In a recent development, music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has issued a public apology for a security video that has surfaced, depicting him allegedly attacking singer Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway back in 2016. The video, which was aired by CNN, shows Combs punching, kicking, shoving, and dragging Cassie, who was his protege and girlfriend at the time.

Taking to social media on Sunday, Combs expressed his deep remorse for his actions, stating that his behavior was "inexcusable" and that he takes "full responsibility." In an Instagram video, he shared his disgust and admitted to hitting rock bottom during that period of his life, making no excuses for his behavior.

The security camera footage, dated March 5, 2016, closely aligns with an incident described in a lawsuit filed by Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura. The suit alleges years of sexual abuse and other acts of violence by Combs. It claims that Combs paid the hotel $50,000 for the security video, although Combs has vehemently denied the allegations.

CNN, who aired the video, did not disclose how it obtained the footage but confirmed its authenticity by comparing it to publicly available images of the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, where the incident allegedly took place.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's office has acknowledged the video, describing it as "extremely disturbing and difficult to watch." However, they stated that they would be unable to press charges due to the statute of limitations for assault crimes having expired.

In his recent apology, Combs acknowledged seeking professional help, including therapy and rehab, to address his actions. He expressed deep regret and sought forgiveness, while committing to become a better person each day.

This latest revelation adds to a series of allegations and revelations of physical and sexual violence against Combs. The incident serves as a reminder of the need to address and hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their public image or status.

As of now, neither Combs nor his representatives have responded to the video prior to this public apology. The impact of this revelation on Combs' career and personal life remains to be seen.
