Voletta Wallace condemns Sean Combs after shocking footage emerges, demanding an apology.
Voletta Wallace, the mother of the late Notorious BIG, has spoken out against Sean “Diddy” Combs, expressing her outrage after disturbing footage surfaced earlier this month. The video shows Combs, 54, allegedly assaulting his former partner, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway in Los Angeles. The footage, from 2016, was made public as Combs faces multiple accusations, including sex trafficking and sexual abuse.
Wallace, 71, voiced her disgust in an interview with Rolling Stone, stating, “I’m sick to my stomach. I’m praying for Cassie. I’m praying for his mother. I don’t want to believe all the things I’ve heard, but after seeing the video, it’s hard to ignore. I hope he apologises to her.”
In the video, Combs, dressed only in a towel, can be seen chasing Ventura down a hallway before physically attacking her near an elevator. He is then shown attempting to drag her down the corridor.
Wallace did not hold back, adding, “I hope to see Sean one day, and when I do, the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. You can quote me on that. I liked him. I didn’t want to believe the terrible things, but now I’m ashamed and embarrassed.”
She also called for Combs to apologise to his own mother, saying, “He needs to apologise to her. I hope he sits her down and tells her everything.”
These comments were part of an investigation into Combs’s violent behaviour, which was published alongside the footage. The investigation highlighted that, according to associates of the late rapper, Biggie Smalls, he had been planning to sever ties with Combs and his label, Bad Boy Records, before his tragic death in 1997.
Cassie Ventura, who has remained silent on the abuse for years, recently broke her silence, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support she has received. She took to Instagram to say, “The love has helped me find peace in a place I never thought I would find. But this is just the beginning. Domestic violence is a devastating issue. It broke me down, but through a lot of hard work, I am healing.”
The case continues to unfold, with many questioning the legacy of Sean Combs amidst these serious allegations.
