Trigger warning: DV, SA
Last Friday, CNN exclusively aired a 2016 video of Sean Combs repeatedly assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Cassie had escaped their hotel room and Combs ran after her, wearing nothing but a towel. He punched her and kicked her and tried to drag her across the floor. According to Cassie’s lawsuit, which she filed last fall, this was just one incident out of hundreds, if not thousands. Combs regularly abused her, raped her and trafficked her to other men. When Cassie filed her lawsuit, Combs’ immediate reaction was to issue a blanket denial, saying outright that Cassie was trying to “assassinate my character” and that he did not do anything Cassie alleged, and she was “looking for a quick payday.” Now that the hotel video has become public, this is what Combs is saying:

The darkest times in HIS life? HE hit rock bottom? Cassie’s lawyer quickly issued a statement:
“Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” Meredith Firetog, a partner at Wigdor LLP, said in a Sunday, May 19, statement to Us Weekly. “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. 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.”
Most people are not swayed, although there are plenty of men who are like “why are you still mad, he apologized.” Thankfully, there seem to be a lot of men who finally “believe women,” but only now that they’ve been presented with a video of Combs beating Cassie.
Cassie’s physical wounds may have healed, but the mental & emotional trauma suffered at the hands of Sean Combs left irreparable damage. She lived through his abuse, & was ridiculed once she built the courage to speak up! I can’t imagine the torment & torture she’s endured.… pic.twitter.com/qka4fEqQdO

Here’s a reminder of Sean Combs’ statement denying ALL the abuse.
The video leaked, a video he bought in order to bury the evidence AND he made this statement all the same. He thinks he can manipulate the public by saying he is sorry ✅ he was in a dark place ✅ he’s been in… pic.twitter.com/ml538gcnWa

