In the past two days, the character of Diddy, a European and American rap star, collapsed, and the surveillance video of him beating his ex-girlfriend in the hotel corridor was made public, and the picture was simply terrifying.
Before the surveillance video was exposed, Diddy had sworn "I didn't hit anyone", shook off various accusations, and bit the victim "all for money", but after the surveillance was exposed, his attitude was very different, and he immediately recorded an "apology video" with a pitiful look.
Let's start with the monitoring itself. The most recent surveillance footage filmed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles in March 2016 was somehow obtained by the American media CNN.
After CNN released it on the Internet, Diddy, who had previously created a loving wife and a family design, collapsed instantly.
Surveillance video shows a woman wearing a wide hoodie walking barefoot out of her hotel room in the middle of the night, carrying two bags, one large and one small, and she walks cautiously and at the same speed.
Then the surveillance switches to a black man wrapped in a bath towel covering his lower body and hurriedly running out of the same room, also barefoot, as if chasing something.
Then the surveillance clip switched to the perspective of the elevator room: the woman in the hoodie just now was intercepted by the man with a bath towel running out from behind, and before she could wait for the elevator, she waited for a crazy punch and kick from the man.
The man's strength was so different from the woman's that he knocked the woman to the ground with one punch and couldn't move, and then he went up and kicked her feet without hurrying.
While abusing the woman, the man picked up two luxury bags on the ground and prepared to go back to the room.
The video ends with the man dragging the hat part of the woman's hoodie and dragging her straight from the floor back to the room.
During the surveillance, the woman was treated like a vent, and there was no way to resist at all.
The beater in this surveillance is 54-year-old Diddy, and the person who was killed by him was his former girlfriend, singer Cassie, who is 17 years younger than him.
As soon as the video came out, the whole world was shocked.
Last November, Cassie sued her ex-boyfriend, Diddy, for a decade of physical abuse, sexual assault and forced her to have sex with others just to satisfy her lust.
In the indictment, she stated that she had been deeply involved in an unequal and hurtful relationship with Diddy, that she was only 19 years old when she met him, and that she was ruthlessly abused by him for nearly 10 years before finally coming to her senses and withdrawing.
Cassie claimed that she was not only physically and mentally abused by Diddy, but also sexually assaulted many times, and the most painful thing was Diddy's sexual perversion. He has sought out strange men countless times and asked her to have sex with them in front of him, and Diddy not only watched the whole process contentedly, but also recorded it.
In order to control Cassie, Diddy doused her with a lot of alcohol and poison.
And she was so scared that she never dared to call the police: "That will only be a valid reason for him to beat me next time." ”
Cassie broke up with Diddy completely in 2018, and later found a lover, and is now a mother of two children, and the family of four is very happy.
But it may be these horrific acts that have made Cassie choose to come forward against Diddy after more than 10 years.
After Cassie accused Diddy, as many as 3 anonymous accusers also came forward to accuse Diddy of doing dirty and dirty things to them as well.
One of them accused that this was a model who had participated in the production of Diddy's music MV, and the other party accused Diddy of touching his private parts without consent, showing him a gay X love video without consent, and even forcing him to watch his bathing process...
The accuser alleges that Diddy's son helped him recruit underage girls, while Diddy was in charge of drugging and documenting the X love process.
Another accuser even pointed out that Diddy drugged her in a hotel room with her accomplices when she was 17 years old, taking turns sexually assaulting her.
In the face of these serious accusations, Diddy and the lawyer both said firmly before the video of the hotel beating was exposed: "These are false accusations, they are all trying to get my money"!
At the time, Cassie settled in court just one day after the lawsuit was filed — Diddy's side quickly shut Cassie's mouth with the settlement money, and the two sides signed a strict confidentiality agreement.
Cassie explained the settlement as a way to end the tough battle in a way that she "had partial control." Before this surveillance video was leaked, many netizens did not understand Cassie's decision to stigmatize her victim.
Until the surveillance was exposed, many netizens began to re-understand her situation.
As for Diddy, after the monitoring was exposed, he changed the previous style of "the world's most innocent" painting style and began to repent:
"I hit rock bottom, but I don't have any excuses.
Reflecting on the darkest moments of life is very difficult, and sometimes you have to. I messed up.
I was disgusted with myself when I did this, and I am disgusted now. I went to seek professional help and started to receive treatment and rehabilitation.
I must pray for God's mercy and grace. I'm sorry. But I'm committed to being a better person every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness, I'm really sorry. ”
It sounds sincere, but do netizens believe that his repentance is sincere?
"Excuses don't diminish the facts of the crime. We've all had bad days, but most of us don't scold others to get rid of our anger. For this reason, there are laws and prisons in this world. ”
"Many people think that abuse only means physical violence. On the contrary, this is not the case. Most abusers spend weeks/months or years playing the emotional card before resorting to 'coercive control'.
Some will say they're sorry and promise not to do it again, others will blame the victim for losing control.
The truth is that once an abuser uses physical violence, they will do it again. ”
"He just regrets that he was caught on video, his career is over, he is under investigation and his freedom is threatened. That's where he regrets it. ”
Allegedly, the hotel involved actually discovered the surveillance at the first time, but later they charged Diddy $50,000 to delete the surveillance.
For this, netizens also blamed the hotel's inaction:
"I would sue that hotel for obstruction of justice. A brutal crime happened on their hotel facilities, and they just stood by and watched.
If they give the tape to LEA, no matter what Cassie says, the district attorney will take over the case and file charges.
It is absolutely inexcusable for the hotel to withhold this evidence for more than a day. Ladies, if you're like her, take the lead and throw a piece of furniture out of your hotel window along with your phone. ”
anyway
Let's hope that the perpetrators will eventually be brought to justice
