Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} An attorney for Casandra “Cassie” Ventura has slammed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ apology as “disingenuous” after he broke his silence over the release of shocking footage showing him attacking her in a hotel hallway in 2016. Diddy posted an Instagram video on Sunday apologizing for beating his then-girlfriend Cassie, calling his behaviour “inexcusable” and saying he “takes full responsibility for his actions in the video”. Shocking footage shows Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura in 2016 “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he says. On Friday, the office of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón said that charges cannot be brought against Diddy because “if the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.” This latest scandal comes at a time when Diddy is facing a string of civil lawsuits accusing him of sex trafficking, sexual abuse and rape.
