Diddy's former employees at Revolt, the media company he co-founded, are reacting to the horrific video of him assaulting Cassie.
The company posted a statement saying, "We are deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent video circulation of our former chairman, Sean "Diddy" Combs,”
It added, "Even with his recent separation from REVOLT, it is still our duty to address this matter, and recognize the direct impact it has on our staff, our audience, and the culture we represent."
Diddy co-founded Revolt, with Andy Schuon in 2013, and the company now says it “stands in solidarity" with all victims of domestic abuse.
While the statement made no mention of Cassie by name, it's worth noting it was her November sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy that prompted him to step down last year as Chairman of Revolt.
At the time, there were rumblings that many employees, who believed Cassie's allegations, were unhappy about the company's association with Diddy.

The March 2016 hotel surveillance video shows Diddy in a towel, chasing Cassie down a hallway to the elevator bank ... before snatching her by the neck and slamming her to the ground, kicking her and dragging her.
Early Sunday, Diddy posted a video apology for the violent encounter, in which he claimed he got professional help -- including rehab -- at some time after beating Cassie. He referred to it as "the darkest time" in his life.
