Sean “Diddy” Combs was defending himself and his son when he got into a violent confrontation at a UCLA athletic complex and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, his representative said Tuesday.
Police said Combs, 45, used a kettlebell in the confrontation inside the Acosta Athletic Training Complex on campus sometime before 12:30 p.m. Monday. A kettlebell is a round piece of weightlifting equipment with a handle, usually made of cast iron.
But any reports that Combs was the aggressor are inaccurate, spokeswoman Nathalie Moar, Combs Enterprises senior vice president, said in a statement.
“The various accounts of the event and charges that are being reported are wholly inaccurate. What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son. We are confident that once the true facts are revealed, the case will be dismissed,” the statement said.
