Diddy's Supreme Diss
When it comes to easing his paternity problems, Sean Combs is getting diddly from the courts.
The New York Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear an appeal brought by the hip-hop impresario otherwise known as Diddy that hoped to overturn a lower court ruling ordering him to pony up more than $19,000 a month in child support.
Combs' ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim won a family court decision in Westchester County in October 2004 forcing the rapper-entrepreneur to fork over $35,000 a month to care for their 12-year-old son, Justin. The fashion stylist had sought to up the original $2,795 Combs was originally ordered to pay in 1996; she also wanted to collect nearly $400,000 in back support.
The entertainer balked--saying the $35,000 monthly amount was the highest court-mandated child-support payment in U.S. history--and appealed. An appellate judge initially dropped the monthly payments to $21,782 and then reduced it further to $19,000. By declining the appeal, Diddy is now on the hook to start cranking out the checks.
Combs' attorney, Stephen Gassman, was unavailable for immediate comment. However, he told the Associated Press that his client wasn't a deadbeat and was on firm legal ground to appeal the case all the way to the state supreme court.
This isn't the first time the Bad Boy Entertainment overlord has been taken to the cleaners over child support.
A few years back, he was the target of a paternity claim brought by ex-girlfriend Kim Porter, who sued the rap star to have him formally declared the father of then six-year-old Christian Casey Combs.
Combs eventually settled that suit and was granted joint custody. Although the financial terms of the settlement were kept under wraps, Porter's lawyer indicated that Combs would be coughing up well over the $11,000 a month in child support until Christian turned 21.
