Would Gravero! experience a massive heat blast after crushing an enemy into a diamond?

My new superhuman, Gravero!, has just entered combat. He's a new superhero with a lot going for him! He's resplendant in his dashing tights, his cape flows in exactly the right direction when he stands proudly with both hands on his hips...

But the first time he crushed a well-armed enemy into a diamond the blast of heat burned him bald! It would have only been embarrasing, but his new girlfriend, Magnifique Courbée, was just burned bald, too! She's not happy. Not happy at all.

Given that Gravero!'s super power is controlled gravity, and that he has the ability to crush anything within a 2-3 meter sphere into a 1-mm sphere(ish) pretty much instantly...

Question: Is it realistic that the action of crushing anything (including opponents) would release a massive burst of heat that would affect things within at least a 10 meter radius?
