Sean “P. Diddy” Combs was ordered to pay $100 million in a sexual assault judgment after failing to appear in court.
The case involves a Michigan inmate, Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, who alleges that Combs drugged and assaulted him in 1997.
The judgment comes after Cardello-Smith obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent Combs from selling assets. Combs’ legal team refuted the claims, saying he was never served and plans to have the judgment dismissed.
In April 2024, Diddy’s son Christian ‘King’ Combs was accused of sexually assaulting a woman.
According to a recent lawsuit, the alleged incident would have occurred back in 2022, aboard a chartered yacht.
Grace O’Marcaigh, a woman who was hired to work on the boat, claims the young rapper assaulted her during an ‘family excursion’ that ‘turned into a hedonistic environment’ the suit said.
“The son of Diddy and the late Kim Porter allegedly pressured her to do tequila shots and aggressively insisted that she drink more, claiming that she believes her drinks had also been ‘spiked’,” Page Six reported.
“She claims that even some of the alcoholic beverages were suspected to be laced with drugs given how some of the women on the boat allegedly responded to the booze,” the outlet continued.
“Excuse me, you don’t touch my legs like that. I’ll move my legs where I want to,” a woman who appears to be O’Marcaigh can reportedly be heard saying in audio recording. “If I want to do this, then I will. You don’t touch my legs like that.”
Attorney Aaron Dyer, who represents both King and Diddy, called the suit “manufactured lies and irrelevant facts.”
“This is exactly why the federal judge in New York slapped him two days ago for a ‘pattern of behavior’ in ‘improperly [filing] cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly,’ and why he was referred to the disciplinary committee in the Southern District of New York. We will be filing a motion to dismiss this outrageous claim,” Dyer said.