I am guessing he is gonna find the God and act like he is as innocent as a baby now.
When he changed his name to Love, he was when allegedly found God. He’s known this was coming for a long time.
He can get tips from Russell Brand 🤮
Brand believes a fresh baptism has now “saved” him. SHDH. Get ready for a giant pool party for these degenerates suddenly finding salvation this way!!
Funnny you’ve said that. Someone posted some alleged words from some guy named Dr. Umar (??) (don’t know who he is but sounds like a horrible person), saying that TD Jakes will allegedly help Diddy who will convert to Christianity and start a church, and make millions from it.
He’s such a piece of crap. Lower than crap. Talking about the darkest day of his life. What about the darkest decade of Cassie’s life and Kim’s and the countless of other women and men he abused.
This is strictly a performative apology, made because he was caught in a lie by denying all the accusations. Suddenly, he’s remorseful. And it wouldn’t qualify as an apology in any case, since he doesn’t direct it to the person he harmed, Cassie. He never even bothers to say her name.
Well, perhaps there are too many to name, you know? Anyway, I think it’s useful that someone re-released his earlier statement from when the allegations and lawsuits first came out. To me, he sounded just as emphatic and sincere as the weekend’s apology. It’s really remarkable.
How convenient what a load of s$%@t
So is he apologising for all of the abuse
from all of the other times NO
Is he trying to put the message out, that this was the only occasion YES
What about all the other times he abused her and other people? Cassie had her head half shaved bc he spit gum in her hair bc he was jealous.
I had to click off this video when he started talking about being disgusted with himself. He’s not sorry, he’s sorry people saw the video.
To qoute Take A Bow by Rihanna:
🎶 Just cut it out —
Don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught 🎶
Online speculation is that the background of his video makes it look like Diddy has relocated to a country with no US extradition agreement, like Russell Simmons who was served in Bali.
He was just in Miami walking about TMZ had the pictures so it could be that he is there in Florida.
So he felt the heat getting really hot and decided to make a false apology. After everything he said about her way back about the truth would come and she is just looking for a payout. Well the truth came out in the form of a horrific video. So there is the truth.
Combs is a worthless piece of 💩. I pray that evil abuser rots in jail. He should feel and know the pain and misery he’s inflicted on all his victims.
Forgive me CBers.
FU@# YOU DIDDY!
I hope he rots. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Monster.
Of course it’s all about him.
Straight from Narcissistic abuser textbooks: if caught it was because you were in so much pain. I hope more women come out.
From a legal standpoint, isn’t this Bad advice from his camp to admit guilt? Even if the statute of limitations has run out, doesn’t it give probable cause for continued investigation? Can it be used in court against other possible accusations?
I mean the evidence is all over that tape. He is going to look completely remorseless if he doesn’t say anything.
He is following the formula about how this isn’t the real him or some sh*t in hopes it will get him out of trouble. Problem is, this is the real him. His reaction to the allegations said plenty.
He is not sorry, he denied the allegations and called her a liar and a money grabbing h*e basically. He did not even mention we her name! “I’m sorry” he should be apologizing to her but he doesn’t. He is a terrible human being and needs to be in jail. This “apology” is performative…. And I hope they clean him out then and only then he goes to jail.
So glad the majority of clear thinking people and bs deniers are calling this nonsense out and are noting the fact that that he never even mentions Cassie’s name in this non apology. I was watching Tisa Tells live Saturday night and she had stated that he would do this on Saturday night or Sunday morning, and he did. Unfortunately, there are still some Diddum apologists accepting this non apology (I’m keeping this autocorrect). How do you accept an apology for someone else? The nerve! People are also noting who is still standing by/up for him and are rightfully calling them out. The apologists are defending someone who is on video viciously beating his then gf and is still being investigated by Homeland Security, who have removed dozens of boxes from this monster’s homes! If I was a celebrity, I wouldn’t even say hi to him, in case like Sauron, the eye of Homeland Security turned its gaze my way. Unbelievable and disappointing! But these idiotic actions of support show who I should and shouldn’t/will no longer be supporting. So thanks for that. Still, I do believe his career/reign of terror is over and hope more victims feel safe enough to come forward if they want to.
If “I’m sorry I got caught” was a person…..
LOCK HIM UP.
YES!! Lock up this piece of human garbage!!
I won’t watch the video of his heinous actions; I did watch his non-apology and he is an obvious chapter in bad PR….”rock bottom” “rehab”… no, Sean, you are a bad person who has power and thinks you will be forever immune to consequences.
Sooo many of these celebrities that we gossip about on this site are the worst at being human.
Except for Messi, the best boi movie star!
It does feel like the number of rubbish people is growing exponentially, or maybe they are just getting caught more quickly. 2024 is getting worse and worse.
Whichever, let’s salute the world’s amazing pets!
I’m all for our pets to reign supreme!!!
Diddy: “I hit rock bottom.”
No, you hit a woman, and no one believes you’re at all remorseful.
🎯
Couldn’t even make it through this video, it’s nauseating. One of the most heartbreaking moments of the abuse video to me was how she just went limp when she hit the ground. It’s possible she was unconscious, but to me more likely that this wasn’t anywhere near the first time and going limp was a defence mechanism to minimize what came next. This POS is a blatant serial abuser who should be incarcerated.
I didn’t know about Russell Simmons so I had to go look it up. I was following him on Facebook! No longer, but looking at his posts he paints himself to be an angel and family man.
I am fed up with mens shit.
I am fed up with the abusers that get away with abusing. Lock this abusive p*do trafficking piece of trash
It’s sickening. I’ve been in an abusive relationship and it’s the worst when you’re just trying to get away, not argue, not antagonize, not escalate and the abusive person is on such a power trip that they have to completely control you. He should be locked away.
I can’t believe he has children. Imagine seeing the way your father treated a woman, in public! Wow.
His son Justin was named in the lawsuit cited sex trafficking, and his other son Christian is accused of sexually assaulting and drugging a woman in a recent lawsuit. Hopefully the other sons are better but it seems unlikely having grown up in that kind of environment where your father is practically a king and can do anything he wants and gets away with it. So far, there are no news about the daughters.
Fuck off, Diddy. I hope you lose everything. You are disgusting.
When people ask, “Why didn’t she just leave?” this is why. She tried to. He stopped her. That beating looked very practiced. He didn’t even check to see if she was all right.
Now, he’s apologizing to the general public, not to her or the other victims. It’s bizarre.
I’ve had bad days. I didn’t kick or hit anyone.
In all honesty. I would really like to know who Robert K, Bill C, and Sean pissed off for these stories that we’ve known for years, to come out now. Saying this DOESNT DISMISS what happened, but WHY NOW?? Why not at the hight of their careers?
Why aren’t ALL the enablers being prosecuted? Like the (staff off the) hotel who sold the Cassie footage to Sean. Selling evidence of a crime is legal??
Is it true Bill has oil on his land, land he refused to sell? Or is it true that an oil company wants access to his land?
Was Sean involved in a legal battle with diageo, before these stories began to surface?
R. Kelly, 31 years prison time, repeat offender. Why didn’t he go to jail after the Aaliyah thing, or after her dead? They waited all these years for the money to run dry, so he had to sell his music catalog to pay off debts? Fine, but why now?
These background stories really fascinate me
