Music mogul Diddy after releasing an Apology video reacting to assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie and getting dragged for not apologizing to her directly in the video, a new report is suggesting that much of that could be as a result of the settlement they had where he can not say her name in public.
There was clearly a legal reason behind the music mogul Diddy not calling his ex-girlfriend name.
As you know, Diddy and Cassie reached a settlement one day after she filed her sexual assault lawsuit against him in November and sources familiar with the agreement revealed that it includes a very strict NDA, which prevents both of them from speaking about each other in public, according to TMZ.
Since the release of the 2016 beating video, we have not seen or heard Cassie trashing Diddy, as you’d expect.
Sources told TMZ that Diddy’s attorneys very closely reviewed his video apology before it was posted for a couple of reasons. First, they needed to make sure it was in compliance with the NDA … meaning, absolutely no mention of Cassie by name — even though, as the music mogul Diddy wanted to say it.
Secondly, Cassie is just the tip of the legal iceberg Diddy is facing. While he’s settled her lawsuit, he still has to deal with 3 other suits that include some of the same allegations Cassie brought including human and sex trafficking.
For that reason, TMZ sources say Diddy’s legal team is on edge about him making any public statements — as long as there’s pending litigation, his own words could potentially be used against him in court.
That being said, our sources say the lawyers allowed him to record the apology video, but only under their guidance.
