Sean 'Diddy' Combs Challenges $100M Default Judgment in Sexual Assault Case

Combs' lawyers argue the judgment is invalid due to lack of proper service and expired statute of limitations.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs has filed emergency motions to vacate a $100 million default judgment awarded to inmate Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith.
Cardello-Smith, who is serving time for kidnapping and sexual assault, alleges Combs assaulted him at a Detroit party in 1997.
Combs' legal team claims he was never served with the lawsuit and only learned of the judgment through media reports.
Combs' attorneys argue that Cardello-Smith's allegations are fabricated and that the statute of limitations expired in 2007.
Combs faces multiple other lawsuits, including a recent sexual assault claim by former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard.
