Cassie’s lawyers have been masterful in their reactions to the release of footage of Diddy beating the singer, and his ex-girlfriend, back in 2016. After Diddy dropped an apology on Sunday (May 19), the now happily married singer’s legal team issued a statement slamming the mogul’s already derided mea culpa.
Taking to Instagram, Diddy posted a video apology that was widely criticized as insincere and never mentioned Cassie by name. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you gotta do that,” said Diddy. “I was f*cked up. I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”
He also added, “I went and I sought out professional help, going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry, but I’m committed to be a better man each and every day.”
Cassie’s attorney wasn’t feeling Diddy’s words.
“Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt,” said Meredith Firetog, of Wigdor LLP, which represented Cassie Ventura in her settlement, in a statement shortly after Combs released his apology.
“When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday,” continued Firetog.
The post that the attorney references is from late 2023, and is still up on Diddy’s Instagram account. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,” he wrote on the post, dated December 6, 2023. “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
Well, that clearly is not the case.
Firetog added, “That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”
Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, also brought the smoke. “Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men, violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable. Check your brothers, your friends, and your family. Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved. Hold the women in your life with the upmost regard,” said Fine in an Instagram post.
Also, Diddy’s old stomping grounds at Revolt—he resigned from his chairman position last year—washed its hands of him.

Earlier this week social media collectively clutched their pearls when former Good Burger star, Kel Mitchell went on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast and revealed that his ex-wife, Tyisha Hampton, was impregnated by multiple men before and during their 6-year marriage.
Now Hampton has decided to speak on the situation and according to TMZ is refuting Mitchell’s claim saying it’s all cap and he’s basically making things up to slander her good name. In said Club Shay Shay interview, Kel recalled how Hampton allegedly had an abortion before the two married in 1999 and after the procedure he was told by his pending wife that the baby wasn’t his. Unfortunately for him the supposed the cheating didn’t stop after the two took their vows and Hampton eventually ended up getting pregnant by another man and according to Kel, he didn’t find out until a doctor mentioned that Hampton lost a baby that he didn’t know about.
After days of social media weighing in on the situation and throwing in their own two cents on the matter, Hampton decided to speak up and defend herself saying Kel Mitchell’s account is inaccurate and went so far as to call him a “psycho” after she stopped accepting his personality traits. Saying he was “narcissistic” during their marriage, Hampton says he made up the abortions and that the first time she got pregnant was with her son who is currently alive and well.
TMZ reports:
For her part, Hampton’s calling BS on all of it … saying when she stopped simply accepting Kel’s behavior he went off on her. Tyisha says Kel’s lying about the abortions, and calls her ex-husband narcissistic. So, each person seems intent on trashing the other here.
Tyisha and Kel share two children, and Kel’s got two more with his current wife Asia Leewhom he married back in 2012.
BTW … the interview takes another wild turn — ’cause Kel claims Tyisha put a hex on him, and he had a full-on exorcism performed while he prayed with demons’ names coming from his mouth.
In cases like this you really don’t know who to believe unless you’re familiar with both parties and have an idea of the type of people they are.
Check out Tyisha Hampton’s response to Kel Mitchell’s wild story and let us know who you think is capping in the comments section below.

Keep reading for details on where to get tickets to see Adele live, and how much you can expect to pay for the most affordable (and most expensive) tickets.
Where to Get Adele Tickets
The final round of tickets to Adele’s Las Vegas residency sold out at Ticketmaster last year, but fans can find plenty of resale tickets on Vivid Seats, StubHub and SeatGeek.
How much do Adele tickets cost? Right now, tickets are in high demand, which means prices are skyrocketing. Most of the tickets for May and June range from approximately $570-$770, and up to $3,000 for the most expensive tickets.
If you want to see Adele perform over Memorial Day weekend, tickets are approximately $600 and up at StubHub and Vivid Seats, and prices are likely to get higher as the holiday weekend approaches. (Want a discount on tickets? Use code BB2024 to save $20 off $200 or more at Vivid Seats.)
Weekends With Adele runs from May 17 until June 15 and resumes in October through the end of November.
Adele’s Germany shows will take place between Aug. 2 and Aug. 31. Resale tickets are available on StubHub and Vivid Seats for around $100 to $150 for the cheapest tickets, but most of the seats are priced closer to the $300-$500 range, and over $1,000 for some shows.
The “Hello” singer will travel overseas for a round of summer shows at the Open Air Arena in Munich, Germany, Adele announced in January.
“So a few months ago I got a call about a summer run of shows,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’ve been content as anything with my shows in London’s Hyde Park and my residency in Vegas, so I hadn’t had any other plans. However, I was too curious not to follow up and indulge in the idea – a one off, bespoke pop-up stadium designed around whatever show I want to put on?”
