, acknowledged the bribery claims in a statement to TMZ.

Thalia’s lawyer Gloria Allred declined to comment on several questions posed by reporters during the press conference

“It is very common that rich powerful men and their supporters attempt to discredit, shame, and humiliate accusers who have the courage to come forward,” Gloria said in a statement to Bored Panda and others via email.

“The complaint speaks for itself,” the attorney added. “Our client is looking forward to her day in court.”
