Sean "Diddy" Combs has come forward to admit to a violent incident that occurred in 2016 with his ex-girlfriend Cassie. After CNN released a video of the attack, Diddy released a sincere apology on Instagram and Facebook, taking full responsibility for his actions and expressing his deep regret.
In the video statement, Diddy, a well-known music mogul, expressed his disgust and shame at his past behavior. He acknowledged that he was wrong and stated that he has sought professional help and therapy to address his actions. He also asked for forgiveness, emphasizing that he is committed to becoming a better man each day.
The footage released by CNN shows Diddy, dressed in only a towel, physically assaulting Cassie, who was not only his girlfriend but also his protege in the R&B industry. Along with punching and kicking her, the video also captures Diddy shoving and dragging Cassie, and even throwing a vase in her direction. The incident took place in a hotel hallway, and the video closely resembles the description of an incident at an InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, as stated in Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy.
After the incident, Cassie, whose real name is Cassandra Ventura, filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Although the suit was settled the next day, it sparked a series of legal actions against Diddy, including a federal criminal sex-trafficking investigation that led to raids on his mansions.
Diddy had previously denied the allegations made in the lawsuits, but he had not addressed the newly emerged video until now. In his video statement, Diddy explained that it was difficult for him to reflect on the darkest times in his life, but he felt it was necessary. He also reiterated his disgust at his own actions and expressed his commitment to seeking help and becoming a better man.
In the apology video, Diddy appeared somber and was dressed in a T-shirt. He also mentioned seeking professional help and therapy, as well as asking for God's mercy and grace. The security camera footage, which was dated March 5, 2016, aligned with the date and location mentioned in Cassie's lawsuit. The suit also alleged that Diddy paid the hotel $50,000 for the security video immediately after the incident, a claim that has not been addressed by Diddy or his representatives.
CNN did not disclose how they obtained the footage, but it serves as a reminder that support is available for anyone who has experienced sexual assault or domestic violence. The National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service is just one of the many resources available for those in need.
