Diddy Acknowledges Violence Against Cassie
As Diddy confronts federal accusations regarding his abusive behavior towards Cassie and others, a particular incident came to light in 2024. In May of that year, CNN released previously unseen surveillance footage showing Diddy violently assaulting Cassie in a hotel corridor. This footage dated back to 2016 and depicted Cassie trying to use the elevator when Diddy chased her down the hall while wrapped only in a towel, subsequently striking her multiple times.
This incriminating video prompted Diddy to admit that he had physically harmed his former girlfriend, despite prior attempts to deny such claims. He expressed on his social media, “I take complete responsibility for my actions in that clip. I was appalled then, and I am appalled now,” as reported by AP News. He added, “Reflecting on the darkest moments of your life is tough, yet sometimes it’s necessary.” Diddy went on to share that he’s sought therapy and rehabilitation. “I had to plead with God for mercy and grace,” he stated, conveying, “I sincerely apologize. I am committed to becoming a better man each day and I’m not asking for forgiveness, just genuinely sorry.”
