Should I say 'created' or 'did,' 'discredit' or 'embarrass'?

Should I say 'created' or 'did,' 'discredit' or 'embarrass'?


Yesterday Joe's ex-girlfriends (created, did) graffiti to (discredit, embarrass) him.

Since graffiti is usually 'drawn', it would seem closer to 'created'. A girlfriend's motivation would more likely be to 'embarrass' than to 'discredit', without any further background information (context).
