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.
Nice victim shaming attempt, when his own record since his alleged Combs assault plays no part in this (his first offense was 1998 - which is a year after the alleged assault). An assault like this can mess people up, although that doesn’t excuse his wrongs, but they may help explain his mindset.
You also left out 2 of the more key parts of your cherry picking -
A judges don’t usually hand out restraining orders like candy on Halloween, and I assume when the person asking is currently incarcerated even less so?
So Combs went to the jail himself to talk with this guy instead of sending a lawyer on his behalf, interesting that.
