Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ defense team reportedly accused CNN of editing and destroying the only copy of the video showing the music mogul assaulting Cassie Ventura, court documents said.
The bombshell allegations were first reported Thursday by TMZ, Thursday. Diddy’s attorneys and prosecutors filed a joint letter alleging CNN purchased the 2016 video that showed Diddy attacking Ventura in one of the Los Angeles InterContinental Hotel’s hallways and tampered with it. Diddy admitted the incident took place and publicly apologized in May 2024.
“CNN purchased the only known copy of the Hotel’s surveillance footage, uploaded that footage into a free editing software, altered the video and then destroyed the original footage, even though it knew about and repeatedly reported about the federal investigation,” they claimed in the letter.
