Surveillance footage showing Sean “Diddy” Combs repeatedly assaulting his then-girlfriend, the singer Cassie Ventura, in a hotel in 2016 has been obtained by CNN.
The footage captured an incident on March 5th, 2016 at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. In the video, Combs is seen chasing after Ventura down a hotel hallway, grabbing her by the neck and throwing her to the ground. He then repeatedly kicks her, and also throws an object in her direction.
Last year, Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs which alleged rape and years of repeated physical abuse. The incident at the InterContinental Hotel was cited in the lawsuit.
Ventura reached an undisclosed settlement with Combs.
In a statement addressing the surveillance footage, her attorney Douglas H. Wigdor, told CNN: “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.”
