Days after Diddy’s legal team scored a win by having evidence prosecutors collected from his prison cell tossed from his case, they’re now accusing prosecutors of editing the infamous video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway to make the incident seem worse than what it was.
According to TMZ, Diddy is claiming that the prosecutors showed the judge overseeing his case an edited version of the video in which he put hands and feet on Cassie back in 2016. Diddy says that prosecutors did so in order to keep the judge from granting him bail and insists that prosecutors edited the sequence of events in order to paint Diddy as more dangerous than he actually is. This is coming from the man who allegedly blew up Kid Cudi’s car because of Cassie, but we digress.
Per TMZ:
They claim the government has the more complete version of that surveillance video — presumably the version the world saw when it was released — but, instead, tweaked the order of events to offer their “most powerful evidence of danger and obstruction.”
Diddy insists the video shows no evidence of a “freak-off,” but rather, a “domestic dispute in which he ran down the hall of the hotel to recover his clothes and cellphone.”
As for some of the violence depicted in that video, Diddy says he didn’t “drag” Cassie down the hall, nor did he throw a vase at her. He claims he only threw the contents of the vase at Cassie.
Diddy’s really going for a Hail Mary with this claim.
While the whole world saw the same exact video, Diddy says it’s simply a “sad glimpse into a decade-long consensual relationship,” and doesn’t prove any sex trafficking or freak offs were taking place.
While the judge considers Diddy’s latest argument, the Bad Boy founder will remain behind bars in hopes that he’ll get to see the light of day before his trial gets underway in 2025.
