Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs loses $100m default judgment over sexual assault allegations

The hip-hop mogul failed to respond to lawsuit against him over alleged sexual assault in Detroit in 1997

A man who accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually assaulting him has won a $100m judgment after the rapper, music producer and businessman failed to contest the allegations in a civil courthouse in Michigan.

Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, 51, secured the remarkably large judgment after filing a lawsuit that described how he encountered Combs while working in the restaurant and hospitality industry near Detroit.


According to the Detroit Metro Times, Cardello-Smith alleged that he was both drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs at a party in Detroit in 1997,

just one claim amid a broader pattern of alleged sexual abuse and other misconduct by the three-time Grammy winner once also known as P Diddy, Puff Daddy and Love.

Cardello-Smith, who is incarcerated, eventually sued over the alleged attack and provided information showing Combs’s name in a prison visitation log. And at a preliminary 7 August court hearing conducted virtually, Cardello-Smith testified that Combs offered him $2.3m to drop his lawsuit, which would allow the music mogul to complete a property sale.


The plaintiff testified that Combs, 54, told him he would not acknowledge Cardello-Smith’s claims in court, saying: “You know how we get down.”

Cardello-Smith said he told Combs, “Well, I disagree with how you get down,” and rejected the settlement offer.

Lenawee county circuit court judge Anna Marie Anzalone subsequently issued an order restraining Combs from selling off assets that could help him cover any damages possibly awarded to Cardello-Smith. Then, when Combs failed to appear at a virtual hearing in Cardello-Smith’s lawsuit on Monday, Anzalone awarded the plaintiff a default judgment of $100m, as the Metro Times first reported.

I hope Diddy isn't dumb enough to allow a 100 million default judgment against him.

Probably because the lawyers knew it was over and also they would take a big chuck of the earnings, so might as well go out like Nino Brown
