An attempt from Sean "Diddy" Combs to appeal a court ordered $19,000-per-month child support payment to ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim was shut down Tuesday by the state’s highest court.
In 2005, the founder of Bad Boy Entertainment was ordered by the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division to pay the amount after Combs appealed a Westchester Family Court ruling that he should pay $35,000 a month.
Hylton-Brim had originally sued to collect higher payments and about $398,000 in back support for their 12-year-old son Justin. The appellate court judge awarded a lower, undisclosed amount in back support and ordered Combs to pay Hylton-Brim's legal fees.
The judge initially set monthly support payments at $21,782, but later reduced the amount.
"We're pleased the original order was reduced but we thought there were issues applicable for the Court of Appeals to entertain," said Combs' attorney, Stephen Gassman.
Diddy, 36, also pays child support to model Kim Porter for their son, Christian.
