Sean “Diddy” Combs has broken his silence after a video surfaced online last Friday, May 17, showing him punching and kicking his former girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, in a hotel hallway in 2016.
The footage obtained by CNN shows the music mogul chasing Ms. Ventura down the hallway in a towel before attacking her near the elevators. He then attempts to drag her back down the corridor.
The incident allegedly took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. Watch the video here.
The video sparked widespread outrage online, with many criticizing Diddy for his actions.
Reacting to the backlash today, 19th May, Diddy shared a video on his Instagram page, apologizing for his behavior.
In the video, Diddy expressed that he is truly sorry for his actions, though he acknowledged they are inexcusable.
He said,
‘’It is so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life. Sometimes you got to do that. I was fucked up. I hit rock bottom. I make no excuses. My behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. Disgusted! I was disgusted then when I did it and I am disgusted now. I went out and I sought professional help. I had to go into therapy, into rehab, had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I am so sorry. I am committed to being a better man each and everyday. I am not asking for forgiveness. I am truly sorry”
