Hip-hop mogul Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, has publicly addressed a disturbing video that recently resurfaced, showing him physically assaulting a woman. In the video, obtained by CNN, Combs can be seen shoving the woman to the ground, kicking her, and dragging her down a hallway. The contents of the video mirror an assault allegation made by the woman, identified as Ventura, in a lawsuit filed against Diddy in November.

John Legend, a prominent figure in the music industry, expressed his support for the women who have come forward, stating that his default stance is to believe them and offer support. He hopes that these allegations are taken seriously, and that accountability and reparations can be made for those affected.

Following the release of the video, Diddy took to social media on May 19 to express remorse and take responsibility for his actions. In an Instagram video, he acknowledged hitting "rock bottom" and admitted that his behavior in the video was inexcusable. Diddy added that he sought professional help, underwent therapy and rehab, and asked for forgiveness. He emphasized his commitment to becoming a better person each day.

Ventura's attorney, Douglas Wigdor, reacted to the video by affirming the predatory behavior displayed by Diddy. He commended Ventura's courage for coming forward and shedding light on the matter.

Ventura was the first to accuse Diddy of sexual assault in her November lawsuit, in which she detailed a decade of violent behavior and disturbing demands. She claimed that Diddy physically attacked her multiple times and forced her to engage in unwanted sexual acts. The case was subsequently settled, but multiple other women later came forward with similar allegations against the hip-hop mogul.

Diddy has vehemently denied all the accusations leveled against him, insisting that they are attempts to damage his reputation and legacy by individuals seeking financial gain. He expressed his determination to fight for his name, his family, and the truth.

As the allegations against Diddy continue to unfold, the impact on his career and public image remains uncertain. It is yet to be seen how the legal proceedings and public opinion will ultimately shape the future for both Diddy and the women who have accused him of sexual assault.
