Celeb Apology checklist. Sad face, been to therapy, Mention God, been to or going to Rehab, Say sorry, Say I'll do better, Say not asking forgiveness, Say I got help, Mention professional help, Say you are ashamed, Say you taking responsibility, making large charity donation, I hit rock bottom. Diddy read the whole script.

[@carag2567]

You should make a Bingo card out of this.

[@khanhnguyen-tt3ff]

​@@neferazure yeah cause typos aren't a thing.

[@crisfield4364]

My first impression is that he's referring to a list of key apology phrases without actually addressing anything specific. He seems to be referring to notes with bulltet points.

[@TheBehavioralArts]

Agreed 100% he’s not reading a word for word script but he’s looking over to some type of skeleton or bullet points

[@Zinozad]

@@TheBehavioralArts Though it's not necessarily dishonest to do that. You might write a checklist for yourself because you really want to communicate honest information about yourself, and you don't want to forget it. However, with the rest of the analysis on top of that, it's pretty clear that this checklist of him isn't made to convey honest thoughts. Thank you for your analysis videos, they're packed with valuable information and nuances. It's both a great piece of information and entertainment.

[@weefiah1]

As soon as Cassie curled up and didn’t move at all, I knew she believed it was the only way to not make it worse for herself. She didn’t try to get away or fight back. She braced herself for what was coming. If that’s not a sign she knows what he’s capable of, I don’t know what is!

[@shirlieingram2295]

Exactly!! He was trying his hardest to contain his anger with her. I would even say he was, in that moment, actually thinking…..playing in his mind exactly what he wants to do to her to make her pay, which is causing those facial twitches. He is evil, he is devious, and he is calculating. I hope & pray everyone that is in her corner is on high alert and has her (& her family) safety at the forefront of their minds.

[@nicolejones2407]

Yes! I said the same thing

[@feelthejoy]

Notice how he said “I had to go to therapy” not “I realized I needed therapy” or “I started to going to therapy” or even simply “I have been in therapy”. HAD to go implies he didn’t really want to

[@carag2567]

I think the fact that Diddy not only denied all the allegations against him but also accused the women of being financially motivated is a very clear indication that this is a false apology. He claims to have been disgusted enough with himself to seek professional help through therapy, rehab, and spiritual counseling, yet he still tried to DARVO his way out of the situation when his behaviors were made public. A changed person would not have done that. Classic abuser. Textbook.

[@cassierussell6281]

What does darvo mean?

[@carag2567]

@cassierussell6281 It's an acronym for Deny Accuse/Attack Reverse Victim and Offender. It is a very common, almost universal response that abusers resort to when confronted with their own behavior.

[@klarenee1123]

@@cassierussell6281 From Wikipedia DARVO (an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim & offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Some researchers indicate that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.[2]

There was some frontal lobe damage done to my uncle. He was electrocuted and on the outside of the 2nd floor of a building. His partner grabbed his belt to stop the circuit of electricity, and he fell from the 2nd floor, leaving him with frontal lobe damage, which changed his behavior significantly. I wonder, with all of this violence that surrounded him for a long time, if he may have some frontal lobe damage, also. Do we know if he has adhd or anything else? Learning about those behaviors I was told a person could do a behavior and then regret it almost immediately.

The worst part is that this apology will help him. So many powerful individuals are invested in him, and stand to lose a lot to see him fully blacklisted or jailed, so as long as they have this apology on record now, powerful players will let him off Scott free. He will face no repercussions. What the average person thinks of him doesn’t matter.

[@shamalamadingdong6718]

@@sopiabobia3699 I disagree. Maybe I’m not understanding your pov. Companies and supporters have been pulling away from him, refusing to make comments after the video came out when they were in full support before there was physical evidence. The video makes him sound ridiculous, it’s embarrassing really. This video, plus anything else he makes public, can be used against him for anything that goes to court and it will hurt him considerably. This was a bad move on his part, and his attorney’s if they ok’d this. They can now do a record request in discovery to see if he really went to rehab or therapy if he does go to court for his current legal issues, if nothing turns up it will be a BAD day 😅

[@kaitospin3944]

So he's basically apologizing for doing something he and his legal team vehemently and categorically denied doing a few months ago in two separate statements? What a dirt bag.

[@user-po6lu3ws7n]

Exactly. First, she was lying and "looking for a payday" and now that the proof is out, you take full accountability and you're so sorry? Are you sorry for blatantly lying and saying your victim is a liar, too? He's scum of the earth. Can't believe a word he says.

[@charlottedaniels5229]

I mean does god forgive everyone if they ask for forgiveness? I think it has to be genuinely asked, and I am almost certain his is disingenuous. He swallowed hard after saying that about asking the Good Lord for forgiveness. Which leads me to believe he knows that was a big lie. Anyway, I wonder if God forgives phony requests for forgiveness..

