Court

In
May
2024,
CNN
published
a
clip
of
hotel
surveillance
video
from
2016
that

appeared
to
show
Combs
attacking
his
then-girlfriend

Cassie,
born

Cassandra
Ventura.
(The
assault
matched
up
with
an
alleged
incident
detailed
in
the
lawsuit
she
filed
against
Combs
on
Nov.
16,
2023;
both
parties
announced
a
settlement
the
next
day.)

“I
was
f–ked
up.
I
hit
rock
bottom,”
Combs
said
in
a
video
posted
to
Instagram
in
response
to
the
footage. “But
I
make
no
excuses.
My
behavior
on
that
video
is
inexcusable.
I
take
full
responsibility
for
my
actions
in
that
video.”
He
had
gone
to
therapy
and
rehab
since,
he
added,
and
was “committed
to
be
a
better
man
each
and
every
day.”

During
a
Sept.
18
hearing
on
Combs’
second
request
for
bail,
Assistant
U.S.
Attorney Emily
Johnson
said,
per
NBC
News,
that

Combs
allegedly
sent
a
text
in
the
days
following
the
assault
that
read, “Call
me,
the
cops
are
here.”
Another
read, “I
have
six
kids.
Call,
I’m
surrounded.”
