AceShowbiz - The entertainment industry is reeling after an alarming video of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, 54, physically assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, 37, surfaced. The previously unseen footage was released by CNN and aligns with Ventura's detailed 35-page lawsuit against Combs. The video prompted a public outpouring of emotions and statements from involved and affected parties.
Misa Hylton, another of Combs' exes and the mother of his son Justin, 30, took to Instagram to express her sorrow and solidarity with Ventura.
"I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma," Hylton wrote alongside a photograph featuring Combs' seven children. She continued, "Their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it."
Douglas H. Wigdor, Ventura's lawyer, also spoke out, describing the video as "gut-wrenching" and highlighting the "disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs." Wigdor praised Ventura's bravery for coming forward despite the traumatic circumstances.
The reaction from Combs was remorse. In a video posted to his Instagram page, an apologetic Combs said, "My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it, I'm disgusted now." He detailed his journey into therapy and rehab, finishing with, "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."
However, Ventura's legal team and her husband Alex Fine expressed skepticism regarding Combs' apology. Meredith Firetog of Wigdor LLP criticized the timing and sincerity of the apology, suggesting it was driven by "pathetic desperation" rather than genuine remorse.
Fine also spoke out to support his wife and other victims, emphasizing, "To all the survivors, your stories are real, and people believe you... I want to raise my daughters in a world where they are safe and loved."
The incident has shone a harsh spotlight on the darker side of the celebrity world, exposing how fame and power can obscure serious personal failings. As the discourse continues, the public's focus remains on understanding the depth of the issues and supporting those who bravely come forward with their stories.
