Not too long ago. Diddy and his legal team attempted to call out CNN for allegedly altering the video of him beating Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016. The news network is now clapping back at the claim saying they don’t know what the heck he’s talking about.
According to TMZ, CNN has responded to the allegation that Diddy’s legal team lobbed at them in which they claimed that not only did CNN alter the now infamous video of Diddy beating and dragging Cassie down a hotel hallway, but that they destroyed the only copy of the video in the process. Needless to say, that’s a huge accusation to hurl at any news network; CNN has finally responded to the allegation.
Per TMZ:
A spokesperson for CNN tells TMZ … “CNN never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage, which was retained by the source. CNN aired the story about the video several months before Combs was arrested.”
We broke the story … Diddy’s defense team claimed Thursday in new court docs that CNN purchased the video showing Diddy attacking Cassie in the hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in L.A.
Diddy’s camp claims CNN took the only known copy of the hotel’s surveillance footage and uploaded it into a free editing software, altered the video and then destroyed the original footage.
But, CNN says Diddy’s lawyers have it all wrong.
At this point, it seems like Diddy’s team will do anything to repair his reputation before his trial starts in May, but with all these men and women coming out the woodworks with their own stories about “The Diddler” and his predatory ways, Diddy’s name is beyond salvageable.
On the flip side, there are rumors that Diddy is being treated like a celebrity behind bars by his fellow inmates, so there’s that. Heck, even crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried says Diddy was nice to him when they crossed paths at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center. So it seems like Diddy’s ways and actions aren’t rubbing too many people the wrong way where he’s currently stationed. Just sayin’.
What do y’all think? Does it look like CNN altered the video of Diddy beating Cassie? Is Diddy’s team capping for their client’s sake? Let us know in the comments section below.
