Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington respond to 'absolutely disgusting' video of ... trends now
Sunrise co-hosts Matt Shirvington and Natalie Barr have condemned newly-surfaced surveillance footage of rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
The shocking video, obtained by CNN, shows the rapper, 54, violently attacking the singer, 37, at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
Shirvington, 45, and Barr, 56, couldn't disguise their disgust as they spoke to entertainment reporter Dean McCarthy about the footage as well as Diddy's subsequent apology video.
'In his video, he alleges that he's disgusted. Well, he's right about that. He's not the only one. We're all disgusted. Everyone in Hollywood's disgusted about this,' McCarthy said.
'And interestingly, even though he is a Hollywood hotshot - I mean, he's a mogul - not one person in Hollywood, not one person in music has come forward in support today,' he added.
