Sean Diddy takes full responsibility for his “inexcusable” actions!
The rapper’s ex-girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, had filed an assault lawsuit against him, which was recently supported by evidence. The rapper has addressed the issue for the first time since CNN News shared the CCTV footage that captured the assault.
Sean Diddy admits to physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend after CCTV footage goes viral
On Sunday, May 19, the I’ll Be Missing You rapper posted an apology video on Instagram and Facebook. “I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” he said.
CNN broadcasted the video on Friday, May 17, where Diddy was seen wearing a white towel around his waist and aggressively rushing toward Ventura. According to reports, the rapper was drunk and allegedly assaulted his girlfriend in the hotel room.
She tried to flee the scene against a drunk and asleep Diddy, but unfortunately, he woke up by the time she reached the elevator, threw her on the ground, kicked her, and dragged her across the lobby.
The intensely abusive altercation captured the rapper’s face clear as day. As a result, Diddy was compelled to admit to his actions that he allegedly denied earlier.
Ventura’s lawsuit against Diddy and further actions
Ventura sued the rapper on the charges of years of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse back in November. The lawsuit garnered scrutiny against the rapper, and investigations related to an alleged sex trafficking racket further tarnished his image.
However, Diddy denied the allegations in the lawsuit, and due to a lack of evidence at the time, he was not detained. At the time, the rapper claimed to be cooperative with the authorities and called the investigation a “witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”
On May 17, Ventura’s lawyer released a statement that said, “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr Combs.”
The footage brought the case to light and backed the 2016 incident with evidence that could cause problems for the rap mogul. Diddy’s lawyers are yet to comment on the matter.
