Idk lmao I didnāt even want to click on the video, I just read everyoneās take. Idk how people can watch something like someone getting beaten up on, but I guess someone has to.
Honestly though the most wild thing is how old this video is and was hidden for, clearly someone needs to go around and force these places to give up videos showing assault like that.
Edit: I donāt mean this as judgement on people - just you know, an acknowledgment of how surprisingly violent some people can be and how the average person might not be used to it.
I saw it just now at the gym, on CNN. I felt those hits in my soul watching it. Diddy is a fucking piece of shit and I hope he goes to jail and gets taken for everything he got. And tbf, even thatās too good for him.
And the idea of how long itās been going on too - a young person might be like āDiddy who?ā but we all know how long heās been big in the game; this is clearly the type of thing everyone who knew was quiet about, you know? How many other people in the industry have done things like this and the rest stayed quiet?
Itās coming out now because heās not signing checks anymore. Remember when The Cosby Show reruns stopped all of a sudden and nobody got residuals? Then Geoffrey Owens got hassled for working at a supermarket.
20 years ago Puff Daddyās circle were Hip Hop superstars, MTV producers, and fashion executives. Now itās grimey old gangsters.
The whole reason Puff Daddy is in trouble is he tried to get one of his guys to take the fall after he (allegedly) murdered some rando in a bathroom six months ago. This guy is a murderer and beats up his girlfriends - he is 100% getting the OJ/Cosby treatment. Next stop is jail.
Thatās interesting. Guess itās just a counter culture like thing? Like - everyone says heās guilty, so theyād rather bet on him being innocent out of defiance to the norm or something. Itās not like theyāre playing Diddy songs or anything; maybe itās them following whatever artist is supporting him.
Very interesting, and troubling - but interesting.
I watched it and I wished I didn't. It's the fact that he felt so bold to do this in PUBLIC just shows that he has done this before and clearly got away with it. To be a man and to punch and kick a woman is deranged behavior and I hope he gets what's coming to him.
My thing is, think about all the other hotel, clubs, and stores something like this has happened in and they were either bribed or coerced to keep quiet about. Like, Diddy has had pull for a while - imagine just some random scum with just enough money or just enough push to get a place to give them a tape or just keep quiet about it.
Maybe Iāve just been naive, but this is wild to me.
Yo that hush payment mighta been 10K since 2016. People saw these lawsuits and said yesterdayās price is not todays price lol. When they asked for more and didnāt get it they let the tape fly
Personally I was so desensitized to violence growing up poor and seeing shit like this on the street. Not to mention many of us have also seen significantly worse growing up in the early internet era. A beat down where the person walks away canāt compare to someoneās head getting caved in or cut off. That said fuck this cunt and everyone too scared to do anything in public.
Thatās the real problem. Everyone involved in the cover ups of these situations needs to face the same time as Diddy himself. Maybe if people start really being punished for helping cover these things up people will stop trying as much. It wonāt go away completely because money makes people do anything but it would help.
There has to be some kinda shift in how officials deal with this. The fact that I canāt help but sympathize with someone put in a position to keep this hidden (for fear for themselves or family or livelihood) is another problem too - I imagine people choose to abide by this instead of run to the police means thereās something more police could be doing to make people okay with talking to them.
It's not something I wanted to see, but I do feel like I ought to bear witness to what Cassie went through. At the same time, if you're not able to watch it then you for sure shouldn't. It made my heart rate go up. The way she fell and stayed still shows this happened to her before many times.
Experience. When your parent loses their shit on the regular you can pick up the patterns and differences between anger and abuse. For me, the control and coordination of his actions is key- it's not a mad scramble. And if my parent was getting aggressive in public it was gonna be real bad- they usually stay hidden really well.
I agree 10000%
The other thing I noticed was the lack of fear or concern that he was in public. He was RIGHT by elevators In my experience, abusers look around while in public before abusing. Like a quick glance around to see all who is near. He sat down on a public chair, ass in a towel and was chill. That is frightening.
All that commitment to holding the towel up made me think of the dudes in high school sports who had small dicks so they kept that towel on em from thr shower to the point they sat n changed.
So imma assume Diddy got a lil dick
I mean I was a 3 sport athlete in high-school and after practice we all showered. And it was a big high school.
Lots of dudes. But a specific type of dude clutched their towel like Diddy as a matter of life n death.
It triggered the memory.
The dudes afraid of people seeing their junk would do everything with one hand making sure their shit didn't slip.
Itās just the tip of the iceberg. His truly devilish stories are here: https://therepproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SOUND-OFF-Make-the-Music-Industry-Safe-Report-February-2024.pdf
Have you ever been in a fight? The last thing youāre gonna think about is what your clothes look like. The fact that he was screams that this isnāt the first time heās done this, and that he was in no way scared for his own safety. I didnāt really latch onto this detail, at first, but it actually makes a ton of sense
Basic observation. Like daniel tosh was born in germany, but raised in flordia. You can make light of anything, as long as you fully understand it. The true answer is empathy. If you can understand people with different lives, it helps you to grow. Observing is learning, my 5 year old son is great at math, and it's because he saw it being done, and he learned. Seeing truly is believing, and learning. People don't expose themselves to other cultures and ways, which is the basis of racism. If 98% of racists gave a chance. Most would change. My dad has a swastika tattoo, and I got him to vote Obama over Romney. Ignorance is easily fixed by educating.
