CNN Shuts Down Diddy’s Bold Claim That Cassie Video Was Altered

In the latest development in Diddy‘s ongoing situation, his legal team has made serious accusations against CNN. They claim that CNN tampered with and even destroyed a controversial video showing Diddy apparently assaulting his former partner, Cassie, in a hotel hallway. However, CNN quickly denied these claims, standing by the video’s authenticity, which significantly changed public perceptions about Diddy.

The video first came to light in May 2024 and showed Diddy physically harming Cassie. Its release shocked many and became a major moment in the unfolding scandal surrounding the musician. As of March 2025, Diddy’s lawyers are arguing that CNN changed the video and deleted the original. In response, CNN issued a strong statement through TMZ, emphasizing that they never altered the video or destroyed the original, which they said was actually kept by the person who shared it with them.

They also pointed out that their reporting on this video happened months before Diddy was arrested, casting doubt on Diddy’s team’s claims. Diddy’s camp seems to be struggling to find a strong defense following the significant backlash caused by the video. The footage not only impacted the ongoing legal case but also shifted how the public views Diddy. Shortly after the video was released, Combs found himself in a challenging position.
