Miami Beach Revokes ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’ Following Cassie Assault Video

Diddy is facing new consequences following the release of Cassie’s assault video and allegations of sexual assault. The Miami Beach Commission has decided to revoke the honor of “Sean Diddy Combs Day” in light of these recent developments.
If you remember, Diddy was seen alongside then-Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine at the 2016 Revolt Music Conference when he was initially granted the proclamation. However, this week, the city’s Commissioners voted to withdraw the honor. According to TMZ, Diddy received the proclamation in October 2016, just seven months after he was captured on surveillance video assaulting his ex-girlfriend inside an L.A. hotel. This information was not known to the general public, including the City of Miami Beach, until the video surfaced earlier this year.
Miami Herald also reported that the Miami Beach Commission reached a final decision last Wednesday without engaging in any debate.
As we previously reported, CNN released a disturbing surveillance video showing Cassie Ventura, now 37, leaving a hotel room and heading towards an elevator as Diddy now 54, runs down on her in the hallway wearing only a towel. Combs then violently grabs her by the neck, causing her to fall to the ground. In a shocking display of aggression, Combs proceeds to kick Cassie while she lies still before snatching her purse and suitcase.
In the footage, Cassie remains on the ground as Combs kicks her once more and pulls her by her hoodie, dragging her briefly down the hallway before releasing her and taking her belongings. Shortly after, Combs comes back to grab Ventura near the elevator and then sits in a nearby chair, picking up an object from a table and throwing it at her. As he walks away, Combs turns back towards Ventura when the elevator door opens and someone exits.
Diddy’s apology still has the internet talking because many people feel like he wasn’t genuinely sorry for his behavior. Taking to his official account on Instagram, Diddy shared a video with the caption, “I’m truly sorry.” In his video, a little over a minute in length, he says, “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life. But, sometimes, you gotta do that.”
He continued, “I was f***ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom. But, I make no excuses. My behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. Disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it and I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I had to go into therapy and go into rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But, I’m committed to being a better man every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
