GUT-WRENCHING video allegedly showed rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016.
The disturbing surveillance footage appears to show Combs, holding a towel around his waist, chasing after Cassie as she waited for the elevators in the lobby of the InterContiental Hotel in Los Angeles.
Combs then forcefully strikes Cassie, born Casandra Ventura, throws her on the floor, and kicks her as she laid motionless, according to the video obtained by CNN.
The rapper then grabs her purse, continues his assault, and proceeds to drag her across the lobby.
A second camera angle obtained by CNN showed the moments after the assault as Cassie slowly stood up and retrieved her stuff.
Cassie is then seen picking up a phone in the hallway as Combs returns and sits on a chair directly in front of her.
Moments later, Combs grabs what appears to be a vase from a table and throws it at Cassie.
The horrific assault seems to match the allegations Cassie made in the lawsuit she filed against the Bad Boy mogul in New York in November 2023.
Cassie alleged that in March 2016, an “extremely intoxicated” Combs “punched her in the face, giving her a black eye.”
“Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited, Mr. Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura,” the court filing reads.
“He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallways and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”
Both parties shockingly settled the lawsuit a day after the documents were filed in federal court.
Cassie declined to comment to CNN on the unearthed video.
Douglas H. Wigdor, Cassie’s attorney, told the outlet, “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs.
“Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”
Neither Diddy nor his legal team have commented on the newly released video.
Diddy was hit with a wave of lawsuits in late 2023 and early 2024 with allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault. He has denied all claims against him.
