Last week, Sean Combs‘ former bodyguard, Joseph “Big Joe” Sherman, filed a defamation lawsuit against Thalia Graves, the woman who accused him of sëxual assault.
Sherman said he wasn’t working for Combs in 2001 when Graves claimed the assault took place at the offices of Bad Boy Records in NYC.
“I’m not questioning her integrity,” Sherman told News 4 New York. “I’m questioning her claims against me. I wasn’t head of security. You’ve got the wrong man,” he added.
Sherman showed News 4 I-Team reporter Sarah Wallace DM messages from Graves asking him to help her get Combs.
“Her and whoever that she’s in cahoots with was orchestrating a money grab. She wanted me to be a part of her money grab — it says it right in her texts. She wanted to get Diddy,” Sherman said.
"It's a lie on me!"

Now Sherman is going after bloggers who reported on the allegations against him.
In a post on his Instagram page, Sherman targeted bloggers who simply covered the news story about him.
“Let the war began I want a 100 million. My first lawsuit two more coming you,” he wrote, “post me on your blog once I get your information I’m coming for your neck. not posting the rest see me in court . this would never be possible if liberals would’ve win for years they been focusing on taking away the rights of all men [sic].”
In another post, Sherman claims bloggers are liable for defamation if they’re not a “mainstream media company like CNN or TMZ.”
He wrote: “more lawsuits on the way …when you post somebody and defame their name you are liable. I know you think saying “allegedly” saves your ass, but I’m gonna show you in court that you’re wrong if you’re not a mainstream media company like CNN or TMZ. Just waiting for my investigator to collect all the evidence and information on all the bloggers not the ones that just post the ones who focus on defaming me by interjecting into the situation. Wait till you see the next paperwork.”
Whoopi Goldberg Supports Cutting Off Relatives Who Voted for Donald Trump
“The View” co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin say they support people who cut off their family members during the holidays if they are Donald Trump supporters.
On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin said voting for trump is a “moral issue.”
The View co-hosts weighed in after a Yale psychiatrist told Joy Reid it is “completely fine” to cut off your relatives for the holidays if they voted for Trump.
Hostin said family members who voted for Trump have low morals.
“I really do feel that this candidate, President-elect Trump is just a different type of candidate — from the things he’s said and the things he’s done and the things he will do — it’s more of a moral issue for me, and I think it’s a moral issue for a lot of people,” she explained.
Goldberg added that she feels the “same way” about political beliefs that don’t match her own. “There are certain things where you don’t have to put your family in the middle of it. You can have dinner at another point but it might not be the time to gather because you know that there’s gonna be some tension.”
However, co-hosts Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin said they wouldn’t let politics “split up” their families during the holidays.
Navarro, who has a more traditional household than Goldberg and Hostin, said she won’t cut off her family members because of their political beliefs.
“I think everybody needs to do what’s right for them. I think you need to look into yourself and if going to a family gathering or with friends where it’s going to stress you out, then don’t go,” Navarro said.
She then noted that her husband Al’s children voted for Trump and he has 13 grandchildren that he “refuses not to see” and will see them “come hell or high water.”
“He has told them, ‘I will not let politics split up our family,'” Navarro added.
