Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Ordered to Pay $100 Million in Sexual Assault Judgment
In the latest legal setback for Sean 'Diddy' Combs, a Michigan inmate has won a $100 million sexual-assault judgment after Combs skipped a hearing.
In the latest legal setback for Sean “Diddy” Combs, a Michigan inmate has won a $100 million default sexual-assault judgment against the embattled producer and entrepreneur, who has been slammed with multiple sexual-misconduct allegations over the past year. According to Detroit’s Metro Times and court documents, the award was issued Monday by a Lenawee County Circuit Court Judge following a temporary restraining order against Combs granted to Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, 51, who it describes as “Michigan inmate known for his long history of challenging the judicial system with civil lawsuits.” The lawsuit claims that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted Cardello-Smith in 1997 at a party in Detroit; the judge set out a payment schedule of $10 million per month, starting October 1. While Combs has denied most of the multiple sexual-misconduct allegations leveled against him, in June he admitted to assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura after video footage leaked of a 2016 incident in a hotel.
