Piers Morgan Uncensored/Youtube Sean 'Diddy' Combs Breaks Silence on Video of Cassie Assault: 'I Take Full Responsibility for My Actions' When he saw the 2016 video that showed the "I'll Be Missing You" artist shoving and kicking his ex-girlfriend Cassie (born Casandra Ventura), Bonds thought "he's up to the same games." "It didn't surprise me when I saw it because I've seen things to this nature before," he alleges of Combs' behavior. "I've gotten in-between things of this nature before — and this was back in 2012." On May 19, the hip-hop star shared an apology via an Instagram video for the altercation that took place between Combs and Ventura, 37, in the 2016 surveillance video, which was released by CNN on May 17, and matches allegations his ex-girlfriend made in a now-settled lawsuit from last November. "It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life," Combs said in the clip. "Sometimes you gotta do that. I was f---ed up. I mean I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable." He added: "I take full responsibility for my actions in that video." "Disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it, I'm disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry, but I'm committed to be a better man. Each and every day," Combs continued.
