Sean Love Combs (born November 4, 1969), also known as P Diddy or simply just Diddy is currently facing backlash after videos resurfaced of him beating, dragging, and sexually abusing his ex Cassandra Ventura popularly known as Cassie in a hotel in 2016.
The American rapper and Cassie had a long-term relationship from 2007 to 2018, the relationship was supposedly on and off as the couple would always break up after big internet fights and scandals arose, and then less than a few weeks later they would get back together and pretend it never happened, well till 2018 when they called things off for good.

In 2023, Cassie came up to formally file a public lawsuit against P Diddy, accusing him of rape, abuse, and human trafficking, which he denied and took to Instagram calling her a liar and all sorts. He also threatened further legal actions as he claimed all she wanted was to ruin his reputation.
Recently, footage obtained and released by CNN has been spread on social media of Cassie being beaten, dragged, kicked, and hurled down a hallway by P Diddy. This image is dated back to 2016, proving Cassie’s lawsuit right and backing up her accusations.

The footage contained a video of P Diddy walking up to the hallway in Los Angeles’ now-closed InterContinental Hotel Century City in nothing but a towel to stop Cassandra from leaving, she was with a few bags/ luggage doing what we assume to be leaving him, probably because of the abuse and torture she was going through at the time. P Diddy then proceeds to drag her back and beat her repeatedly, kicking her in the stomach and then dragging her back to their room.
P Diddy’s Response to the Backlash

P Diddy has taken to his Instagram page once again a video formally apologizing for his actions towards Cassie. The rapper claimed he hit “rock bottom” during the 2016 incident where he threw Cassie to the ground and repeatedly kicked her.
“I make no excuses. My behavior in that video is inexcusable”
“I was disgusted then when I did it, I’m disgusted now. I went and sought professional help, and had to go to therapy and rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. I’m committed to being a better man every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
Several Instagrammers have responded to him in the comment section, some calling him out and others saying they understand where he is coming from and that everyone goes through hard times.
Some of the comments include

“The man is posting an apology and here come people to tear that down we’re not
GOD so let’s not judge if half the stuff some of y’all did was put out to the world on video then some would be quiet. She stayed with him years after the video so she must have forgiven him and here y’all are in these people’s business. I genuinely pray for all involved and hopefully, people will get back to their life issues and stop focusing on others so heavily. Whoever leaked the video’s intentions was not good it was malicious.
Let’s all heal and move on in 2024”

“He is only sorry he got caught. He denied this in the beginning so his words are worthless”
@iamchanelleb
“Not judging, just wondering…why wasn’t this apology posted after Cassie came forward…instead of after the video was exposed. Only God will judge and Only God can forgive…..hopefully you truly apologized to Cassie sooner than this… this video is just a little too late for your audience bruh”

Cassie’s new partner, Alex Fine took his thoughts on the matter to social media, posting this letter to his Instagram page and said
“Letter to women and children
Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable, check your brothers, your friends, and your family. Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved. Hold the women in your life with the utmost regard. Men who hurt women hate women.”
“To all the survivors, find the men and women who help and love. To all the survivors, your stories are real, and people believe you. To all the survivors you’re not alone, and some men and women care only for your well-being and safety. We want you to succeed and flourish. To all the women and children, I’m sorry you live in a world where you’re not protected, and you don’t feel equal. I want to raise my daughters in a world where they are safe and loved.”
He also added “To the abusers, you’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore, the men by your side are just as weak, you’re so miserable with yourself that dh would be considered a kindness”
This post was liked by Ariana Grande and several others in solidarity with Cassie. The public on social media have majorly sided Cassie, giving her accolade for her bravely to face the situation as well as come out and seek justice for herself and others who have been in this and similar situations.
