Rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has finally spoken out after a shocking video surfaced, showing him violently assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in 2016. On Sunday, the 54-year-old entrepreneur took to Instagram to express remorse and apologize for his actions.
In a heartfelt video message, Diddy acknowledged his wrongdoing, stating, “I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions; I’m disgusted by what I did.” He revealed that he has sought professional help, undergone therapy and rehab, and sought divine mercy and grace.
Diddy emphasized his commitment to personal growth, saying, “I’m committed to being a better man every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness; I’m truly sorry.” The disturbing footage, obtained by CNN, shows Diddy physically attacking Cassie at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City in 2016.
Cassie had previously alleged in a now-settled lawsuit that Diddy paid the hotel $50,000 to conceal the footage. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many praising Cassie for her courage in speaking out against domestic violence.
Diddy’s apology marks a significant step towards accountability and healing. His commitment to personal growth and seeking help sends a positive message, and his apology is a crucial step towards redemption. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of speaking out against domestic violence and supporting survivors.