[@MSHARLEYDWOKEAF]

@@charlottedaniels5229 Yes, God forgives everyone who asks. His asking God's forgiveness can't be disingenuous because he knows God can see through it. Him telling us about it, now that's a different story. We won't know if it's true or false. I haven't heard him enough to judge. I can count on one hand the times I've heard him talk. Does he always sound like this? Sort of like that Woodbine guy, John Wayne and Elvis Presley. No matter what they spit, it sound fake. 😆

[@zamorapakalolo1389]

​@MSHARLEYDWOKEAF are we sure about that, because if you're asking for forgiveness knowing God will forgive just to continue the cycle, would that in fact be true forgiveness? Remember, God is omnipotent he already knows our fate.

[@HillCountryBluebonnet88]

She went limp, making very little movement. She didn’t even try to curl up in a ball to shield herself from further damaging blows. That doesn’t happen when the behavior is new. Our instincts tell us to protect ourselves. But to an abuser, that is throwing gas on the fire. She didn’t want to do ANYTHING that would give him more of a reason to continue hitting her. Even when he is sitting down just looking at her, while she was out of the camera range, he sat there like he was a King and he was enjoying the suffering, so much that he wanted to continue to make her cower, so he threw things at her.

[@TheBehavioralArts]

Such astute observations and so well explained. I’m sad thinking about why you know this. I hope it’s due to professional or academic reasons.

TW: Domestic abuse Thank you for covering what was in some of the surveillance footage. I've just gotten out of a 15 yr abusive marriage and been trying to process through it. I feel a lot of shame and guilt for what I let myself become and this was an important reminder that my body was doing its best to protect me. There was no shock in either my ex or I aside from the first time he punched a hole through our wall. My body knew the best ways to hold still and position myself to try and de-escalate the situation. The towel thing also reminded me of my ex. I spent so much time defending him and telling myself it was just the trauma talking and he would never intentionally hurt me. But once he found out I started to record our conversations, he would come in and wake me up by yelling at me first thing in the morning when he knew I couldn't be recording. It was the first time it really hit home that he knew exactly what he was doing. If he could worry about his image in the moment, then he knew what he was doing.

As a ‘survivor’ (not victim) of both parental and DA I saw the disparity in the way they are dressed as proof she was trying to escape (asleep, in the shower, passed out or at work is always the opportune time).

Narcissists never give specific reasons as to why they're sorry. You know it must be bad because they rarely even use the words "sorry" or "I apologize."

It became common, because so many use this term so loosely. Common doesn’t mean correct. NPD is a serious disorder and by misusing the term it‘s seriousness gets washed out.

I guess you do take full responsibility since it’s already out there. 🙄

[@brandyk]

Well this is classic for anyone refusing or potentially in denial about their own actions, behaviors n even words so it's not at all limited to domestic violence. In my experience the more egregious the acts the less likelihood of a true apology, remorse n change. So they have to turn it around. Some will say you made them do it by getting them so angry or pushing their buttons but some are smart enough to know this is absurd so the next best thing is to minimize n try to paint you as unforgiving, holding onto the past, being oversensitive n not moving on. Of course when it comes to domestic abuse you should not just be moving on. And if you are still with someone out of fear etc you can sorta see that it could be confusing to them as you're still with them so they take that as forgiving them but yet you're still holding onto it. People need to get out of these relationships or work through together with what happened. I don't mean in this case or domestic violence in general but like affairs etc. they have to win back trust little by little but you also can't hold it against them forever. Better to just leave.

Thank you Spidey. I appreciate that you name elements exactly, "no actions or what are the measures you are taking?" meaning to repair the situation. I rely on my gut, my over all sense of a person, but you make my senses into words, as well as pointing out integrity issues. That is valuable. When I watched him speak, I saw him emotionally flat, being someone who can project emotions buy chose not to, he was disingenuous and not sincerely contrite, no shame. Shame is appropriate in this situation.

The eye squeezing, in my opinion was him trying really hard to make some tears come out, but they wouldn't, because a) he's a terrible actor, and b) he isn't sorry for what he did (crocodile tears). He literally made this whole "non-apology" about HIMSELF, and not ONE time did he address Cassie, or ANY of his other victims. Hell, it's not clear at all WHO he's even "apologizing" to. Just a bunch of word salad tossed together in a poor attempt to garner sympathy from the public because he's only concerned with the way it made him LOOK. Even used the typical abuser sayings/tactics "working to become a better man everyday" and "hit rock bottom" yeah ok; how many times did you "hit rock bottom" when you were with Cassie? When you were with Kim Porter? When you were with Misa? When you were dealing with Gina? There's always been a pattern. Smh. Idk, when I "hit rock bottom" I typically might stay in the house/in bed for a few days and eat ice cream; not hit people or drag them, or stomp on their stomachs while pregnant (go listen to Gina V's story). This dude is a diabolical monster. Probably was laughing both before and after the video was made. In actuality, he would have been better off just not saying anything at all and just staying silent.

