The rapper-turned business mogul 54, said he was “truly
sorry” for the incident, two days after a video was released by CNN showing him
launching a brutal attack on 37-year-old Cassie at a now-closed Los Angeles
hotel.
But hours later her lawyers said it was a self-obsessed
display.
The renowned American musician didn’t mention Cassie
directly by name in his apology video, which was released on Instagram, and
used it to say it was hard for him to talk about “dark” times, before telling
his followers he went into therapy and rehab and sought God’s help after the
incident.
Meredith Firetog, a partner at Wigdor LLP, the legal firm
representing Cassie, told “Page Six”: “Combs’ most recent statement is more
about himself than the many people he has hurt.”
Referring to the wave of other accusations of abuse he is
facing, she said: “When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied
everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a pay day.
“That he was only compelled to ‘apologise’ once his
repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation and no one
will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
