Major eyewear retailer America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses has pulled Diddy’s Sean Jean frames from its shelves after a video showed him violently assaulting his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016, according to TMZ. On Tuesday, the celebrity gossip site reported, “stores received a message Tuesday to remove all Sean Johns from the frame boards and replace them with frames at an appropriate price point from understock. They put a hold on selling the frames and told the stores to wait for further instructions.” It wasn’t clear if the company plans to dump its existing stock or if Sean Jean will be forced to accept a mass return on its merchandise. In a video apology last week—in which he “did not directly apologize” to Ventura, TMZ noted—Diddy said, “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you gotta do that. I was fucked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom.”
