Sean “Diddy” Combs issued a public apology Sunday morning after hotel security footage from 2016 appeared to show him assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura , who filed a lawsuit against the rapper in November for rapes and assaults she allegedly suffered while they were together. That apology holds no weight, according to Ventura’s lawyer, who issued her own sternly worded statement to say that P. Diddy’s words are more about himself.
P. Diddy, who has gone by several different names over the years, responded to a 2016 video from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles that appears to show him throwing down then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, kicking her, dragging her and later throwing something at her. In a video posted to Instagram , Diddy said: It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times of your life, but sometimes you gotta do that.
I was fucked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses.
My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted.
I was disgusted then when I did it, I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I had to go to therapy, been going to rehab.
Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day.
I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry. This was the first time in months that Diddy has addressed any of the accusations, as there are now multiple lawsuits against him alleging ass.
