Diddy’s Defense Alleges CNN Altered 2016 Assault Video Ahead of Trial

Sean Combs' legal team claims CNN manipulated hotel footage of him assaulting Cassie Ventura, while CNN denies the allegations and maintains the original footage is intact.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' defense team has accused CNN of altering a 2016 hotel surveillance video showing him assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
The defense alleges that CNN covered the time stamp, sped up the footage to misrepresent events, and used editing software to modify the video before providing it to the court.
CNN has strongly denied the claims, stating that the footage was not altered and that the original copy remains with the source who provided it to the network.
The video is a key piece of evidence in Combs' upcoming May 5 trial, where he faces charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and forced labor.
Cassie's attorney has criticized the defense's attempt to exclude the video, asserting that it accurately depicts the events and should be admitted as evidence.
