Cassie Ventura's legal team slams Diddy's 'apology' video: No one will be swayed by his words

Even though Diddy has seemingly apologised aftera dated video of him assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura came to light, most feel his apology was a reaction to all the criticism coming his way. Now, Ventura's legal team has slammed Diddy's apology.

In a statement issued to Page Six, Meredith Firetog, representing Ventura said, "Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt."

“When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday,” the statement continued.

“That he was only compelled to ‘apologise’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”

Many on social media have bashed Diddy for his “apology” and stated that it comes only after getting caught and not for his misconduct.

In the video, Diddy doesn't even mention Ventura's name - a fact that many on social media noticed and slammed the music mogul for.

Diddy's “sorry” video came after his previously long-maintained stance of innocence on the matter.

He had repeatedly denied all allegations of sexual assault or sexual trafficking raised against him in several lawsuits.

However, the new video catches him backtracking, as he now takes full responsibility for what unfolded between him and Cassie in that hotel hallway in 2016.

Though he also talks about seeking out “professional help" after the incident, he doesn't elaborate much on his treatment timeline or details.
