Sean “Diddy” Combs has apologized for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie as shown in a viral video.
The video aired by CNN on Friday night, Combs was seen wearing only a white towel, punching and kicking Cassie who was his protege and longtime girlfriend at the time
Diddy in the apology video said, “ It is so difficult to reflect on the darkest times of my life but sometimes you gotta do, I was fucked up, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses.
“My behaviour in that video is inexcusable, I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, it is disgusting.
“I was disgusted when I did it and I am still disgusted now and that’s why sought professional help, I went for therapy.”
Diddy further stated that he is not seeking for forgiveness, rather he is only wants mercies and favour from God for his actions.
Cassie had alleged in a federal lawsuit in November that Combs raped and physically abused her, including punching, beating, kicking and stomping her over the course of their relationship. The lawsuit was settled the day after it was filed.
In the suit, Cassie alleged Combs lured her into the relationship from the time they began working together while she was a rising artist at Combs’ label. She said in the suit that the abuse lasted more than a decade and accused Combs of controlling all aspects of her life.
Combs has denied all the allegations and has vowed to clear his name.
He has settled the suit with Cassie, but the other suits are pending.
