Combs has previously apologized for his 'inexcusable' actions in the video.
Sean"Diddy" Combs arrives at the LA Premiere of"The Four: Battle For Stardom" on May 30, 2018, in Los Angeles.Widely seen video of Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly attacking then-girlfriend and protégé Cassie Ventura was “edited,” the music mogul’s defense attorneys said Thursday, claiming that it does not accurately depict what occurred March 2016 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles.
The defense argued that prosecutors “invented” the narrative using a "manipulated version” of the video. The defense insisted that the video did not depict a “freak off,” but rather showed a domestic dispute in which Combs ran down the hall of the hotel to recover his clothes and cellphone.
The defense offered to bring a forensic video analyst to court Friday, at which time the judge will hear arguments and make a decision about releasing Combs on bail. Seemingly undeterred, prosecutors have said the video and other evidence is strong enough to warrant Combs’ continued pretrial detention.In the footage, Combs was shown chasing Ventura down the hotel hallway, grabbing her by the back of the neck, shoving her to the ground and kicking her as she lay on the ground. He then appeared to grab her by her sweatshirt and drag her across the floor.
