AceShowbiz - Social media is abuzz after NBA superstar LeBron James unfollowed Sean "P. Diddy" Combs on Instagram, following a troubling video that surfaced showing Diddy hitting singer Cassie Ventura. This newly emerged footage, which took place in a hotel almost eight years ago, has added to the mounting scandals and legal disputes entangling Diddy.
The video rapidly gained traction on social media, leading to widespread outrage. Diddy was quick to issue an apology on his Instagram account, acknowledging his wrongdoings. Looking straight into the camera, Diddy stated, "I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses…"
"My behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I'm disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab."
The apology did little to quell the storm, and LeBron's actions were seen by many as a significant response. While some applauded LeBron for his moral stand, others speculated whether it was a calculated PR move advised by his agency, Klutch Sports. Despite the differing opinions, the consensus among LeBron's fans was that it was a wise decision, even if it should have been made sooner.
Among those supporting Cassie Ventura during this trying time is her friend Christina Milian, who voiced her encouragement at the Global Gift Gala during the Cannes Film Festival.
Christina commended Cassie's courage for speaking out, stating, "My heart and my support and my love goes out to Cassie. She's actually a friend of mine. And so for her and her family, I would love in my part to protect their privacy. But I also do believe that I have a lot of love for her and I'm wishing her best, especially going through something so public."
Christina's comments underscored the importance of victims of domestic violence coming forward. "I absolutely think it's important for victims of domestic violence to speak up. I think for years many have. And I think it's important they continue to, so that we can stop it. I love that they're gonna make us put a stop to any kind of horrific abuse," she passionately added.
As the public continues to digest these revelations, LeBron's decision to distance himself from Diddy marks a significant cultural moment. For many, it underscores the responsibility celebrities have in setting moral examples and influences.
