The video of Sean “Diddy” Combs abusing Cassie Ventura horrified the world — including celebrities. Many have publicly shared their reactions to the disturbing surveillance footage, which showed him dragging and assaulting Ventura in 2016. After the graphic footage made its rounds on social media, Diddy shared an Instagram video to address the matter.
“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life. Sometimes you gotta do that,” he began, before adding, “I was f**ked up. I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”
The rapper added that he was “disgusted” with himself — at the time when the incident happened and now that he’s watched the video.
“I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,” he went on. “I was disgusted then when I did it, I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, going to therapy, going to rehab. I 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.”
Ventura’s lawyer responded to Diddy’s public statement in a statement obtained by News47.us.
“Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” attorney Meredith Firetog said in a statement. “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday,” she said. “That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
