00:00 Rapper Diddy released an apology video on May 19th, following a disturbing clip of the
00:05 star attacking his then-girlfriend Cassie in 2016.
00:09 Hotel surveillance footage obtained by CNN and published on Friday, May 17th, showed
00:14 Diddy grabbing Cassie by the hair, throwing her onto the ground, kicking her, and then
00:19 throwing an object at her.
00:21 Nearly two days after the footage was released, Diddy posted an apology video on his Instagram.
00:26 "I was f**ked up.
00:30 I mean I hit rock bottom.
00:32 But I make no excuses.
00:35 My behavior on that video is inexcusable.
00:38 I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.
00:41 I had to ask God for his mercy and grace.
00:44 I'm so sorry."
00:46 Actor Emily Ratajkowski reacted to the apology on X, formerly known as Twitter, simply writing
00:51 "monster."
00:52 Fellow rapper 50 Cent reposted Diddy's apology on his Instagram, writing in the caption,
00:57 "This is not going to work.
00:59 Who is advising him right now?
01:01 Shaking my head.
01:02 Bad move."
01:03 American reality TV star and singer Aubrey O'Day, who has worked with Diddy in the past,
01:08 also condemned the star on Twitter, writing, "Diddy did not apologize to Cassie.
01:13 He apologized to the world for seeing what he did.
01:16 Leave God and mercy out of this.
01:18 They aren't present here and you know it."
