Sean “Diddy” Combs has faced another ‘L’ in court after a judge ruled that there is no evidence to support his legal team’s claims that prosecutors leaked the infamous 2016 surveillance video of him viciously attacking his then-girlfriend, Cassie.
Judge Arun Subramanian wrote in his ruling that the disgraced mogul “doesn’t point to any sound basis for this conclusion.”
“Combs never considers the possibility that many people beyond Victim-1 and government agents likely had access to the video, including Combs’s team (who paid security officers at the Intercontinental Hotel “$100,000 in cash to destroy” the video) and hotel employees and contractors,” the judge continued.
The video was published online by CNN. In the video, Diddy is seen dragging, kicking and even throwing a vase in Cassie’s direction. He apologized for the assault.
“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said at the time in a video shared to his Instagram account. “I was f-cked up — I mean, I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses.”
