00:00It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life.

00:05Sometimes you got to do that.

00:08Sean Diddy Combs is apologizing for a recently surfaced 2016 video,

00:12which sees him attacking his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura.

00:17Diddy took to Instagram on Sunday to own up to the incident.

00:20I was f***ed up.

00:22I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses.

00:26My behavior on that video is inexcusable.

00:30The surveillance video obtained by CNN shows Combs holding a towel around his waist,

00:35running after a woman who appears to be Ventura after she's seen exiting a hotel room.

00:40He's then seen grabbing her by the back of the neck, throwing her to the floor,

00:44kicking her, dragging her by her sweatshirt, and later throwing an unidentifiable object toward her.

00:49I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now.

00:52I went and I sought out professional help.

00:54I had to go into therapy, I had to go into rehab, I had to ask God for his mercy and grace.

01:03I'm so sorry.

01:05Ventura's attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, said on Sunday in part that Combs' most recent statement

01:10is more about himself than the many people he has hurt.

01:14When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims

01:19were looking for a payday.

01:20On Friday, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said in a statement that they were aware of the video

01:25and that they find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch,

01:29but that we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline

01:34where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.

01:36The two parties were romantically involved for over a decade.

01:39In November, Ventura filed a lawsuit claiming that the music mogul trapped her for a decade

01:44in a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking.

01:48Ventura and Combs reached an undisclosed settlement and the case was dismissed the day after it was filed.

01:53Combs has since faced multiple new lawsuits this year, accusing him of rape, sexual assault, and sex trafficking.

01:59He has denied all of the allegations.

02:02In March, his Miami and Los Angeles homes were raided by Homeland Security.
