Exclusive CCTV Footage Shows Sean “Diddy” Combs Assaulting Cassie Ventura – CNN Report
The shocking surveillance video obtained by CNN shows Sean “Diddy” Combs in a violent altercation with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura back in 2016. The video captures Combs grabbing, shoving, dragging, and kicking Ventura during the incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
Ventura had filed a federal lawsuit in November related to the incident, and the recently obtained footage corroborates her allegations. The disturbing video shows Combs aggressively confronting Ventura in the hotel hallway, throwing her to the floor, kicking her while she’s down, and even throwing objects toward her.
Despite reaching a settlement, Ventura declined to comment on the video, while her attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, expressed deep concern over Combs’ behavior. Combs has denied the allegations in the past and has not yet provided a comment on the video.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office issued a statement expressing their distress over the footage but mentioned that the statute of limitations prevents them from pressing charges in this case. The LAPD is aware of the video but has not opened an investigation at this time.
Combs and Ventura, who were in an on-and-off relationship from 2007 to 2018, faced more accusations of misconduct following the incident. Combs denies these allegations, and ongoing civil lawsuits continue to surround him. Federal authorities also conducted searches at his homes in California and Florida as part of a human trafficking investigation related to the assault allegations.
Despite the ongoing legal battles, Combs maintains his innocence and vows to clear his name. The disturbing video sheds light on a troubling incident that serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and seeking help when needed. If you or someone you know is struggling with intimate partner violence, there are resources available, including the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
