Diddy apologises for “inexcusable” 2016 video allegedly showing him attacking ex Cassie

Diddy has apologised for his “inexcusable” behaviour in a video allegedly showing him attacking ex Cassie.The apology follows footage obtained and published by CNN on Friday (March 17) which appeared to show the rapper beating his former partner, singer Cassie, and throwing an unidentified object at her from a nearby table.The footage aligns with testimony Cassie gave in a lawsuit filed against the rap mogul, in which she claimed Diddy “became extremely intoxicated and punched [her] in the face” at the hotel, then following her into the hallway and throwing glass vases at her after she tried to leave when he was asleep.Now, Diddy (real name Sean Combs) has taken to Instagram to publish an apology video today (May 19), beginning: “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said. “I was fucked up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses. My behaviour on that video is inexcusable.”“I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,” Combs continued.
