Sean “Diddy” Combs issued an apology on Instagram for a recently surfaced 2016 video showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. “Reflecting on the darkest times is difficult, but necessary,” Diddy wrote. “My behavior in that video is inexcusable.”
The disturbing video, released by CNN, shows Combs attacking Ventura. Combs acknowledged his actions, stating he sought professional help and is committed to becoming a better person.
Cassie's attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, criticized Combs' apology as insincere, highlighting his previous denials. Despite the shocking footage, the Los Angeles DA confirmed the assault is beyond the prosecutable timeline.
Combs and Ventura, who were together for over a decade, settled a lawsuit last year involving allegations of repeated abuse. Combs faces additional lawsuits this year for similar allegations, which he denies.
