Long before the video surfaced showing Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting singer and ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in a hotel hallway, that moment had been tormenting Grammy-winning songwriter Tiffany Red for years, according to Red.
“It was awful,” said Red, who wasn’t there when the assault happened. “That was around the time that I was writing for her,” she said.
Red was at the height of her career when she started writing songs for Ventura, previously working with musicians like Zendaya and Jason Derulo.
The musician and songwriter spoke to ABC News about what she describes as harrowing experiences working with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is now embroiled in several lawsuits with serious allegations.
“These things have messed up my career and my world, too,” Red told “IMPACT x Nightline” in an episode titled “Diddy’s Downfall,” which is now streaming on Hulu.
Shortly after the release of that video by CNN, Sean Combs released a video statement saying, in part: “I hit rock bottom. I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,” he said.
