Diddy apologizes for 'inexcusable' behavior


          The ex-couple were seen at a movie screening in LA about one week before the video was purportedly filmed

Sean "Diddy" Combs has apologized for his "inexcusable" behavior after CCTV appeared to show him attacking singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura.

Speaking in a video posted to his Instagram page, the rap star said he took full responsibility for his actions in the clip.

The footage, aired by CNN earlier this week, appeared to show Mr Combs kicking and pushing his ex-girlfriend in a hotel hallway.

"I was disgusted when I did it. I'm disgusted now," he said in his statement.

"I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry."

He added that he was "committed to being a better man each and every day".

The BBC has not independently verified the video, which appears to be a compilation of surveillance footage angles dated 5 March 2016.

According to CNN, it was filmed at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.

The footage appears to show a man throwing Ms Ventura to the floor and kicking her while she is on the ground. He later attempts to drag her by her shirt and throw an object at her.

A lawyer for Ms Ventura said in a statement after the video was released: "The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr Combs."

The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said
