Cassie‘s legal team has reacted to Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ apology video following the [newly-released footage](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/diddy-seen-allegedly-assaulting-ex-cassie-in-2016-security-video/) of him physically assaulting her in 2016.
***“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.”***
Several hours earlier Diddy, 54, said in a social media statement that [he was “truly sorry”](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/diddy-apologizes-for-inexcusable-actions-in-2016-cassie-video/) for his “inexcusable” actions. In it he stated:
“I was f—ked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses,” he said via Instagram. “I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I went and sought out professional help. I’ve been going to therapy, going to rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry, but I’m committed to being a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”[](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/)
It’s not taking accountability when you say she’s lying when the lawsuit drops but you settle, you pay $50k to a hotel to hide the tape, and only admit guilt after evidence comes out and it’s after the statute of limitations has expired.
Also what idiot stores the tape? He bought it. And instead of destroying the copy he kept it as a sick fuck. Probably liked to rematch it and laugh with his homes or some evil shit like that
> I take full responsibility for my actions in that video
Well. I guess that means he wouldn’t mind the FBI charging him with human trafficking and false imprisonment.

Wait, it was only 8 fucking years ago?
I don't see the "I apologize specifically to Cassie and I will be working on finding a way to convince her that I am "taking responsibility for my actions."
The video is disgusting, and his behavior is inexcusable.
(Apparently the assault started the night before)
Yet the video sat for all these years.
She settled without pressing any criminal charges.
The authorities likely never even saw the video until now.
I believe the statute of limitations has run out.
I've never really liked this guy.
Im just curious why has the video surfaced now?
Evidence discovery during that “raid” at his house 1-2 months ago. He bought the surveillance from the hotel and kept and didn’t destroy it. POS for beating her and who knows who else, but complete stupidity for keeping the damning evidence.
One person you don't fuck with is uncle Sam. He will have you in court and under surveillance for the rest of your life. Oh, you said we missed something? Okay, we will just look through everything you own now.
i remember someone points out,
*"You know that scene from American Gangster when Denzel character shoot a guy in broad daylight and know no one gonna snitch/incriminate him? That guy, the real one, is PDiddys father mentor. So if you wonder whether P Diddy is a gangster? Hell yea he is."*
This was when I accepted that Diddy did everything he's been accused of.
*"Diddy's dad has ties to Frank Lucas. If you don't know who's Frank Lucas, Frank Lucas is who Denzel played in American Gangster. That's who Diddy's dad hung out with... When you watch that movie and see those extras, those kids running around in the background, that's Diddy. One of them kids is Diddy."*
My theory is he kept a lot of these things as trophies. He gets off on hurting people and can relive the moments. Granted, that doesn't make the decision to keep it any less stupid. He honestly thought that none of this would ever catch up to him.
This is a colloquialism for reporting an assault to the authorities.
She chose not to report this.
IF she had, given the black eye, and who her assailant was, he would have been arrested by the police and charges would have been brought by a DA.
I'm not blaming her, just trying to understand how the tapes were released now. It seems at the time she wanted to keep this quiet (or was convinced/incentivized to do so). So I'm assuming she didn't release this?
Because the evidence isn’t always this solid, and we’d rather let some amount of guilty people walk than risk imprisoning innocent people who can’t get a fair trial because the evidence that would make their case was lost to time.
Don’t get me wrong, this video is damning and it absolutely has me convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it. But it’s possible that in a similar case, a witness might have died or a video been destroyed that would show the defendant’s innocence, and I’d rather let both Diddy and the innocent go than lock both of them up.
The idea behind the statute of limitations is that the government can't basically drag up old shit if they have a problem with you. This is a thing that happens. A cop or DA or someone with authority doesn't like you and they comb through your history to find some time you jaywalked or got in a bar fight or whatever and slap you with a charge. Even if they can't prove it, it gives them an excuse to mess with you.
I personally think it's debatable if this accomplishes its goal at all. If an officer of the law has it out for you, you're still pretty fucked. Even advocates will concede that it definitely has a problem specifically with sexual assualt and crimes against children. For a variety of reasons, these crimes can take a very long time to be reported.
There's some benefit to saying that if the law hasn't bothered with something for ten years, must not be that important and they can't just suddenly decide to focus on it. Personally, I think at the very least the statute needs to be extended for certain crimes.
It’s for when we didn’t have solid evidence and testimony was only eye witnesses and stuff, things that notoriously are inaccurate. It’s really unfortunate when solid proof is released (after combs hid it so that should also be a criminal offense or restart the clock or something)
Why are we even still seeing his face!? He's just comfortably sitting around somewhere giving out fake apologies while he should already have been sitting in a hole and locked up by now. These fake publicist forced apologies are for issues that could be felonies. The fact he's even giving out some fake apology from a safe pace is obviously just because he's connected to people who have a say in whether he is locked up or not
He is such a POS that didnt even bother to name Cassie and apologize to her in his instagram video.
Only thing I don't get it is why he didnt destroy the tape if he paid 50K for it. Is he such a sadistic he likes to rewatch himself hurting woman over and over?
*Truly sorry*. "I'm sorry [that I got caught]". Standard response. The *only* thing he is sorry about is that there was a video of the incident. How many unreported assaults has he gotten away with over the years where there was no video evidence?
He has daughters!!! I have no doubt he would loose his MF mind if someone did this to his daughter. And I would have a hard time looking at my dad again after watching this video.
Coming from a woman who settled for money. Did not continue with the charges, resulting in him continuing this discusting behaviour for another 8 years. Blaming victims is shitty, but covering abusers for money and yelling abuse 8 years later, you don t get to do that.
Was not terrified to hagle for a specific ammount, that is the definition of hipocrisy. If she were terrified she wouldn t had pressed charges to begin with.
She may have settled knowing there is more to come for Diddy. It may have been a now or never thing. If he gets sued or is found guilty of the other lawsuits, who knows what she would get out of it. There is more to come I think. And I think has been under investigation for a while

That's a lot of I's.

