Newly surfaced surveillance footage from 2016 paints a chilling picture of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ violent behavior towards his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The video, obtained by CNN, captures Combs aggressively assaulting Ventura in the confines of a hotel hallway, further amplifying concerns surrounding the rapper’s conduct.
In the disturbing footage, Combs is seen pursuing Ventura down the hallway of the now-closed InterContinental Hotel Century City in Los Angeles. Clad only in socks and a towel wrapped around his waist, he overtakes Ventura, forcefully throws her to the ground by the back of her neck, and proceeds to kick her multiple times while she’s down. In a harrowing sequence, he then snatches her belongings, kicks her once more, and drags her back along the corridor.
The video continues to unravel a distressing scene as Combs, seemingly devoid of remorse, retrieves Ventura’s bags and returns to their hotel room. Meanwhile, Ventura is left to pick herself up and seek refuge by the elevators, where Combs confronts her once more, pushing her into a corner and hurling an object off-camera.
Douglas Wigdor, Ventura’s lawyer, expressed profound dismay at the footage, emphasizing its confirmation of Combs’ alarming behavior. Ventura, who had already filed a lawsuit against Combs late last year alleging a history of physical and sexual abuse spanning over a decade, settled the case swiftly after its initiation.

Combs, vehemently refuting Ventura’s accusations, has maintained his innocence, with his attorney, Ben Brafman, adamantly denying any wrongdoing on his client’s part. However, the emergence of this damning video footage raises fresh questions about the extent of Combs’ misconduct.
Notably, Ventura’s courage in coming forward has emboldened others to step forward with similar allegations against Combs. In March, Homeland Security agents conducted raids on properties associated with the rapper, although the exact nature of these operations remains undisclosed. Nevertheless, reports suggest a connection to human trafficking investigations, underscoring the gravity of the situation surrounding Combs.
