Cassie's lawyer has spoken out about Sean "Diddy" Combs' remorseful response to a 2016 surveillance footage showing him attacking the singer, his then-girlfriend, in a Los Angeles hotel corridor.
Diddy termed his actions "inexcusable" in an Instagram video released on May 19 (read here) and claimed he was "truly sorry," without addressing the singer.
Cassie's lawyer Meredith Firetog however told CNN that "Combs' most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,"
The lawyer further stated that "no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words."
Firetog continued: "When Cassie and other multiple women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words."
Also Aubrey O'Day, who formerly fronted Diddy's all-girl group Danity Kane and has since been an outspoken critic of Combs, slammed his apology video.
"Diddy did not apologize to Cassie. He apologized to the world for seeing what he did," she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