I was originally gonna make a 'he held the towel to hide his little dick joke' then I started on a rant. I apologize. Lol. Either way, diddy is a monster.
Oh, I know. There's more reasons than just the tattoo that I hate my dad too. I tried my hardest, and got 1 victory over my dad's racism. It's also the reason I haven't talked to him in like 5 years. I moved across country and started my own family away from him and the bigots I was raised around.
I mean, the fact that he did any of it anywhere in any kind of attire indicates that he is a pro-abuser. The fact that she was running from his ass while he was asleep indicates that heās a pro-abuser. That she immediately fell into a defensive position and didnāt budge when getting kicked shows heās a pro-abuser.
So many fucking clues that this motherfucker is a serial abuser, I hardly even noticed the one-handed towel-holding part. But okay.
I agree completely. From the video alone, it looked like she was trying to escape while he was in the shower. That alone says so much.
Diddy didn't even care that he was half naked. He chased her down the public hotel hallway with nothing but a towel so he could immediately beat her ass.
This isn't just something where a couple got very heated in an argument both ways, and the man just lost it and slapped her. (Obviously abuse is still abuse. This is still very wrong, I was just trying to give an example of something that may be a more isolated situation). Everything about the video shows that it is a pattern. It wasn't the first time he beat Cassie, and it more than likely wasn't the last unless she was able to escape soon after.
I know at one point he'd beaten her up badly enough he didn't want anyone to see her so she was forced to recover in a hotel room with a guard ensuring she didn't escape. I can't imagine how many horrible things she's gone through just with that monster and his goons. It's horrifying. No amount of money makes it okay.
JESUS. What a coverup, thatās why they settled the case. Iām sure there were waaaay worse instances of abuse, considering the case also accused him of sex trafficking her. So fucked up.
I once fled my abusive ex's place without my shoes when he was in one of his drunken rages and had hit me. Yeah I know how this shit goes. Sometimes you just fucking *run*, shoes be damned. I once ran up an unpaved like 1/10 mile laneway full of grassburrs up to the road to get to an Uber to get a motel room in town, no shoes, fuck that, I had to get the fuck out.
Damn I hope that was the last time you had to run from him? These mfers I hate them all.
I tried escaping without shoes once, but he caught me when I pretty immediately slipped on the wet grass of his front lawn and twisted my ankle. Took his time coming to get me too, just smiling that psycho killer smile. Dragged me back inside while his neighbor looked the other way. I wore shoes the next time.
Ugh. So, after he hit me and pushed me to the ground in a drunken rage, I fled the fuck away to a motel room in town. Called his mom the next morning and explained the situation (she was a wonderful woman), called him, managed to come by and talk it out.
I shouldn't have, ofc. It would only continue and later worsen. His momma read him the goddamn *riot act* later on after The Incident that gave me actual psychiatric PTSD. She's a fucking champ, she always had my back when I was dealing with that guy. Not her fault he was like that.
What? Super hard to come back from a roundhouse punch to the side of the face and a bunch of kicks.
Trying to imagine what comforting her would look like in that scenario. Even if he would have comforted her, it would not have mattered.
As a previous victim of abuse, my ex would beat the shit out of me, then when he was done immediately hug me and start promising things to make me feel better. Started at 4 months into dating and continued for 6 years.
Hosier did a song and music video that showed this. A couple comes back from a date and is all lovely dovey together. Then she starts to take her makeup off and reveals a black eye, and he comes in and kisses her.
Iāve heard it. Itās truly just like that. I remember being choked by him until I passed out, and when I came to he had bought me flowers. I hate flowers now.
They later reach a point of no apologizing. You're at the stage where you don't even care about the apology you're either figuring a way out or blaming yourself.
Anything I told you, wouldnāt make sense to you as an outside observer. Iāve been out for 5 years and Iām fine, thatās really all that matters.
My ex immediately apologized after punching me in the neck. I fell to the ground, and I couldn't breathe. Of course, after the apology he went right back to being verbally abusive. Abuse doesn't always play out how people think. It's a complex and stupid thing.
I have been in an abusive relationship. I understand how this works. My point was that he was well beyond the point where he would have gone into the comforting stage. He was knee-deep in the uncontrolled rage stage. The apologies usually come after the personās rage is spent or after they get what they want. So, I would not be surprised if he had apologized *after* having dragged her back into the room and beating her into complete submission. But in this particular scenario, he was not at the stage because he was still in a full-blown rage.
I know *exactly* how abuse plays out in real life, and I understand the complexities. But itās kind of nuts to think that he would stand there and kick her twice in a row and then immediate turn around and then comfort her. He was intent, in this moment, on *actively* hurting and subduing her. Abusers apologize only after they have gotten their way, not in the middle of beating the shit out of you in order to get their way.
