A 2016 surveillance video obtained exclusively by CNN shows Sean “Diddy” Combs grab, shove, drag and kick his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura during an altercation that matches allegations in a now-settled federal lawsuit filed by Ventura in November.

Jesus fucking christ, how the fuck does he not go to jail for that? Civil lawsuit isn't nearly enough for that. Hell, aside from the clear assault that's getting close to illegal confinement when he dragged her back to his hotel room.

EDIT: I just read the back-story to this. A) The crime is now past the statute of limitations, so the state can't prosecute for it. B) The reason why the tape didn't coming out before now is Sean Combs bought the tape from the hotel to prevent it from getting out. That just feels like obstruction of justice or something. It probably isn't, though.
- 💲💵💲💵💲
- No war but the class war.
  
  Y'all act like poor fucks beating the shit out of their wives/lovers don't get away with it all the time.
  
  Not everything is a class war.
- OJ died free and he obviously killed his wife. Justice is just a word
  
  "This just in. Murder is legal in the state of California!"
  
  Lol
  
  I was under the impression that the general consensus is that his son was the killer, but OJ didn't want to give him up.
- Jesus fucking christ, how the fuck does he not go to jail for that?
  
  If the victim doesn't report the crime, or doesn't cooperate with the police after reporting, the DA most of the time won't press charges.
  
  If the defendant isn't poor you mean
It’s insane that it’s taken THIS long for this guy to fall from grace.
- He had fallen ages ago, people with to much money just can hide themselves from punishment.
  
  Reminder that Chris Brown still has a career.
  
  R Kelly only got put away fairly recently and that guy married a 15 year old girl back in the 90s.
yeah i'll choose bear on this one
Man at this point I'd be like "can we drop the nickname, this is serious shit."

But he's the one who decided to call him self Diddy. That's on him.
appears to show the rapper, producer and business mogul

Completely unnecessary context setting for the second sentence, CNN. We know who he is.
- I couldn't name most rappers, even popular ones. Just not an interest for me. If you'd given me his name without context, I wouldn't have known what he does.
  
  thats so cool
  
  Congratulations.
- Yeah, they shouldn't waste so much digital ink explaining things to people who might not know about them. The digital ink industry is almost solely responsible for the destruction of the digital lemur's habitat.
Wow, what a piece of shit. I have never felt the need to physically assault any of my partners. I'm so anti-violence that it's a funny inside joke that my partner and I are going to beat each other up with me complaining to my cats that she's abusing me. That kind of shit is only funny because the possibility of real violence does not exist in any way. What I'm trying to say is fuck this guy.
Isn't this what DAs are for?
I'm starting to think Dr. Jinx may not have been a real Dr.
