Sean Diddy Combs has posted a one minute, thirty second video apologizing for the video released by CNN two days ago.
In the video, Combs is seen viciously attacking his girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a Los Angeles hotel. The video is so frightening that the LA DA’s office had to comment on it, saying it was too old — from 2016– for them to do anything.
Now Combs says in the posting that he’s truly sorry, was “A different man,” went to therapy.
He says, “I was fucked up. I hit rock bottom My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for the actions on that video. I went to therapy, I went to rehab. I’m so sorry. I’m committed to being a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
Ventura obviously didn’t believe him. Last year she sued him for years of torture and he settled quickly.
Diddy is in a financial free fall because of accusations and lawsuit from many others. His empire has fallen apart. The CNN video is the last straw, so this apology — which is lame by any standards — could be his final undoing. The rapper turned entrepreneur has a history of violence including a famous shootout in a NYC nightclub that involved singer Jennifer Lopez. He was acquitted at a trial but one of his underlings took the rap and went to jail.
