Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been ordered to pay $100 million to Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, a Michigan inmate who sued him for sexual assault. Combs failed to appear in court, leading to a default judgment. This is one of several sexual assault allegations against the rapper. Combs' attorney plans to have the judgment dismissed, calling it 'a fraud on the court' and claiming that the rapper has never heard of Cardello-Smith or been served with any lawsuit. Cardello-Smith alleges that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted him at a Detroit-area party in 1997. Combs has denied all sexual assault allegations and has not been charged with any crimes.
