The disturbing video featuring Diddy apparently assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, has prompted a formal statement from REVOLT, from which he stepped down as a chairman in November 2023, and for which he sold his final shares back in March 2024.
Taking to its Instagram on Saturday (May 18), the company made clear that it supports victims of domestic violence, regardless of its former ties to the Bad Boy exec.

“We are deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent video circulating of our former chairman, Sean “Diddy” Combs,” the statement began. “Even with his recent separation from REVOLT, it is still our duty to address this matter, and recognize the direct impact it has on our staff, our audience, and the culture we represent.”
The statement continues: “REVOLT stands in solidarity with all who have been a victim of abuse and remain committed to upholding the values and integrity our community expects from us. We vehemently stand against any form of domestic abuse, and will always be a fearless advocate for truth and accountability.”

The video in question was obtained by CNN on Friday (May 17), a man identified as the embattled mogul can be seen in the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, CA, running from his hotel room, wearing nothing but a towel.
The incident, which took place on March 5, 2016, then cuts to Diddy grabbing Cassie by the neck and throwing her to the floor. He then kicks her repeatedly, grabs her personal items away from her, then kicks her once again before running back to his hotel room.
The “Me & You” singer then tries to use a hotel phone to call for assistance, which prompts the Bad Boy mogul to once again shove her down to the ground. He’s then seen sitting on a hotel chair, still wearing nothing but his towel, and throws what appears to be a vase in her direction.
According to TMZ, there does not seem to be a police report linked to the 2016 incident.

The LAPD also tells the outlet due to the 3-year statute of limitations that apply to crimes that took place before January 2020, they will not be investigating the assault or looking to file charges.
