It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. I called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Donkey of the Day for Monday, May 20th goes to Sean Combs. Not just Sean Combs, but the bad boy is a staff record label and mother effing crew,

because y'all been enabling this kind of behavior for a long time. And clearly, after watching this apology video, and I put apology in air quotes, y'all are still enabling him. But let's start from the beginning. On Friday afternoon, a video from 2016 was released to CNN. And in the video, it shows Sean Combs viciously attacking and beating his then girlfriend, Cassie Vantora. Let's go to ABC News for the video, it shows Sean Combs viciously attacking and beating his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. Tonight, this disturbing news surveillance video obtained exclusively by CNN appears to show Sean Diddy Combs attacking his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura,

throwing her to the ground in a hotel elevator bank and then kicking her twice. He then tries to drag her away. The incident appears to support Ventura's claims, long denied by Combs, from a now-settled lawsuit filed last November, stating, Around March 2016, at the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, Mr. Combs became extremely intoxicated and punched Ms. Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye. Adding that when she tried to leave the hotel room, Combs followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the

hallway and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape. At the time of the lawsuit, an attorney for Combs stating Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations. Ventura and Combs settled for an undisclosed amount. Today, an attorney for Ventura responding to the surveillance video stating, the gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. When I saw that video, I was disgusted and disappointed. Like, did he need his ass beat? Like, I wish Cassie would have had a gun on her and would have shot him right there on the spot. That's my initial reaction because that's how I always feel when I see situations like this.

And then there's this like this, this weird sense of grief because it is Diddy, right? Diddy is a hip hop hero. He's an ordinary person who did extraordinary things to sit here and act like the man wasn't a huge part of our upbringing. It's a damn lie. So there's this weird sense of grief, like another one of our heroes has ruined their legacy and it's their own fault because of poor choices a lot of different emotions but then yesterday Sean Combs decided to apologize for what we saw in that video can we listen it's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life sometimes you got to do that I was f***ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video

is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I'm disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I had to go into therapy, go into rehab, had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry, but I'm committed to be a better man each and every day.'m not asking for forgiveness I'm truly sorry now when I first watched that video I said to myself negro please okay he's not sorry he's sorry that video leaked and he's sorry he got caught see up until that video being released Sean Combs was denying everything Sean Combs put out a press release they put out a press release him and his team that said for the last couple his team that said, for the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people

try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear.

I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth. His lawyer has been screaming

since all these allegations have come out that this is a witch hunt. Diddy is innocent, and these people are looking for a quick payday. You let your son put out that weak-ass record, pick a side, taunting the FBI, basically telling people, keep that same energy when the smoke clears. Diddy, you posted on your page, time tells all. Yes, it does, sir, and it has told us that you are a liar.

Okay, this is what I mean when I say people wake up every day and just volunteer lies. Diddy, how are we supposed to believe anything that comes out of your mouth? And furthermore, why should we not believe the rumors of things going in your mouth when you out here volunteering bold-faced lies? You would still be lying to us right now if it was no video. You didn't even apologize to cassie in the video nor did you apologize for lying that you didn't do what you knew you was on tape doing so who was this apology for i'll tell you who it was for diddy's ego diddy's brand diddy and his handlers are looking at this all wrong you're trying to salvage his professional career let me be the

first to tell you that that's a wrap. Okay, you can't take away nothing Diddy has done professionally. Those records stand. You can't rewrite history, but ditto. But Diddy, your motto was forever, can't stop, won't stop. It's time to stop, okay, because it has stopped, all right? There's nothing else for you to do other than deal with the consequences of your actions. I don't even know what all the actions are, but you do. You can't run from yourself. You was trying to the last few weeks

to run from yourself. Hell, you knew this tape existed since 2016. So you've actually been running from yourself for years. I don't care how many times you change your name. I don't care how many times you tell us you're changing your frequency. The best apology in life will always be changed behavior. You can't tell us your behavior has changed when up until yesterday, you were still willing to lie to the people about who you are and what you have done. Diddy shouldn't be worried about the general public right now.

In fact, you shouldn't worry about the general public ever again because that's over. The trust is gone. Thought I told you that we won't stop? You must've been talking about lying to yourself because that's the only reason you would still keep any of this going. What's the saying?

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair. Diddy, you 54. Okay, you don't have forever. So while you're still here, you need to be focusing on repairing your soul. You need to be focusing on whatever damage you have caused your lineage, your family, and other people. If you and your team are still sitting around trying to figure out how to keep the business going, if you're sitting around worrying about your professional life more than your personal life,

then you just need to do us all the biggest favor and turn yourself in for who knows whatever other crimes you have committed that we don't know about because you can't play with God. You can lie to your family. You can lie to the general public. But you can lie to God and you can't play with God. Okay, you can lie to your family, you can lie to the general public, but you can lie to God and you can't lie to yourself. And you know better. What happens when you know better but still don't choose better? You experiencing that right now, Sean? You was 46 in that video that we saw.

You knew better, but you chose not to do better. And guess what? You can't run from yourself. Sean Combs, you've been running from yourself for a long time. That's why you keep changing your name. The drugs, the money, the liquor, the women, the nonstop party. That's all you running from yourself. But now all that has come to an end.

And if it hasn't, it better. Okay? You can't just keep changing the top layer. You got to do some real internal work. And you have all the money, all the resources to have access to the best everything. Stop spending the money and using the resources to attempt to cover up your lies and start using the money and the resources

to deal with your truth. Please give Sean Combs the biggest hee-haw. I'm proud of you. Okay. That was really nicely written. Why you say thank you? She said she's proud of you. He said okay. What you mean? All I'm saying is I'm proud of you okay that was really nicely written how do you say thank you she said thank you hey glam