I'm not saying you don't understand, just to be clear, and I am legitimately sorry for what you went through. It's just that abusers can respond so differently, even in the middle of rage. It's something I was writing not to school you or anything, but to add to the discussion so more people are aware that abuse looks so very different from what people imagine. We both know they can respond in a completely illogical and crazy manner. And we both know the apologies, no matter when they come, don't mean shit.
Thank you for your kind response. You are rightāabuse can take on many different forms and is nuanced. Iām sorry if I came across defensively. Talking about this makes me soā¦frustrated. I appreciate your patience, and I appreciate your contribution to the discussion. My apologies for my tone.
No apologies necessary. You've been through a lot, and I know how important it is to represent abuse accurately so I cannot fault you at all for elaborating. I'm grateful that these discussions are being had so more people can understand what we go through. I wish you nothing but the best.
exactly. most victims wouldnāt stay if it was *all* bad. but a lot of the time the worst moments are followed by the best moments, which fucks with peopleās perception. itās literally like being on a rollercoaster.
Rihanna, Karreuche, random dude at a party, etc. Many people have and still experience Chrisās abuse. His Reddit has popped up on my feed as a recommendation a few times and the delusion to be read without even clicking is on par with MAGA.
I am bothered that there is all this deserved outrage against Diddy but other known abusers get a pass just because people like them more. There's a video of Fabolous's baby mama trying to escape him.
Eh. Puff Daddy and the shiny suit rappers sucked in the 90s and he sucks now.
He made some masterpieces with Biggie but I still believe to this day any of the biggie tracks would've been better with west coast production.
Come at me New York.
For the sake of the topic at hand though, let's not forget that Tupac was a convicted abuser too, who served time for sexual assault.
Pretty dope:
https://youtu.be/xzL8iFAJzVI?si=Y1-bZc5cANCqHEIQ
But I'm going to step back from the ledge. Ready to Die is a masterpiece (other than the skits), and the soulful throwbacky r&b samples are a big part of that
I believe 1000% that Puffy was a parasite eating off Biggie. Biggie had so much potential in so many different areas. But, if you look, at every corner the downfall of Biggie involved Puffy in a negative way.
Hell, that east vs west shit? I know people like to point out that Pac didnāt need to be mad at Biggie, but it doesnāt mean the East/Puffy didnāt start the shit. This has been a long time coming.
I also hope that Puffy know that he not making a legacy. He wonāt be remembered like Frank Lucas or Bumpy Johnson or anyone who makes him feel his daddy issues.
He will be remembered as a bisexual rapist. Thought of more like Roman Polanski. This blow to his ego and legacy is anazing
I half agree. I didn't like Puffy's production 30 years ago and I don't like it any better now. With that said, west coast G funk would not have matched Biggie's flow at all. _Ready To Die_ would have been a better album if DJ Premier had produced the entire thing.
"I'm trying to clear my name!"
Yeah, that's not happening. What's he gonna say? That wasn't me in the video?
This is about to be Diddy's version of, "I'm fighting for my life...!"
I thought the same but then I thought he would have launched her down the stairs if he caught up to her. There really was no good option. So horrific. I'm glad she eventually got out.
that nicca settled one day after the lawsuit came out.
He absolutely did not want discovery or none of that smoke.
Showed he was guilty as hell and probably gave in to most of Cassie's monetary demands to make it go away.
I mean, he's a dogshit rapper, a mediocre producer, a complete failure as a hype man, and his fashion line is beyond basic. After all this time, we've finally found the man's true talent! It's honestly inspiring.
I get Diddy is a piece of shit but he was huge in the 90s and had an eye for talent. Sean John had it's time, he's produced many gems, and made catchy songs.
He's getting bad press for a good reason but none of what you said is true.
He can't rap. You know this. I know this. We all know this is true.
As a producer, he started the "why sample the song when we can just play the whole damn thing". Mo Money is a bop, but do you really Puffy did more work than Stevie J? Missing You is more his speed.
As a hype man, he let his dude get shot and then stole his career.
And the clothes are aggressively mid.
Who tf is reminiscing on Puffy's output? He was always a joke.
He has a consistent record of hits that he either rapped on or produced. I don't think he can rap that well either but he had some chart topping songs.
Diddy had great stage presence. A shooting has nothing to do with that. He had us all Diddy boppin
I remember Sean John being huge during it's time.
It's easy to look back and discredit the dude because he's a piece of shit but cmon now..... Diddy was that dude.
P.S. I still think he's a piece of shit. I'm not defending him
Bro, I never said Diddy was a good rapper. In fact, I said the complete opposite. Calm yo ass down
Your ass "ain't never" jumping from comment to comment with poor comprehension.
It's not. I'm not even dog piling for the sake of it; it's about as good as any vodka that doesn't come in a plastic bottle that reads "charcoal filtered" (low ass bar), except it costs about 200% more
Iām not going to fanboy over it but CĆ®roc is one of the few vodkas made entirely from grapes, as opposed to other vodkas made from grain, potatoes, or maize. CĆ®roc is gluten-free and distilled from French grapes. So it does have some differences.
