After several denials, CNN released surveillance video on May 17 that showed Diddy physically assaulting Ventura in 2016. The Bad Boy Records founder apologized after the video’s release to take full responsibility for his actions, adding that he “disgusted” when he did it and after seeing the clip. .
Cassie’s lawyer, Meredith Vuurtogalso released a statement decrying Diddy’s video as “more about himself than the many people he has hurt.”
“When Cassie and several other women came forward, he denied everything and implied his victims were looking for a payday,” Meredith said. “That he was only forced to ‘apologize’ when his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
Meanwhile, Alex also posted a lengthy Instagram note supporting his wife and the ‘Stop Violence Against Women’ campaign.
“I want my children and every child to live in a world that is safe for women and girls, protects them and treats them as equals,” he wrote. “To the women and children, you are not alone and you are being heard. If you need help, please call the Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-7233.”
