Last year CNN released shocking video surveillance footage of Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, brutally assaulting his then girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at the Los Angeles Intercontinental Hotel back in 2016 [click here if you missed that].
Now Diddy wants the tape barred from his trial, claiming it was altered before release...
From TMZ
Bombshell in the Diddy prosecution ... CNN destroyed the only known copy of the 2016 video in which Diddy is seen beating Cassie in the hallway of an L.A. hotel ... this according to new court documents.
Diddy's defense team and prosecutors filed a joint letter about evidence in the case. According to the defense ... CNN purchased the video showing Diddy attacking Cassie in the hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in L.A. The letter claims "CNN purchased the only known copy of the Hotel's surveillance footage, uploaded that footage into a free editing software, altered the video and then destroyed the original footage, even though it knew about and repeatedly reported about the federal investigation."
The defense claims CNN altered and edited the footage by "covering the time stamp and then changing the video sequence. It also includes speeding up the video to make it falsely appear that the actions in the video are taking place faster than they are. As a result, the CNN videos do not fairly and accurately depict the events in question."
The InterContinental Hotel has closed down in that location and we're told no other video of the incident exists.
It seems inevitable ... the defense will try and exclude the video from Diddy's upcoming trial. Diddy is not being prosecuted for the beating -- that's a state matter and the statute of limitations has run -- but prosecutors want to use it to show Diddy's alleged violent propensities.UPDATE
"CNN never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage, which was retained by the source. CNN aired the story about the video several months before Combs was arrested."
Diddy's legal team tells TMZ ... "Our written and oral communications with CNN’s counsel were clear - they destroyed the original video file they received from their source."

I hope they put him under the jail. I don't give a damn about what's fair or what's right and I don't care what the jury sees or doesn't see. Put him in Cell Block 1 and give him a taste of his own medicine.
The FOOL apologized on his IG admitting his guilt! NOTHING WAS ALTERED!!!
Dis kneegrow knows he needs to chill. Altered my azz. That jail confinement has him filled with anxiety and delusions.
Put That Bad Boy On Baddies. Same BAD Behavior.
Why....😂celebrities who suppose to be celebrating themselves be fighting in and out of elevators? I guess.. Greedy and ev!l for no reason

Sir...and I use the term loosely. You already acknowledged and apologized NOT to her but to your so call fans for beating her and said you went to therapy. Now you want to say the tape fake and altered. GTFOH with that. You are NEVER EVER getting out and if you do you will be broke, because your dimwitted children are spending what is left of your money after the lawyers take most of it on dumb sh*t.💯
I guess AI made your hands and feet kick and hit her repeatedly while you ran up on her with your bath robe on. Oh, yea and when you dragged her across the floor that was you giving her a handshake. GTFOH
He's going down and he knows it.
Liar.
Pants on fire.
My daddy saw that video and said that is a hateful gay man rat thur!!!!
It aint got SugarHoneyIceTea to do with him being gay like it's got nothing to do with him being black. He's just a hateful MF.
I wish you str8 ppl stop blaming domestic violence on being gay. It's a lie. Gay men don't hate women.