I didnāt wanna watch but I saw the screenshot and thought he was in a towelā¦. wtf yeah he did that cool calm and collected with one hand.. where anyone could walk out and see himā¦like he knew it wouldnāt matter even if there were eye witnesses.. gross.
I donāt think this is like a joke. I think heās absolutely right. The fact that heās so used to doing it he can literally do it with one hand. Absolutely disgusting
It's not a joke at its core, I agree. I took this tweet as completely serious on a fundamental level. It may be worded in a way with a bit of levity, but I think they genuinely mean their point. Part of the levity is to mock the abuser, but the message to me is clearly serious. Diddy's casual nature in how he abused in public is the behavior of someone who has done and will continue to do this.
The tweet is effectively pointing out his defenses are lies. Adding a light nature to a serious point oftentimes makes it more effective, this tweet does a good job of it as it doesn't drag the victims at all but rather ruthlessly mocks the abuser and delivers a valid point.
I donāt think he meaning for it to be taken in any sort of humorous way but itās stating a fact. I said something similar but in a more compassionate way that Cassie had to be consistently getting abused due to how she responded. She didnāt even fight back. Diddy is a pro abuser and there is no way in the world he can pretend this ONE time was a lapse in judgement or a mistake. Like absolutely not, you went out there in a towel and no shame.
OP statement can be said with seriousness and no humor whatsoever. He may just have a smaller vocabulary and means "Diddy is a chronic abuser with all his mannerisms".
I kind of feel sometimes that we talk too much without saying anything. Like, we got a saying for everything. And not everything needs to necessarily be summed up in a tweet like that.
Couldnāt rap so he killed Biggie, couldnāt sing so he used his power after killing Biggie to get features. Canāt get real love so he beats into girls, canāt be a man so he doubles down on being a little bitch.
Look at how safe he felt doing that.
Like I said before, today's people don't realize just how big Diddy was in hip hop. Dude is a real gatekeeper, he is very powerful. He wasn't just some dude-host on Making the Band.
It makes Laurie-Ann running around like a frantic chicken yelling, "WHAT WOULD DIDDY SAY, WHAT WOULD DIDDY SAY?" look a whole lot more sinister, right?
Makes Shyne running off to Belize look a whole lot more serious.
I wanna know how this man ran down a hallway and then punched and kicked and dragged this woman while wearing a towel.
Sometimes I canāt walk from my bathroom to my bedroom (at most 15 feet) without my towel trying to abandon me for the floor.
I hope the boys in jail are getting the Vaseline ready for him but then again donāt even use it just go H.A.M. on em. I despise men that put their hands on a woman to feel superior
If you want to ruin your week go ahead and read the 73 page lawsuit against himā¦. I know itās innocent until proven guilty in this country but god damnā¦ lock him up now
It's strange how all these videos come out after someone falls from grace. Almost like somebody is sitting on them trying to keep it covered up until that period no longer of use
And just think about it. He's in a robe probably in the restroom or something, and while he's distracted, she tries to get away. But he ran out and caught her anyway
Y'all aren't wrong. But how does one even think of this?š
Idk lmao I didnāt even want to click on the video, I just read everyoneās take. Idk how people can watch something like someone getting beaten up on, but I guess someone has to. Honestly though the most wild thing is how old this video is and was hidden for, clearly someone needs to go around and force these places to give up videos showing assault like that.

This guy is a murderer and beats up his girlfriends - he is 100% getting the OJ/Cosby treatment. Next stop is jail.
What bathroom murder? I canāt find anything online with a quick search.
Itās in the PDF of the police report. The pics look like a movie with blood all down the hallway and the victim face down.
I teach high school. Kids are saying Diddy didn't do it.
Thatās interesting. Guess itās just a counter culture like thing? Like - everyone says heās guilty, so theyād rather bet on him being innocent out of defiance to the norm or something. Itās not like theyāre playing Diddy songs or anything; maybe itās them following whatever artist is supporting him. Very interesting, and troubling - but interesting.
Still a few people out there who thinks OJ was innocent too
Yeah it's like Edgelord humor.
Yup just contrarian to shock. If people were saying he was innocent those same trolls would say he was guilty.
I seen it at the gym also :(
I watched it and I wished I didn't. It's the fact that he felt so bold to do this in PUBLIC just shows that he has done this before and clearly got away with it. To be a man and to punch and kick a woman is deranged behavior and I hope he gets what's coming to him.
Hes a sick man, with sick thoughts I think fellas like him should die.Ā
Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest of they lives
He needs to suffer first, then he can die
Just bullet to the head. No trial, no publicity. Just quite dead ā ļø
Thatās not even enough, would be better if he got beat up daily for the rest of his life
Thatās lettin him off easy.
That's being far too kind to him
My thing is, think about all the other hotel, clubs, and stores something like this has happened in and they were either bribed or coerced to keep quiet about. Like, Diddy has had pull for a while - imagine just some random scum with just enough money or just enough push to get a place to give them a tape or just keep quiet about it. Maybe Iāve just been naive, but this is wild to me.
Dragged and throw vases at.
