Diddy's Team Claims CNN Altered & Destroyed Cassie Video In New Court Filing

Diddy's Team Claims CNN Altered & Destroyed Cassie Video In New Court Filing

Diddy's Team Claims CNN Altered & Destroyed Cassie Video In New Court Filing
The footage is brutal. There’s no way around it. The grainy hotel surveillance clip from 2016 shows Sean “Diddy” Combs physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hallway. It’s not a rumor. It’s not hearsay. It’s right there in black and white. And when CNN obtained the video and aired it, the world saw something Diddy had spent years denying. His response? An Instagram apology, admitting his actions were "inexcusable" and saying he was "truly sorry."

End of story? Not quite. Because now, Combs and his legal team are crying foul, claiming the video was “altered.” They’ve filed a letter with prosecutors arguing that CNN “substantially altered” the footage—covering the timestamp, changing the sequence, and speeding it up to make his actions look worse. The letter, obtained by The Mirror US, insists the video is misleading and should be thrown out. The implication is clear: if they can make the tape look unreliable, they can cast doubt on the entire case.

CNN, for its part, is having none of it. A spokesperson flatly denied the allegations, stating that CNN “never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage, which was retained by the source.” They also pointed out that the network aired the story months before Combs was arrested, suggesting there’s no grand conspiracy here—just an undeniable piece of evidence that doesn’t do Diddy any favors.

Cassie’s attorney, Douglas Wigdor, had a response of his own, and he didn’t mince words. He called Combs’ argument “disingenuous” and said it’s nothing more than an attempt to keep “disturbing” evidence out of court. He added that he is “confident that the video fairly and accurately represents what happened” and that Combs will be held accountable for his actions.

The stakes here are enormous. The lawsuit Cassie filed in November 2023, which was quickly settled, already painted a damning picture of their relationship. She accused Combs of years of physical and sexual abuse, and though he initially denied the claims, this video aligns perfectly with her allegations. It’s a rare instance where the public gets to see what usually stays hidden behind closed doors.

Of course, Combs’ legal team is doing what any defense team would—throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Their letter claims CNN “purchased the only known copy of the hotel’s surveillance footage, uploaded that footage into a free editing software, altered the video, and then destroyed the original footage.” Now, they plan to file a motion regarding the video and “disclose subpoenaed materials to the government.”

But here’s the thing: if this tape was doctored, why hasn’t Combs’ team produced another version? If CNN truly manipulated the video, wouldn’t the hotel itself have a backup to prove it? Instead, the argument relies on speculation—an attempt to muddy the waters and make people question their own eyes. Because if there’s anything history has taught us, it’s that powerful men caught in ugly situations don’t go down quietly. They fight. They distract. They reframe the narrative.

But at the end of the day, the tape exists. And it’s hard to watch. It’s not about a he-said-she-said anymore. It’s about what we can see with our own eyes. And no amount of legal maneuvering changes that.

Sean Combs' Trial Secrets: Why Some Charges Suddenly Vanished

Sean Combs' Trial Secrets: Why Some Charges Suddenly Vanished

Sean Combs' Trial Secrets: Why Some Charges Suddenly Vanished In a shocking courtroom twist during Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, prosecutors abruptly dropped critical charges of kidnapping and arson. Why did these serious allegations suddenly vanish from the prosecution’s strategy? Was it a carefully planned move to streamline their case or a desperate response to losing key witnesses and evidence? In this detailed video, legal expert Eric Faddis—a defense attorney and former prosecutor experienced in high-profile cases—pulls back the curtain on these surprising trial developments. Eric carefully analyzes the possible motives behind prosecutors narrowing their case mid-trial, discussing how jurors might perceive such sudden shifts. Could dropping these charges cast doubt on the overall credibility of the prosecution’s narrative, or does it sharpen their remaining allegations, making it easier for jurors to follow? Furthermore, Eric dives into the broader implications of this strategy, dissecting the complexities of proving charges under federal RICO statutes. With the prosecution now focusing tightly on sex trafficking by coercion and interstate prostitution, Faddis evaluates whether this streamlined approach could actually strengthen their chances or leave jurors questioning the case's validity. Additionally, Eric addresses critical behind-the-scenes considerations, like witness credibility issues, missing testimonies, and the psychological impact of sudden strategic pivots on jury deliberations. Could prosecutors have miscalculated their strategy, ultimately damaging their own case, or was this an unavoidable move due to insufficient evidence? As viewers follow every twist in this intense trial, Eric Faddis offers indispensable insider analysis, clearly explaining why certain charges disappeared and how this could dramatically influence the jury’s upcoming decision. Watch now to uncover the hidden dynamics at play in one of the most high-profile celebrity trials in recent years.

