In a 2016 surveillance video obtained by CNN has surfaced, showing Sean “Diddy” Combs, now 54 years old, engaged in a violent altercation with his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The footage, recorded in a California hotel, depicts Diddy grabbing, shoving, dragging, and kicking Cassie in a shocking display of aggression.
The incident took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Despite the severity of the altercation, it had not been reported to the authorities at the time. Law enforcement sources informed TMZ that there is no record of this incident in police logs, suggesting it was never officially documented or reported.
The release of this video comes at a critical time, coinciding with Cassie’s recent lawsuit against Diddy. In her lawsuit, Cassie details the alleged abuse she endured throughout their relationship, shedding light on the troubling dynamics and severe nature of the abuse she claims to have suffered. The 2016 video now serves as a stark, visual confirmation of the violence described in her legal filings, providing tangible evidence to support her claims.
As depicted in the video, Cassie appears to be attempting to exit the hotel when Diddy chases her down. He then assaults her before dragging her back in the direction they both came from. This graphic display of violence underscores the gravity of the allegations Cassie has made in her lawsuit.
Diddy’s abuse of Cassie is not an isolated incident but part of a pattern within their tumultuous relationship. Cassie’s lawsuit paints a harrowing picture of sustained physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. The emergence of the 2016 video provides the public with a clear and undeniable visual confirmation of the abuse, which until now had been detailed primarily through Cassie’s legal filings.
The release of this video has brought renewed scrutiny and attention to the allegations against Diddy. It has sparked conversations about the nature of abusive relationships and the challenges victims face in seeking justice.
