Sean “Diddy” Combs and his legal team are blaming the feds for leaking the video of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
According to reports, Diddy’s attorneys said that the Department of Homeland Security was responsible for leaking the footage and not the U.S. Attorney’s Office. We reported that a video of Diddy physically assaulting Cassie had been released. The assault took place at a hotel in Los Angeles on March 5, 2016.
Shortly after the video was released, Diddy issued an apology on his Instagram which has since been deleted. In the video, he said that he had “hit rock bottom” and called his behavior “inexcusable.”
He said, “I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it, I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help and I had to go into therapy. We’re going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry, but I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
Diddy’s lawyers are also asking for an evidentiary hearing to address the issue. What are your thoughts on this?
