    Diddy's Pathetic Apology Video CONFIRMS His Horrible Behavior

    Diddy's Pathetic Apology Video CONFIRMS His Horrible Behavior

    In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs. Despite Diddy’s complete denial and disparaging comments about the victims, a video surfaced showing him assaulting Cassie in a hotel, which aligns with her civil suit details. Dreeke explains that this video not only corroborates Cassie's testimony but also lends credibility to other victims' claims. Diddy’s subsequent public apology, where he admits his behavior but focuses on his own suffering rather than the victims, is seen as self-serving. Dreeke suggests that Diddy’s response reveals his narcissistic tendencies, as he fails to show genuine remorse or empathy for the victims. The discussion highlights the challenge of dealing with powerful individuals who manipulate and intimidate their way out of accountability. Dreeke emphasizes that Diddy's public admission, though likely unintended, could be a significant blow to his defense, as it implicitly validates other allegations against him.

    Main Points
    - Serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs include sexual assault and abuse.
    - Diddy denies the allegations and insults the victims.
    - A video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie corroborates her civil suit.
    - Diddy’s public apology focuses on his suffering rather than the victims’.
    - Dreeke highlights Diddy's narcissistic tendencies and lack of genuine remorse.

    Can A Physical Abuser Like Diddy Ever Change?

    In the podcast episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, focusing on the difficulty of changing abusive behaviors, particularly for someone with a long history of such actions. Scott highlights that Combs, at 57, is unlikely to change his sadistic tendencies. The conversation also explores the common fantasy among victims that their abusers can change, a belief often rooted in trauma and cognitive distortion. They discuss how therapy can help victims recognize and break free from these harmful patterns.

The discussion concludes with a critique of Combs' public apology and skepticism about its sincerity and effectiveness.

    Main Points
    - Sean "Diddy" Combs faces new allegations and potential charges, with a federal grand jury convening to hear from accusers.
    - Combs' history of abusive behavior and the low likelihood of change at his age.
    - Victims often hold onto the fantasy that their abusers can change, a belief rooted in trauma and cognitive distortion.
    - Therapy can help victims recognize and break free from harmful patterns and trauma bonds.
