“I am not questioning her integrity. I am just questioning her claims against me,” Sherman said. “You got the wrong man. I wasn’t even in the same room with you. I have never seen you. I wasn’t even in New York that I recall at the time.”
Sherman even claims that Graves reached out to him and asked him to be a witness for her against Diddy.
“Her and whoever she’s in cahoots with was orchestrating a money grab. And she wanted me to be part of that money grab…She wanted to get Diddy,” he continued.
Diddy is accused of using his “power and prestige” for “sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, drug offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”
