Details of the Video
Surveillance footage obtained by CNN reportedly shows Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a 2016 hotel incident. The video captures multiple angles of the alleged attack, showing a man identified as Combs, wearing a towel, approaching a woman near an elevator, grabbing her, and throwing her to the ground. He then appears to kick her twice and drag her by her hooded sweatshirt. Later, Combs, sitting in a chair, throws an object toward the woman. The footage does not have audio, and NBC News has not independently verified the video.
Ventura’s Lawsuit
Cassie Ventura, 37, filed a federal lawsuit in November accusing Combs, 54, of rape and physical abuse throughout their relationship. The lawsuit described incidents of Combs punching, beating, kicking, and stomping her. Additionally, Ventura detailed a specific attack in March 2016, claiming that Combs, while drunk, punched her in the face, giving her a black eye. After Combs fell asleep, she tried to leave the hotel room but he woke up, followed her into the hallway, and threw glass vases at her. Hotel staff advised her to leave, suggesting they had seen security footage of the incident. Ventura alleged that Combs paid the hotel $50,000 to obtain the footage.
Combs has denied all allegations, calling them sickening. Furthermore, His attorney stated the settlement of the lawsuit was “in no way an admission of wrongdoing.”
Ongoing Legal Issues and Federal Investigation
Since Cassie’s lawsuit, Combs has faced multiple other accusations of sexual and physical abuse, including gang rape and other illegal activities. Moreover, He is currently under federal investigation, and agents searched his properties this spring. Furthermore, Three women and a man have been interviewed by federal officials regarding allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms. Firearms were found during the searches of his Los Angeles and Miami homes, but no additional details were provided.
Combs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, described the raid as an ambush and criticized the rush to judgment based on “meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.” He stated, “There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
A man named Brendan Paul, arrested on drug charges during the search of Combs’ properties agreed to a plea deal. Also, He accepted entry into a diversion program, which will result in the dismissal of the case against him upon completion.
