Emily Ratajkowski branded Diddy a "monster" on Friday, leading the horrified celebrity reactions to newly unearthed footage of his violent assault on Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. The video, obtained by CNN, shows Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City. As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her to the ground. He then kicked her as she lay motionless on the floor, before taking the two designer bags she had tried to escape with. Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.
Aubrey O'Day, who once worked with Diddy but has been fiercely critical of him since he fired her from the singing group Danity Kane in 2008, commented on X: "The picture is getting a lot more clear for you all I can imagine." She added: "Abuse survivors or anyone that triggers easily might not want to watch (images are disturbing). #Cassie #diddy #kimporter. Prayers up for all his victims."
Diddy's rival, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson), tweeted sarcastically: "Now I’m sure Puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all." Jackson also mocked a defiant statement Diddy had issued last December in which he denied various sex crime accusations, commenting, "The lie detector test has determined this was a lie…. Maury vibes."
Cassie's husband, Alex Fine, posted a heartfelt "Letter to women and children," revealing that he had written it "awhile back." His message included: "Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men." Fine encouraged his followers to "Hold the women in your life with the utmost regard," adding, "Men who hurt women hate women." His message to perpetrators of abuse was: "You’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore."
