Sean “Diddy” Combs is fighting back in court after the embattled rap mogul was ordered to pay $100 million to an alleged victim of sexual assault.
Combs, who is the subject of numerous sexual assault and related lawsuits, filed two emergency motions relating to the multimillion-dollar judgment in Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith’s case against him Thursday, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY.
Cardello-Smith, a convict serving up to 75 years for 2008 and 2019 first-degree criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping charges, filed the civil suit against Diddy in June. He was granted the award, a default civil suit judgment, at a hearing on Monday in a Lenawee County Circuit Court in Michigan.
