CNN denies to have changed the video of Diddy, attacking the Cassie in the Hotel Flur

CNN denies the claim that it has changed the video film material from Sean “Diddy” Combs attacking his girlfriend at the time, CassieIn a hotel corridor.

In a court report in connection with Diddy's federal offer from TMZ on Thursday, March 13, the lawyers of the rap mogul claimed that “CNN bought the only known copy of the hotel surveillance photo to change the film material into a free processing software and then to destroy the original film material, even though they reported on the federal investigation.”

Diddy's defense team also claimed that CNN had changed the film material that it first broadcast in May 2024 by “covering the time stamp and then changing the video sequence,” reported TMZ, referring to the court document. “It also includes accelerating the video so that it incorrectly looks that the actions in the video are faster than you. As a result, the CNN videos do not show the events in question. “

CNN replied on Thursday in a statement to TMZ: “CNN never changed the video and did not destroy the original copy of the film material, which was retained by the source. CNN broadcast the story about the video a few months before the arrest of Combs. “

However, Diddy's lawyers told the outlet: “Our written and oral communication with CNN's lawyer were clear – they destroyed the original video file that they received from their source.”

Hotel monitoring material from Diddy, 55, the Cassie, 38, attacked in a hallway in 2016, became viral when it was preserved and broadcast from CNN in May 2024.

At that time, Diddy apologized for his actions in a video that was posted via Instagram. “It is difficult to think about the darkest times in your life, sometimes you have to do that,” said Diddy last May. “I was f – clutch. I mean, I hit the low point, but I don't make excuses. My behavior in this video is unexcused. I take full responsibility for my actions in this video. I am disgusted. “

The rapper continued: “I went and selected professional help. I went to therapy and went to rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry, but I am obliged to be a better man every day. I don't ask for forgiveness. I'm really sorry. “

Diddy is currently behind bars in the metropolitan detention center in Brooklyn, New York, and is waiting for legal proceedings for federal members, including sex trade, extortion, conspiracy and transport to take part in prostitution after arrest in September 2024.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we have for the unjust law enforcement of Mr. Combs by the US law firm,” Diddy's lawyer Marc Agnifilo told US Weekly In a statement in September. “Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, homemade entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the past 30 years of building an empire, worshiping its children and raising the black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. “

The defended rap Mogul is also faced with dozens of complaints from people who claim that he had violated and exploited them by drugs, alcohol and physical abuse. Diddy also denied these allegations against him.
