Renowned rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs issued a public apology on Instagram after a surveillance video was released showing him physically attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016.

The apology was criticized for being insincere as Diddy did not directly address or apologize to Ventura.

This move followed public backlash and being found liable in the court of public opinion.

Ventura's attorney labeled the apology as self-serving, noting Diddy's past denials and attacks on accusers, which undermined his credibility.

Diddy's social media behavior has been described as manipulative and desperate, with advice for him to stay off social media to avoid further damage.

Despite facing federal investigation and intense scrutiny, Diddy continues to deny allegations of sexual assault and harassment.

Victims of domestic violence are encouraged to seek support from organizations like the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service.
