The panel on “The View,” consisting of Ana Navarro, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin shared their thoughts on the surveillance video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie as well as his subsequent apology video. After explaining that the rapper could no longer be charged by the Los Angeles Police Department due to the state’s statute of limitations, Navarro urged the public to ostracize the rapper as a consequence for his actions. “Look, the LAPD may not be able to charge him, but we are able to shun him, and he should be treated like the leper, the social leper and criminal he is,” she shared during the discussion.
While also addressing the apology video, Hostin pointed out Diddy’s insincerity, noting that Diddy only apologized to save his public image. “I don’t think that that video that we saw will change the public’s opinion of him, because I didn’t hear him say, ‘I am sorry, Cassie.’ I didn’t hear that. I heard, ‘I am sorry,’ I heard a lot of, you know, ‘I’ve sought help,'” Hostin explained.
Goldberg also echoed Hostin’s sentiment, adding that Diddy only apologized because he was caught and not because he was truly sorry. “It’s easier to be sorry after people found that you lied, because you said you didn’t do it,” Goldberg shared.
