Music mogul Sean Diddy Combs, also known as Diddy, is behind bars for many crimes including sexual assault and trafficking. Recently a new report has emerged of a new lawsuit against the disgraced rapper, revealing a former inmate has claimed he was sexually assaulted by Diddy way back in 1997. InTouch Weekly has accessed records of Diddy’s response to these allegations to the court.
According to the reports, a man named Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith had filed a lawsuit against Diddy, claiming the rapper had sexually assaulted him at one of his sex parties in 1997. Derrick said that he worked as a bartender in Detroit when he met Diddy, who invited him to a sex party at a hotel. He further claims the rapper gave him something to drink and added a little something to it, after which he fell asleep when he woke up, he saw Diddy having sex with a woman next to him, and the rapper told him, “I did this you too.”
He further claimed Diddy conspired with the US government to cover up his crimes. Derrick is seeking $400 million in damages from Diddy in the lawsuit.
Diddy’s reaction to the lawsuit
Diddy denies the allegation as per the documents obtained by the court from InTouch show. However, court documents obtained by InTouch show that Diddy denies the allegations. According to the 54-year-old and his legal team, Derrick is a serial pro se litigant, meaning he often brings legal action. Diddy calls the accusations made against him “ludicrous.” “Remarkably, [Derrick] claims in two separate complaints filed in two different courts that this alleged assault took place in two different counties on the same day,” Diddy’s lawyer claimed. Additionally, Diddy’s legal team contends that the complaint is “frivolous” because the statute of limitations for the alleged offence ended in 2000.
Diddy is incarcerated at the moment. On September 16, he was taken into custody on allegations of racketeering and sex trafficking. The rapper entered a not-guilty plea. Next year, his trial is scheduled to start.
