Many celebrity reporters and journalists have shimmed in on the video footage from 2016 where P. Diddy is assaulting former girlfriend Cassie, as opinions and criticism have piled up.

But a sports commentator not shy to speak his voice on any topic has also expressed what he thinks on the matter. Stephen A. Smith has said that following the release of the video, the career of the producer and singer is over.

The host of ESPN's First Take said hard things about the issue and did not back out on his feelings toward Puff and the situation.

"I want to declare, right here, over these digital airwaves of YouTube that the career of Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs as we know it, is over," Stephen A. began saying on his social media program. "This s**t is over. It's over in the worst possible way. One of the worst possible ways that you can imagine."

His YouTube show, The Stephen A. Smith Show, kept talking about the video released and the footage first aired by CNN on Friday morning.

That was not the only thing that Stephen A. Smith said

Controversial at times, Stephen A. Smith has an opinion on every subject, and he was not going to stop on this one.

"I have the video right in front of me. We can't show it to you. But I'm watching this with the sound off as we speak. She's walking down the hallway in a hoodie, y'all. Clearly tryna sneak out of the hotel room. We see him come sprinting down the hallway in just a towel. That's it. He goes up to her, snatches her by the neck, yanks her to the ground. She lays there, still. OK? I'm looking at the video while I'm talking to you. He snatches her by the neck. Unless this is some look-a-like. Unless this is some clone. Unless this is somebody from Mission Impossible, like Tom Cruise, wearing somebody else's face, looking exactly like them when it ain't them at all."

The commentator compared this video and the situation to what happened with former NFL running back Ray Rice, who also filmed by a security camera on an elevator punching and dragging his fianc�e in 2013, something that ultimately ended his career.