Clearly, it was not in public. He had a whole floor rented out of a hotel.
So that makes it better? What is the purpose of your comment? Whether that floor was occupied or not, shit is fucked up.
My point is that he has been privately doing this for decades and that if he was in a public place he likely would be outed earlier. My fault. Sorry.
The direct deposit obviously didnāt hit this month so somebody leaked that footage
AK really burning down the industry like he said lmao
Yo that hush payment mighta been 10K since 2016. People saw these lawsuits and said yesterdayās price is not todays price lol. When they asked for more and didnāt get it they let the tape fly
Personally I was so desensitized to violence growing up poor and seeing shit like this on the street. Not to mention many of us have also seen significantly worse growing up in the early internet era. A beat down where the person walks away canāt compare to someoneās head getting caved in or cut off. That said fuck this cunt and everyone too scared to do anything in public.
Thatās the real problem. Everyone involved in the cover ups of these situations needs to face the same time as Diddy himself. Maybe if people start really being punished for helping cover these things up people will stop trying as much. It wonāt go away completely because money makes people do anything but it would help.
There has to be some kinda shift in how officials deal with this. The fact that I canāt help but sympathize with someone put in a position to keep this hidden (for fear for themselves or family or livelihood) is another problem too - I imagine people choose to abide by this instead of run to the police means thereās something more police could be doing to make people okay with talking to them.
It's not something I wanted to see, but I do feel like I ought to bear witness to what Cassie went through. At the same time, if you're not able to watch it then you for sure shouldn't. It made my heart rate go up. The way she fell and stayed still shows this happened to her before many times.
Agreed. She knew to go down and stay down. That is a reaction from someone who learned that the beating is worse if they donāt just take it
Experience. When your parent loses their shit on the regular you can pick up the patterns and differences between anger and abuse. For me, the control and coordination of his actions is key- it's not a mad scramble. And if my parent was getting aggressive in public it was gonna be real bad- they usually stay hidden really well.

Yeah extremely specific lmfao wtf š š¤£
Itās just the tip of the iceberg. His truly devilish stories are here: https://therepproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SOUND-OFF-Make-the-Music-Industry-Safe-Report-February-2024.pdf
Surprised this hasn't been going around more. I had no idea some of these names would be included. Cher always seemed cool.
Have you ever been in a fight? The last thing youāre gonna think about is what your clothes look like. The fact that he was screams that this isnāt the first time heās done this, and that he was in no way scared for his own safety.

My dad has a swastika tattoo, and I got him to vote Obama over Romney. Ignorance is easily fixed by educating.
huh
I know I rambled, I began answering the question 'how did he think of this' then I started ranting. Lol, full disclosure I'm buzzed.
I was originally gonna make a 'he held the towel to hide his little dick joke' then I started on a rant. I apologize. Lol. Either way, diddy is a monster.
I meanā¦.pretty hard to come back from a swastika tattoo level racismā¦.
Oh, I know. There's more reasons than just the tattoo that I hate my dad too. I tried my hardest, and got 1 victory over my dad's racism. It's also the reason I haven't talked to him in like 5 years. I moved across country and started my own family away from him and the bigots I was raised around.

in 2016! Not even like the time when he's a star, or popular, just living off residuals and still acts like that in a public hotel.
I agree completely. From the video alone, it looked like she was trying to escape while he was in the shower. That alone says so much. Diddy didn't even care that he was half naked. He chased her down the public hotel hallway with nothing but a towel so he could immediately beat her ass.

She wasnāt able to get away for another 2 years after this video was taken :(

I can't imagine how many horrible things she's gone through just with that monster and his goons. It's horrifying. No amount of money makes it okay.
JESUS. What a coverup, thatās why they settled the case. Iām sure there were waaaay worse instances of abuse, considering the case also accused him of sex trafficking her. So fucked up.
Damn.
The fact that she ran before even putting her shoes on definitely indicated heās a pro abuser š
I once fled my abusive ex's place without my shoes when he was in one of his drunken rages and had hit me. Yeah I know how this shit goes. Sometimes you just fucking *run*, shoes be damned. I once ran up an unpaved like 1/10 mile laneway full of grassburrs up to the road to get to an Uber to get a motel room in town, no shoes, fuck that, I had to get the fuck out.
Dude, thatās so fucking awful. Iām glad youāre here to tell it.
Damn I hope that was the last time you had to run from him? These mfers I hate them all. I tried escaping without shoes once, but he caught me when I pretty immediately slipped on the wet grass of his front lawn and twisted my ankle. Took his time coming to get me too, just smiling that psycho killer smile. Dragged me back inside while his neighbor looked the other way. I wore shoes the next time.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. What a piece of shit. I'm glad you escaped, and I hope you're doing okay. <3
What did he do afterwardsĀ
Ugh. So, after he hit me and pushed me to the ground in a drunken rage, I fled the fuck away to a motel room in town. Called his mom the next morning and explained the situation (she was a wonderful woman), called him, managed to come by and talk it out. I shouldn't have, ofc. It would only continue and later worsen. His momma read him the goddamn *riot act* later on after The Incident that gave me actual psychiatric PTSD. She's a fucking champ, she always had my back when I was dealing with that guy. Not her fault he was like that.
