good evening. thank you for joining us. we begin tonight with disgraced music mogul sean "diddy" combs

apologizing in a new video. this after the release of the surveillance video of him attacking his former girlfriend. we want to warn you, this video is disturbing. here is abc's matt rivers. >> my behavior on that video is inexcusable. i take full responsibility for my actions in that video. i'm disgusted. i was disgusted then when i did it. i'm disgusted now. >> reporter: sean "diddy" combs posting on instagram, responding for the first time since that disturbing video. combs seen assaulting his then girlfriend cassie ventura, throwing her to the ground in a hotel elevator bank and kicking her twice. he then tries to drag her away. >> i'm not asking for forgiveness. i'm truly sorry. ♪ i'll be missing you ♪ >> reporter: the "i'll be missing you" singer never asking to be forgiven in the 1:11

video. diddy says it was the darkest time in his life. >> i hit rock bottom. i make no excuses. my behavior on that video is inexcusable. >> reporter: in support of abuse survivors, ventura's husband also posting on instagram saying "men who hit women aren't men. hold the women in your life with the utmost regard. to all the survivors, your stories are real, and people believe you." ventura's lawyers also weighing in, providing statement to abc news, saying, "when cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday, that he was only compelled to apologize once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words. combs can't be prosecuted for the violence in the video originally obtained by cnn because it is past california's statute of limitations. the interview seems to support ventura's claims long denied by combs from a long settled lawsuit settled last november.

stating around march 16 at the intercontinental hotel in century city, los angeles, mr. coombs became extremely intoxicated and punched ms. ventura in the face, giving her a black eye. when she tried to leave he followed into the hallway yelling at her. he grabbed glass vases and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape. it comes two months after federal authorities raided combs' l and florida home seizing electronics and computer equipment. agents in body armor seen entering his home in the wealthy l.a. enclave of holmby hills. combs is the subject of an ongoing federal investigation out of the southern district of new york into human trafficking. the entertainment mogul facing other civil lawsuits, including several allegations over sexual misconduct, all of which combs denies.

>> byron: our thanks to matt. we turn now to the urgent search for answers after the tragic death of a south carolina pastor's death. her death ruled a suicide, but family and friends still searching for answers. why the fbi and federal prosecutors are helping with the investigation. more now from abc's eva pilgrim. >> reporter: tonight, heartbreak and questions in the death of mica miller, a loving daughter, friend, and estranged wife of a south carolina pastor. >> i'm still having trouble with it. i can't buy everything that happened. >> reporter: angela clark says she was one of mica miller's closest friends, and she says she was one of the last people to speak to miller before she took her own life. she is speaking out for the first time. >> i talked to her friday night. our plan was that she was going meet me for the second service at church on sunday. my husband walked up to me on the stage in the middle of rehearsal. he got kind of choked up. he almost couldn't get the words out. and he said, "mica is gone."

what do you mean mica is gone? "she's dead." so my question is still going to be what happened between friday night and saturday that broke her. >> reporter: now the fbi and u.s. attorney are helping the robeson county sheriff's department in the investigation. >> the fbi can bring a lot of expertise to the table to evaluate both cell phones, sex messages, social media, relationship with her husband. you would need the u.s. attorney's office, for example, to subpoena phone records. you could get a search warrant. now, you'd have to have some information that what occurred potentially fits some federal crime. >> reporter: the 30-year-old calling 911 and threatening suicide moments before she was found dead at a state park in north carolina on april 27th, about an hour north of where she lived in myrtle beach. her death officially ruled a suicide. mica's death coming just days

after she told a police officer she was scared for her life and adding that she found a gps tracker on her car and was being followed. she had filed for divorce last october. her husband, john paul miller, was a pastor at a local church. he first announced his wife's death at the end of a church service, which was live-streamed. >> i got a call late last night, my wife has passed away. yeah. it was self-induced. i'm sure there will be more details to come. >> reporter: he has since been released from his duties for a time of healing, counsel, and guidance, but previously had also spoken at a memorial service about mica. >> i've been with the body about four times this week, and each time it still didn't hit me. i thought she was going to wake up, you know. i even tried to raise her from the dead. >> reporter: images released from authorities show mica the day of her death leaving her house, buying a gun, stopping at a gas station near the park, and then making a call to 911.

>> hi, are you able to trace the location of my phone? >> reporter: mica posting shortly before her death, "please share this with anyone struggling with leaving a dangerous situation." >> god hates divorce because it hurts people. but does abuse hurt people? how do you think god feels about that? >> reporter: and this was her last facebook post, when terrible, terrible, terrible things happen to you, y'all know what i'm talking about, rpf, rest in peace face. miller telling abc news he didn't have anything to do with his wife's death. he never abused her, and he took care of her as best he could. angela says she and mica had connected several weeks earlier after mica reached out and told her about what she says had been going on in her marriage to pastor john paul. >> it was really disturbing abuse. there was every kind of abuse

you can name, spiritual abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse. the emotional abuse, the physical abuse. i just -- i couldn't wrap my head around it. >> reporter: angela says it seemed that mica was getting her life back on track after separating from john paul. >> you could see some light coming back into her eyes, and she was in the word. she was in the scripture. she was getting counseling. she was doing all the right things, and i saw an excitement in her. >> reporter: angela says that excitement made it so hard for her to process, even after visiting the state park where mica's body was found. >> it is an extremely heavy feeling walking that path. all i could think is gosh, what was she thinking in these moments? >> reporter: for mike a's family they say they are grateful for everything everyone has done to help.

adding they're aware of the fbi's involvement, but have no personal knowledge of the nature of any fbi investigation, and therefore no comment. as the search for answers continues, angela says she hopes mica will be remembered not for her death, but for her life. >> mica was a bright light. she loved god. she loved people. she was adventurous. she had the sweetest soul. she said at this point in my life, i should have listened to god, and i don't think he intended me to be a pastor's wife. he intended for me to be a missionary. and that's what i'm going to do. i wish she was still here, because she could have done so much good. >> byron: our thanks to eva. up next, new kids on the block. they've still got the right stuff. ♪ the right stuff ♪ >> byron: what's their secret to making music together after all these years? ♪ the right stuff ♪ to sever'e or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks...
