"Combs directly apologized to both Cassie Ventura and the woman who testified under the name "Jane" at trial for hurting them. "I literally lost my mind. I was dead wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved. I'm sorry for that and always will be. My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry," he said of Cassie."
"Combs claimed that his crimes were "rooted in (his) selfishness" and that he was "lost in the drugs and the excess." Spending a year in prison, he said, has changed him for the better. "There have been some days I thought I would be better off dead. The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you-I choose to live," Combs wrote."
Sean Combs wrote a four-page letter to the judge apologizing, taking full responsibility for past wrongs, and apologizing to those he hurt, including Cassie Ventura and a woman identified as "Jane." He says he lost his mind, admits domestic violence, and expresses deep remorse. He says his crimes were rooted in selfishness and drug-fueled excess, and that a year in prison transformed him. He describes suicidal thoughts while incarcerated and states the old him died and a new version was reborn. He asks for mercy and a light sentence to be a better father, son, leader, and to spend time with family.