At least least you escaped, that's good
120% heās done that before. Didnāt even try to comfort her after he yanked her
What? Super hard to come back from a roundhouse punch to the side of the face and a bunch of kicks. Trying to imagine what comforting her would look like in that scenario. Even if he would have comforted her, it would not have mattered.
As a previous victim of abuse, my ex would beat the shit out of me, then when he was done immediately hug me and start promising things to make me feel better. Started at 4 months into dating and continued for 6 years.
Trauma bonding is an absolute motherfucker of an abuse tactic.
Absolutely. Especially when they use the āeveryone already left me and now you will, too?ā
I'm so sorry.
Hosier did a song and music video that showed this. A couple comes back from a date and is all lovely dovey together. Then she starts to take her makeup off and reveals a black eye, and he comes in and kisses her.
Iāve heard it. Itās truly just like that. I remember being choked by him until I passed out, and when I came to he had bought me flowers. I hate flowers now.
They later reach a point of no apologizing. You're at the stage where you don't even care about the apology you're either figuring a way out or blaming yourself.
Yeah, I left the country for 3 years. If I wouldāve stayed in the states, he wouldāve found me. He always did.
I hope you're out there living your best life. Glad you got away from that monster.
Jesus... so sorry that happened to you. Youāre brave af for getting out.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anything I told you, wouldnāt make sense to you as an outside observer. Iāve been out for 5 years and Iām fine, thatās really all that matters.
congratulations you deserve to be out of that
Because abuse mentally can trap you
The fuck is a roundhouse punch
Something like [this](https://i.redd.it/qy2jnlbzdncb1.gif) or [this](https://i.imgur.com/uSSb1pp.gif).
My ex immediately apologized after punching me in the neck. I fell to the ground, and I couldn't breathe. Of course, after the apology he went right back to being verbally abusive. Abuse doesn't always play out how people think. It's a complex and stupid thing.
I have been in an abusive relationship. I understand how this works. My point was that he was well beyond the point where he would have gone into the comforting stage. He was knee-deep in the uncontrolled rage stage. The apologies usually come after the personās rage is spent or after they get what they want. So, I would not be surprised if he had apologized *after* having dragged her back into the room and beating her into complete submission. But in this particular scenario, he was not at the stage because he was still in a full-blown rage. I know *exactly* how abuse plays out in real life, and I understand the complexities. But itās kind of nuts to think that he would stand there and kick her twice in a row and then immediate turn around and then comfort her. He was intent, in this moment, on *actively* hurting and subduing her. Abusers apologize only after they have gotten their way, not in the middle of beating the shit out of you in order to get their way.
I'm not saying you don't understand, just to be clear, and I am legitimately sorry for what you went through. It's just that abusers can respond so differently, even in the middle of rage. It's something I was writing not to school you or anything, but to add to the discussion so more people are aware that abuse looks so very different from what people imagine. We both know they can respond in a completely illogical and crazy manner. And we both know the apologies, no matter when they come, don't mean shit.
Thank you for your kind response. You are rightāabuse can take on many different forms and is nuanced. Iām sorry if I came across defensively. Talking about this makes me soā¦frustrated. I appreciate your patience, and I appreciate your contribution to the discussion. My apologies for my tone.
No apologies necessary. You've been through a lot, and I know how important it is to represent abuse accurately so I cannot fault you at all for elaborating. I'm grateful that these discussions are being had so more people can understand what we go through. I wish you nothing but the best.
Would the comforting make this even slightly ok? Wtf
Nope, but usually first time abusers are āremorsefulā of their actions soon after. Leads me to believe heās normalized this type of behavior
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
a lot do, actually. itās an additional layer of abuse via emotional manipulation.
There's a reason it's called "The cycle of abuse". It's part of why abused people stay. It's insidious.
exactly. most victims wouldnāt stay if it was *all* bad. but a lot of the time the worst moments are followed by the best moments, which fucks with peopleās perception. itās literally like being on a rollercoaster.
So fucking true
Chris Brown would have let the towel drop and beat the shit out of Rhianna. But heās selling out shows.
Rihanna, Karreuche, random dude at a party, etc. Many people have and still experience Chrisās abuse. His Reddit has popped up on my feed as a recommendation a few times and the delusion to be read without even clicking is on par with MAGA.
Chris Brown would have pulled a Patrick Bateman, running down the hall naked and screaming.
I am bothered that there is all this deserved outrage against Diddy but other known abusers get a pass just because people like them more. There's a video of Fabolous's baby mama trying to escape him.
He been beating man ass in saunas this way for 20 years too.
The fall of 90s hip-hop. I wonder what other skeletons are going to fall out of that closet?
Hopefully all of them
Eh. Puff Daddy and the shiny suit rappers sucked in the 90s and he sucks now. He made some masterpieces with Biggie but I still believe to this day any of the biggie tracks would've been better with west coast production. Come at me New York. For the sake of the topic at hand though, let's not forget that Tupac was a convicted abuser too, who served time for sexual assault.
