Rapper DMX has been ordered to pay-out $1.5 million - for claiming the mother of his child RAPED him. DMX told Sister 2 Sister magazine that Monique Wayne was only regnant with his child because she sexually assaulted him during a one night stand in 2003.
Wayne claimed DMX's statement was a lie and sued him. Prince George's County Circuit Court in Maryland heard evidence from Monique, her sister and her psychiatrist. DMX never showed.
Judge Thomas Smith ordered DMX - real name Earl Simmons - to pay Wayne $518,400 in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive penalties.
Monique insisted her motivation was not financial. "It's not so much the price, it's the point I wanted to get across," she said. "Let him think about what he's going to say before he says it."
A lawyer for DMX did not return calls seeking comment.
Wayne said she'd try to reach out to DMX about raising their love child, but didn't count on receiving much support from Simmons. "I'm a single parent, as far as I'm concerned," Wayne said.