[@carag2567]

EXCELLENT POINTS!!!! This comment should be pinned! 👏👏👏

[@TheBehavioralArts]

Hey everyone! Hope you’re enjoying the video despite the very heavy and unpleasant topic. I just wanted to add 2 other points for discussion and consideration. 1) The appeal to religion. I filmed a whole segment about this then cut it out because I wasn’t happy with the way I expressed it. Ultimately I think he’s bringing it up to get sympathy from people who share his faith. In hopes that they will back off when they hear that he asked for grace. To me it feels like a cop out. 2) if I can ask Diddy one question I would ask “how many other times did events similar to the one in the video take place? Be it with Cassie or anyone else?” The question is a catch 22, either he would have to confess to other cases where he did this or he would claim this is the only time it happened and the moment evidence surfaced that it isn’t, it would very conclusively show how fake this apology was, as well as any other apology moving forward. We already have him claiming he’s sorry for something he strongly denied, so it would just be more of that but there would be no way for him to regain any credibility in a situation like that (not that he can now) ❤️ 🤗

[@Theresa-wp6kv]

100% loved your analysis! Thank you from my soul, for clarifying that this individual acted with a clear mind in the video. Meaning, mental illness is not a factor. You backed up your statement with the fact he consciously held up his towel for modesty purposes. “Normal” people are capable of evil thinking and actions. My peers who suffer from medical mental disorders, are often accused of horrible crimes against humanity. When in reality, we will more likely hurt ourselves than consider harming others! Thank you dear Spidey! ❤.

[@hannahmitchell87]

I don't think Spidey said mental illness isn't a factor,did he? Just that he wasn't delusional at that time? ie he was lucid & aware of his surroundings. (which I agree with by the way) Mental illness could still be present in someone concerned about public image. I'm going back to rewatch in case I've misheard / misunderstood though :)

Must be tough to stay as unbiased as possible with topics such as these. You did a great job! Definitely not a career I could have ... I am FAR too biased after seeing that video... He's a cold-blooded monster imo.

[@dawnanderson1545]

How gross is it that the hotel agreed to take money to stay quiet. How many people at the hotel watched that video and did nothing?

[@neferazure]

No one kept a copy of it. It was recovered from his home during a recent raid by the feds. Hence why it never surfaced until now. Cassie didn't leak it, hotel didn't leak it, pretty much Diddy created the environment for his own evidence to leak because he fled a couple days before the raid and wasn't smart enough to cover his own ass. Prob had it stashed deep in a vault somewhere and figured they'd never find it. But joke's on him. Also, this was not the ONLY tape they found; NUMEROUS tapes were found, evidence of the alleged "freak-offs" and other more incriminating evidence, such as concrete proof that he orchestrated the murder of 2Pac Shakur. He's going DOWN. Feds are currently sifting through everything to see what he can be charged with. Unfortunately while the abuse video at least proves that Cassie wasn't lying (because he, along with soooo many others, kept accusing her of lying and being "money hungry"), he cannot be charged with anything from that incident, due to statute of limitations. But there might be other crimes he can face charges for, and they're gathering all that up now. But yes, to clarify, that tape came from HIS house. He'd been hoarding it all this time. And that's just the footage that was on enough to show on tv; imagine what else they have in their possession now that they CAN'T let us see.

[@gaysy1st]

He purchased it from the hotel & kept it himself. When the cops raided his home recently, they found it. He probably kept it to give himself a thrill every now & then, but ultimately, by keeping it, he's shot himself in the foot.

Watching this channel is helping me to think about and understand how my own facial expressions and body language come across. I've always had this issue where I think people don't like me for some weird reason. I realized from these videos that I denote contempt a lot, and it probably makes people afraid to approach me, or they don't get a warm or welcoming feeling. In my mind I thought people would relate to my expressions, asymmetrical lip curls, eyebrow raises, and eye rolls, like "isn't this thing annoying or stupid," but it probably doesn't land that way! This was a pretty big realization. I have gotten the same feedback at least 3 times in my life (and repetition is usually a sign of something) that people initially thought that I must be mean, or a b-word, but then they found out I'm really not. This channel is fascinating!

@@Michelle-pg5sz not necessarily. Everyone does both symetrical and asymmetrical face scrunches. When it’s synthetical it can mean ALOT of things.

She is someone that had experienced this many times before and is trying to not do anything that she knows will make it worse. 2. One of the things he said in his apology really stood out to me. When he said “I HAD TO go to therapy.” And hung his head, is the way the victim would have e said it. It seems like he was trying to get sympathy. Instead of saying “I WENT” or “I CHOSE” to go to therapy to try to be a better person. Edited to add; SO CALLED apology, because it is clearly not genuine.