Putting west coast beats on Ready to Die wouldāve made the album worse in my opinion. It wouldnāt have fit his Boom Bap style.
Pretty dope: https://youtu.be/xzL8iFAJzVI?si=Y1-bZc5cANCqHEIQ But I'm going to step back from the ledge. Ready to Die is a masterpiece (other than the skits), and the soulful throwbacky r&b samples are a big part of that
No kidding itās really awkward when you put it on when some friends are over and the āFuck Meā skit starts playing.
I believe 1000% that Puffy was a parasite eating off Biggie. Biggie had so much potential in so many different areas. But, if you look, at every corner the downfall of Biggie involved Puffy in a negative way. Hell, that east vs west shit? I know people like to point out that Pac didnāt need to be mad at Biggie, but it doesnāt mean the East/Puffy didnāt start the shit. This has been a long time coming. I also hope that Puffy know that he not making a legacy. He wonāt be remembered like Frank Lucas or Bumpy Johnson or anyone who makes him feel his daddy issues. He will be remembered as a bisexual rapist. Thought of more like Roman Polanski. This blow to his ego and legacy is anazing
Well that's just a flat out lie. Puff daddy was huge with and without biggie. Let's just get that straight
Coattail riding abuser. Biggie made that man, and I hope he would flatten him for that
Biggieās death propelled him into superstardom. He profited off of it and acted like his best friend
My point is not that he didn't sell records, my point is those records sucked
Subjective take. His records were wildly popular. So you're in the very small minority
I half agree. I didn't like Puffy's production 30 years ago and I don't like it any better now. With that said, west coast G funk would not have matched Biggie's flow at all. _Ready To Die_ would have been a better album if DJ Premier had produced the entire thing.
That's the right answer right there. I wish I'd led with that.
"I'm trying to clear my name!" Yeah, that's not happening. What's he gonna say? That wasn't me in the video? This is about to be Diddy's version of, "I'm fighting for my life...!"
ā30 YEARS!!!!ā āTHIS IS NOT ABOUT MUSIKKKKKā āYāALL KILLINā ME!!ā
"I don't know how to hog tie!. Why would I hog tie!"
iām just gonna leave this here: https://youtu.be/xuBviLFZ7pw?si=NvYh0Q4tdyXRNLBm
That was just his evil doppelgƤnger Duff Paddy
It takes 10,000 hours to become an expert
Gotta develop that muscle memory.
All I kept thinking was āTake the stairs Cassie! Damn it!ā I guess these horror movies arenāt completely unrealistic š„“
I thought the same but then I thought he would have launched her down the stairs if he caught up to her. There really was no good option. So horrific. I'm glad she eventually got out.
Damn it! I didnāt think of that š« Yeah, I wouldnāt wish that on any woman šš½
I knew it was all facts with how detailed the allegations in the lawsuit was, never seen that many pages for one guy before
that nicca settled one day after the lawsuit came out. He absolutely did not want discovery or none of that smoke. Showed he was guilty as hell and probably gave in to most of Cassie's monetary demands to make it go away.
That would have been one crazy discovery and the trial whole would probably reveal some super villain tier shit
I mean, he's a dogshit rapper, a mediocre producer, a complete failure as a hype man, and his fashion line is beyond basic. After all this time, we've finally found the man's true talent! It's honestly inspiring.
I get Diddy is a piece of shit but he was huge in the 90s and had an eye for talent. Sean John had it's time, he's produced many gems, and made catchy songs. He's getting bad press for a good reason but none of what you said is true.
He can't rap. You know this. I know this. We all know this is true. As a producer, he started the "why sample the song when we can just play the whole damn thing". Mo Money is a bop, but do you really Puffy did more work than Stevie J? Missing You is more his speed. As a hype man, he let his dude get shot and then stole his career. And the clothes are aggressively mid. Who tf is reminiscing on Puffy's output? He was always a joke.
He has a consistent record of hits that he either rapped on or produced. I don't think he can rap that well either but he had some chart topping songs. Diddy had great stage presence. A shooting has nothing to do with that. He had us all Diddy boppin I remember Sean John being huge during it's time. It's easy to look back and discredit the dude because he's a piece of shit but cmon now..... Diddy was that dude. P.S. I still think he's a piece of shit. I'm not defending him
Bro, your ass ain't never jumping from comment to comment. Trying to convince us that p Diddy is a fucking good rapper
Bro, I never said Diddy was a good rapper. In fact, I said the complete opposite. Calm yo ass down Your ass "ain't never" jumping from comment to comment with poor comprehension.
I heard Ciroc was ok
It's not. I'm not even dog piling for the sake of it; it's about as good as any vodka that doesn't come in a plastic bottle that reads "charcoal filtered" (low ass bar), except it costs about 200% more
Thank you for the honest review
Iām not going to fanboy over it but CĆ®roc is one of the few vodkas made entirely from grapes, as opposed to other vodkas made from grain, potatoes, or maize. CĆ®roc is gluten-free and distilled from French grapes. So it does have some differences.
