Jennifer Lopez ‘disgusted’ by footage of Diddy beating Cassie – but she has no plans to publicly discuss her own relationship with the rapper as she focuses on battling to save her marriage

Jennifer Lopez has been left ‘disturbed’ and ‘heartbroken’ by the footage of her ex-boyfriend Diddy punching his then-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel corridor, marking the latest blow for the singer amid reports her marriage is on the way out. parting.

The publication of CNN footage showing the artist, real name Sean Combs, 54, throwing Cassie to the ground and furiously kicking her sparked widespread reaction on Friday.

But Lopez, also 54, who dated the rapper from 1999 to 2001, has no plans to publicly address the harrowing recording, or any of the allegations leveled against him in recent months.

“Everything else Jen is dealing with in her life, she is aware of and has seen what Diddy has done and is extremely disappointed,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.

“Jen doesn’t address the allegations or take the time to talk about them because it’s not her story to tell.

Diddy, 54, sparked outrage on Friday when footage was released showing him attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016

“If she is asked about it in a future interview, she will cross paths with it if it happens, but she will not address it publicly or purposely insert herself into that conversation.”

Images of a shirtless Diddy, wrapped in a towel, chasing Cassie, 37, down the hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in Century City in 2016 went viral on Friday.

The artist can be seen grabbing her by the back of the head and slamming her into the ground as she tries to get into an elevator, before kicking her as she lies motionless on the ground. He then dragged her back to their room by her hoodie.

On Sunday, he posted a video apology, claiming he had been in a bad place and had turned to God for forgiveness.

Lopez, who was reportedly in crisis talks during her tour and fighting to save her marriage to Ben Affleck, was reportedly left disgusted by the fact that someone she once trusted turned into a “very damaged human being.”

“Everything else Jen is dealing with in her life, she is aware of and has seen what Diddy has done and is disappointed,” the insider said.

‘Not that people forget, but her relationship with him several years ago had tumultuous ups and downs. What he has done and what he is accused of is heartbreaking.

‘It’s disgusting for her to see that someone who at one point in her life was someone she put so much trust in has ultimately turned into a very damaged person. It’s disturbing to see.’

A close confidante of Cassie, 37, claimed she was surprised by the release of the viral clip, which was reportedly ‘triggering for her’

Lopez has remained silent despite the allegations and lawsuits against her ex, whose homes were raided by Homeland Security in March in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation, and has said little about their time together.

They met on the set of her music video for If You Had My Love in 1999, before splitting in 2001 amid rumors that Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy, had been unfaithful – something Lopez later confirmed.

The couple was arrested shortly after they started dating following a shooting at a Times Square nightclub in December 1999 that left three people injured.

Lopez was released without charge after 14 hours in jail, while Diddy was later released after a seven-week trial in which his protégé Jamal ‘Shyne’ Barrow – long suspected of being the fall guy – was sentenced to 10 years.

A recent lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claims it was Lopez who “carried the gun into the club” [Diddy] and gave him the gun after he got into an argument with another individual.”

“It was a complete nightmare from start to finish,” Lopez recalled to Elle magazine in July 2000. ‘I was terrified in the car. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. Nobody has done that.’

Diddy has been accused of sexual assault, rape and sex trafficking, including a lawsuit filed by Cassie that was settled out of court in November.

He has denied the allegations against him and his representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment when contacted by DailyMail.com.

Another source said the embattled rapper was “stunned” by the release of the video and huddled with his lawyers for crisis talks as he feared more were to come.

Lopez is not addressing Diddy publicly as she is focused on saving her marriage to Ben Affleck, according to insiders, who claim she has turned to Jennifer Garner for help.

A close confidant of Cassie said she was also surprised by the release of the viral clip, which was said to be “triggering for her.”

“She is just happy to have escaped him and plans to write a book that will help other victims of domestic violence escape their vicious tormentors,” they said.

Lopez is currently the center of speculation over her marriage to Affleck, with insiders telling DailyMail.com that his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, is desperately trying to help them.

The actresses are said to be worried that the actor could relapse and break his sobriety under the pressure.
