Cassie’s legal team is pushing back against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ claim that the recently surfaced hotel surveillance video—showing him assaulting her—is edited
Her attorney Douglas Wigdor insists the footage is authentic and expects it to be admitted as evidence in Diddy’s upcoming trial.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Wigdor dismissed Diddy’s argument, saying, ‘It’s not surprising Diddy would make a disingenuous argument to exclude the disturbing video from being shown to the jury in the upcoming trial.’
He added, ‘I am confident that the video fairly and accurately represents what happened, will be admitted into evidence, and that Combs will be held accountable for his depravity.’
Diddy’s team claims CNN altered and destroyed the original footage, arguing for its exclusion in court, but Cassie’s camp expects the motion to be denied.
‘Our written and oral communications with CNN’s counsel was clear – they destroyed the original video file they received from their source,’ read a statement from Diddy’s legal team issued to Dailymail.com Thursday evening.
CNN denied the claims made by Combs that the clip was edited to make him look worse.
The disgraced rapper, 54, is currently behind bars after he was charged with a host of s3x trafficking and racketeering offenses following his September 16 arrest.
As it stands, he will remain in prison ahead of his May 2025 trial.
Cassie played a pivotal role in the downfall of Diddy after she accused him of repeated physical abuse and rape in a bombshell $30million lawsuit.
She had been in a long-term on-off relationship with Combs for 11 years.
They secretly started dating in 2007, two years after first meeting when Cassie was just 19. Their romance became public knowledge in 2012 and they split six years later in 2018.