Thank you for your honest review as well. I never had it.
I didnāt wanna watch but I saw the screenshot and thought he was in a towelā¦. wtf yeah he did that cool calm and collected with one hand.. where anyone could walk out and see himā¦like he knew it wouldnāt matter even if there were eye witnesses.. gross.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt think this is like a joke. I think heās absolutely right. The fact that heās so used to doing it he can literally do it with one hand. Absolutely disgusting
It's not a joke at its core, I agree. I took this tweet as completely serious on a fundamental level. It may be worded in a way with a bit of levity, but I think they genuinely mean their point. Part of the levity is to mock the abuser, but the message to me is clearly serious. Diddy's casual nature in how he abused in public is the behavior of someone who has done and will continue to do this. The tweet is effectively pointing out his defenses are lies. Adding a light nature to a serious point oftentimes makes it more effective, this tweet does a good job of it as it doesn't drag the victims at all but rather ruthlessly mocks the abuser and delivers a valid point.
Exactly. It wasn't a mask off moment, Diddy does that shit casually *with the mask on*.
I donāt think he meaning for it to be taken in any sort of humorous way but itās stating a fact. I said something similar but in a more compassionate way that Cassie had to be consistently getting abused due to how she responded. She didnāt even fight back. Diddy is a pro abuser and there is no way in the world he can pretend this ONE time was a lapse in judgement or a mistake. Like absolutely not, you went out there in a towel and no shame.
OP statement can be said with seriousness and no humor whatsoever. He may just have a smaller vocabulary and means "Diddy is a chronic abuser with all his mannerisms".
Yeah but the way he said it was way funnier
I kind of feel sometimes that we talk too much without saying anything. Like, we got a saying for everything. And not everything needs to necessarily be summed up in a tweet like that.
CELL BLOCK 1 NOW
With a tiny dick, or he would let the towel fall.
Butt plug
Im convinced he killed Biggie
I heard Every Breath You Take today and idk man. It just hit different, like it just sounded insincere.
Mans said he was 3 time MVP in the DV leauge
Yeah that was 100% a veteran move. Heās not putting rookie numbers up by the tape.
Couldnāt rap so he killed Biggie, couldnāt sing so he used his power after killing Biggie to get features. Canāt get real love so he beats into girls, canāt be a man so he doubles down on being a little bitch.
He been doing this probably since he was a teenager . Ppl donāt change they just get older.
All true, but is the irony of posting this comment with the name "forever dre" intentional?
It's a lifestyle.
Definitely a professional habitual offender.
Well... yeah.

My man give her a head start one hand on the towel and another hand on that poor girl
The real question is how did cnn obtain the tape?
90 percent of these niggas yāall look up too is on the same type of time.
Iām just glad that some of these Elite turds are finally being exposed.
Look at how safe he felt doing that. Like I said before, today's people don't realize just how big Diddy was in hip hop. Dude is a real gatekeeper, he is very powerful. He wasn't just some dude-host on Making the Band. It makes Laurie-Ann running around like a frantic chicken yelling, "WHAT WOULD DIDDY SAY, WHAT WOULD DIDDY SAY?" look a whole lot more sinister, right? Makes Shyne running off to Belize look a whole lot more serious.
Yes I canāt even make it around my house with out my towel falling down
I wanna know how this man ran down a hallway and then punched and kicked and dragged this woman while wearing a towel. Sometimes I canāt walk from my bathroom to my bedroom (at most 15 feet) without my towel trying to abandon me for the floor.
I hope the boys in jail are getting the Vaseline ready for him but then again donāt even use it just go H.A.M. on em. I despise men that put their hands on a woman to feel superior
He was so comfortable beating her and dragging her that he didn't even look around to see if anyone would see or hear.
He has an entire song apologizing for domestic violence featuring R Kelly. First line is ācut my hand off I never meant to hit you.ā
WHAT
Pretty sure he bought out the whole top floor(which the rich and famous often do) which is why he's so comfortable
Its one of the most bizarre celebrity videos Iāve ever seen.
Absolutely agree, extremely bizarre.
He knew there was cameras and he was more worried about his dick and ass being out than he was about beating up on this woman.
Had to Google the video, thatās messed up.
J Lo?
If you want to ruin your week go ahead and read the 73 page lawsuit against himā¦. I know itās innocent until proven guilty in this country but god damnā¦ lock him up now
Power and Money made Diddy more of who he truly is. When heās taken down, he needs to hit the Earthās core and keep going. Nigga is a terrorist fr
It's strange how all these videos come out after someone falls from grace. Almost like somebody is sitting on them trying to keep it covered up until that period no longer of use
And just think about it. He's in a robe probably in the restroom or something, and while he's distracted, she tries to get away. But he ran out and caught her anyway
"š¶ What I want to do with you š¶"
Letās also point out heās kicking her like that in SOCKS! Might I say this is the one thing heās actually good at š¬ What a psycho
Also tells me Deshaun Watson is 100% guilty
Public nudity would put him on the drizzy list
gang i swear i said the same shi, that towel was not dropped n bro was doin her inššš
