Sean “Diddy” Combs recently posted a video apologizing for his past actions after surveillance footage showing him assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura surfaced. In the video, Combs took full responsibility for his behavior and claimed he had sought professional help and therapy after hitting rock bottom in 2016 following the assault. However, many critics, including Aubrey O’Day and 50 Cent, felt that Combs’ apology was insincere as he did not specifically mention Ventura or apologize directly to her.
Aubrey O’Day criticized Combs for not apologizing to Cassie and pointed out that he had previously denied accusations of abuse and assault, claiming that his victims were looking for a payday. She questioned the sincerity of his apology and called out his previous statement in which he denied the allegations against him. Similarly, 50 Cent also questioned Combs’ media strategy, suggesting that the timing of his apology would make it difficult for people to believe.
Combs’ apology video has not been well-received by many fans and celebrities, who believe that his words are disingenuous and self-serving. While the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will not be pressing charges against Combs due to the statute of limitations, many feel that the court of public opinion will hold him accountable. Cassie has not directly addressed the footage or Combs’ apology, but her lawyers have criticized the music mogul for making the apology more about himself than the people he has hurt.
