Social media has been reeling after the hotel surveillance footage of Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting singer and ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura was mysteriously published to the internet.
The consensus on social media is that the federal government is the culprit. However, that’s not what one particular attorney on Tiktok thinks.
ModyDanielle Obiorah took to TikTok and shared a gripping theory about who may be behind the leak and why.
First things First: Obiorah, or @imalawyerinreallife is as a federal employment, veteran’s disability compensation and personal injury attorney who was named as one of the Top 100 Lawyers by the Historical Black College Universities Magazine.
On Tiktok, the attorney began her theory by saying the video’s publishing is a sign that things are about to get “real bad” for Combs.
The video in question is a surveillance video from March 5, 2016 leaked to CNN. The video shows Combs running down the hallway in nothing but a bath towel, and catching Cassie at the elevator where she stood gathering her belongings. The footage shows Combs grab Cassie by her neck and slammed her to the ground before kicking her repeatedly and dragging her down the hallway.
After the video was published, Rapper 50 Cent trolled Combs but also suggested the feds or cops were behind the leak. Given they’d just raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles a few months ago, 50 Cent said on Instagram that “This is why they put that tape out, they know they can’t charge him with what we saw, but they know we can’t unsee what we saw.”
But Obiorah doesn’t think this was the case. To her, neither the feds nor the Department of Homeland Security leading the sex-trafficking probe into Combs would risk their names being put out there.
She began to break down how she came to a rather startling conclusion as to who leaked the video to CNN. According to Obiorah’s theory, the outlet likely didn’t pay for the tape.
Instead, she suggested CNN probably got it for free which gives a big clue as to who leaked the video. While many people believe the leaker was someone who didn’t want or need money, she disagreed. Instead, she believes the culprit was likely someone who had access to a slew of other tapes, but unable to leak the tapes because they were in Diddy’s orbit.
Proving that many people may have videos, Obiorah said 50 Cent claimed someone once offered a video to him, regarding Cassie. With more lawsuits stacking up against the rap mogul, Obiorah claims less people will feel entitled to keep Diddy’s secrets and may hold these videos above his head in exchange for a huge payout.
“He’s refusing to pay because remember, he could have settled the Cassie lawsuit before it was filed. He settled it a day after it was filed,” she said in the video. “My theory is that he’s being extorted. The person who released the tape is someone who has a lot more tapes of him.” And these other videos, she theorizes, are likely worse than what we’ve seen.
What do y’all think? Is someone getting their sweet revenge?
