Lawyers for Kathy Ventura, the ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ accuser, said Sunday that Sean “Diddy” Combs has accused him of violently punching her back in 2016 after footage surfaced of him violently punching her back. ‘s “pathetic” apology.
“Comms’ latest statement is more about himself than the many people he hurt,” said attorney Meredith Firetog of Wigdor LLP, a partner in Ventura’s representation firm.
“When Kathy and several other women came forward, he denied everything and implied that the victims were looking for a payday,” Firetog said in a statement posted to X.
“The fact that he was forced to ‘apologize’ only after his repeated denials were proven to be false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one would be upset by his dishonest words. There won’t be any.”
Disturbing surveillance footage released by CNN on Friday shows Combs throwing his then-girlfriend Ventura to the ground at the hotel, then kicking her, dragging her into a hallway and throwing objects at her. It was reflected.

In a video posted to his Instagram on Sunday, Combs said he takes “full responsibility” for his actions and described how he was at “rock bottom” at the time the video was shot.
He went on to say how he has since gone through therapy to become a better person, and that he felt “disgusted” with himself at the time of the beating, which he still does today.
Despite settling a lawsuit in November 2023 alleging that Ventura subjected her to years of physical violence and sexual abuse, Combs has adamantly denied the accusations, including a 2016 incident at a hotel. It also included graphic descriptions of assault.
Ventura said in a November filing that Combs punched him in the face and that he wore the hooded sweatshirt seen in the video to hide his black eye as he fled the hotel.
Since Ventura’s rape, sexual misconduct and other disturbing accusations, Combs has been hit with five more lawsuits.