Odds of Diddy Going Down? Which Of the Three Charges Could Stick? We Break It Down!

Odds of Diddy Going Down? Which Of the Three Charges Could Stick? We Break It Down!

Odds of Diddy Going Down? Which Of the Three Charges Could Stick? We Break It Down! Sean “Diddy” Combs is staring down some of the most serious federal charges imaginable—racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate prostitution—and now the jury is preparing to decide his fate. But how strong is the government’s case really? In this episode, we break down exactly what Diddy’s facing, what each charge requires under federal law, and—most importantly—which ones the jury is most likely to convict on. We walk you through the complex RICO charge, which alleges that Combs ran a criminal enterprise through manipulation, bribery, and violence. It’s a hard charge to prove, and the defense hammered that in their closing. But sex trafficking? That might be a different story. With disturbing video evidence, graphic testimony, and a pattern of control over alleged victims like Cassie Ventura and others, this could be where prosecutors land their biggest hit. And then there’s the sleeper: transportation for prostitution. It’s narrowly defined, well-documented, and doesn’t require the emotional nuance of the other charges. If Diddy goes down, this could be the count that does it. In this true crime breakdown, we don’t speculate—we map out the legal thresholds, the courtroom facts, and the likely jury reasoning based on what’s been presented over the last few weeks. Whether Diddy walks, runs, or falls hard, this episode explains what really matters now that the trial has hit its final moments. Stay tuned, subscribe for verdict updates, and drop your thoughts in the comments: Will Diddy be found guilty? And if so, on what?

Was Sean 'Diddy' Combs a Criminal Mastermind or Just Reckless & Rich

Was Sean 'Diddy' Combs a Criminal Mastermind or Just Reckless & Rich

Was Sean 'Diddy' Combs a Criminal Mastermind or Just Reckless & Rich The federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs exposes unsettling details about power, privilege, and alleged criminal behavior at the pinnacle of fame. But a pivotal question lingers: Was Diddy truly a criminal mastermind, deliberately orchestrating a sophisticated sex trafficking and racketeering enterprise, or was he merely a reckless celebrity whose lavish lifestyle spiraled dangerously out of control? In this comprehensive analysis, expert attorney Eric Faddis, a seasoned legal professional with experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, dives into the nuances separating deliberate criminality from reckless excess. Eric walks us through precisely how prosecutors are using the RICO statute—typically reserved for mob bosses and organized crime—to paint Combs as a calculated, sinister figure running a criminal enterprise. Yet, the evidence is not without ambiguity. Eric closely examines testimony and evidence from Combs’ trial, highlighting areas of potential weakness for the prosecution, including dropped charges and the critical absence of identified co-conspirators. Could the jury interpret these gaps as proof of a weaker-than-expected case? Faddis unpacks how jurors might distinguish clear criminal intent from reckless indulgence and personal dysfunction. Moreover, Eric explores how the graphic nature of certain evidence might emotionally influence jurors, potentially clouding their interpretation of complex legal standards. He analyzes precisely why proving intent and coordination under RICO law is particularly challenging, discussing whether the prosecution might have stretched their narrative too far. Watch this in-depth discussion for a clear, insightful breakdown of the strategies, strengths, and vulnerabilities in this high-profile case. Is Diddy a calculated criminal leader or simply an irresponsible, wealthy man whose questionable behavior went unchecked for too long? Eric Faddis provides essential context and clarity ahead of the jury’s pivotal decision.