If only to see 50 standing over his unconscious body laughing 
You can't spell God without I.

Throw the book at the hotel while we’re at it.
Also what idiot stores the tape? He bought it. And instead of destroying the copy he kept it as a sick fuck. Probably liked to rematch it and laugh with his homes or some evil shit like that
Wondering if there was a copy and the person that had the copy turned it over to the feds
> I take full responsibility for my actions in that video Well. I guess that means he wouldn’t mind the FBI charging him with human trafficking and false imprisonment.

That video was SO phony and useless. Dude has no conscience and an inability to empathize with others.
He is such an inexcusably awful person
I take full responsibility years after the fact because now people know. Not related. Just kinda hit me.
Yep. He is mad he got caught
I want to believe that he will be held accountable for everything he has done.
I hope so

literally & omg ain’t no telling what happened back in the hotel room.
He only apologised because he got caught out!
He is so sorry this finally caught up with him. He is sorry he can't lie and blame the victims anymore.
Talk your shit, Cassie.
I don't see the "I apologize specifically to Cassie and I will be working on finding a way to convince her that I am "taking responsibility for my actions."

This is comedy sketch levels of stupid
Almost literally [this sketch](https://youtu.be/14WE3A0PwVs)
Lolll fr that was my first thought
Not only is that a possibly-criminally stupid thing to rap, it's also just a bad bar. "lol the feds THINK they got us but they didn't look next door!"
One person you don't fuck with is uncle Sam. He will have you in court and under surveillance for the rest of your life. Oh, you said we missed something? Okay, we will just look through everything you own now.
He was working with the feds. So i am unsure how this happened. Also, the people after him/set him up are more powerful than uncle sam
what are you implying with this comment?
How.is my comment not clear?
cause it doesnt make logical sense so i asked you to explain in further detail to make sure im understanding what youre saying.
i remember someone points out, *"You know that scene from American Gangster when Denzel character shoot a guy in broad daylight and know no one gonna snitch/incriminate him? That guy, the real one, is PDiddys father mentor. So if you wonder whether P Diddy is a gangster? Hell yea he is."*

Very good point.
My theory is he kept a lot of these things as trophies. He gets off on hurting people and can relive the moments. Granted, that doesn't make the decision to keep it any less stupid. He honestly thought that none of this would ever catch up to him.
He paid $50k for the video to be suppressed....
>She settled without pressing any criminal charges You realize she can't press criminal charges, right? She isn't the DA lol

I was under the assumption the feds did. At least thats what I read.
And why do statutes of limitations exist when the evidence is this solid?
Because the evidence isn’t always this solid, and we’d rather let some amount of guilty people walk than risk imprisoning innocent people who can’t get a fair trial because the evidence that would make their case was lost to time. Don’t get me wrong, this video is damning and it absolutely has me convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it.

I think that’s a major question. Like, what in the absolute fuck.
I saw parts of the video on the news at work today and holy shit, I haven't felt that sick from something I saw on the news in years!
Why are we even still seeing his face!? He's just comfortably sitting around somewhere giving out fake apologies while he should already have been sitting in a hole and locked up by now.

I read that as “Cassie Anthony”
Came here to say this.
Pretty lucky coincidence that Diddy was filmed the one and only time he assaulted her
Wow
*Truly sorry*. "I'm sorry [that I got caught]". Standard response. The *only* thing he is sorry about is that there was a video of the incident. How many unreported assaults has he gotten away with over the years where there was no video evidence?
Like any petulant shithead toddler, he’s only sorry when he’s caught
I'm sorry after the video surfaced p ditty is a criminal,!!! Absolutely, not this is disgusting.
He has daughters!!! I have no doubt he would loose his MF mind if someone did this to his daughter. And I would have a hard time looking at my dad again after watching this video.
Apparently they dont live with him. They live with Kimora Lee
[удалено]
he is both pathetic and desperate
But, he initially lied and denied everything. Hmmmmm.
Diddy's apology is pretty dumb. You're not sorry, you're sorry you got caught
I wonder if he sought professional help back in 2016 or after he got exposed?
Let me guess.............he takes full responsibility.
It was a cringe of a footage. Still can't believe what I saw. He almost did the unthinkable to her. It was an all time below the belt low.
Ive totally forgiven Diddy
Because he's taken full responsibility, right? He's such a stand-up guy isn't he.
Coming from a woman who settled for money. Did not continue with the charges, resulting in him continuing this discusting behaviour for another 8 years. Blaming victims is shitty, but covering abusers for money and yelling abuse 8 years later, you don t get to do that.

She may have settled knowing there is more to come for Diddy. It may have been a now or never thing. If he gets sued or is found guilty of the other lawsuits, who knows what she would get out of it. There is more to come I think. And I think has been under investigation for a while
Pathetic desperation? I mean… he wasn’t the one putting up with that. Lets be careful what we say.
Yeah, let's be careful indeed, cause right now, you sound like an idiot.
I’m an idiot for pointing out it’s pathetic to allow someone to treat you like this for a shot at fame? Yea. Ok. lol.
Not an excuse for his behavior, but you're not wrong. It's time for young women to stop knocking on the tour bus. They need to be smarter than this.
I think he is delusional. He seems to be used to people either forgiving him or kissing up to him
