Video of Diddy Assaulting Cassie Is Even Worse Than You Think

TW: Domestic violence, Physical abuse

In the aftermath of the bombshell sexual assault lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, the scandal surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs has become increasingly complicated as more alleged victims have filed their own sexual harassment and sexual assault lawsuits against the Bad Boy founder. The prolific producer has repeatedly denied all the allegations against him, but newly released footage may make those denials more questionable.

In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit alleging that the music mogul raped and physically abused her during their 11 year relationship. In the suit, a specific incident where he allegedly assaulted her at a now closed InterContinental Hotel location in the Century City area of Los Angeles is described. The singer claims an “intoxicated” Diddy punched her, which resulted in a black eye. This prompted her to leave.

CNN states that it “verified the location based on publicly available photos of the former hotel’s interior,” so it seems like this could be the incident from the lawsuit.

The footage begins with Combs—wearing nothing but a towel—following Ventura into the hallway outside their hotel room. As she heads toward the elevators, he chases her down. In the video, which is seen from various camera angles, “He grabs her by the back of the neck and throws her to the floor…As Ventura is on the ground, Combs retrieves a purse and suitcase from the floor near the elevators. He turns around and kicks Ventura again as she lies motionless on the floor.” Diddy then drags Cassie back toward the hotel room and walks away. She get up and goes to the hotel phone near the elevators, but he follows her to the area and proceeds to throw a glass vase in her direction.

There’s no getting around how shocking and heartbreaking it is to view this footage. For all the non-believers who were asking why she didn’t just leave him if things were that bad, here’s your answer. She’s trying to get away and he violently stops her from doing so.

Despite other people who associated with the couple during their relationship coming forward to corroborate Cassie’s statements, there’s also been a lot of talk about how there’s no concrete evidence that Combs did the things she accused him of. Well, here’s your evidence on video. She’s trying to leave and he drags her back toward the room, literally kicking while she’s already down.

Diddy has a long history of controversy and legal trouble, but somehow he’s managed to maintain his reputation and success at every turn. Nothing sticks to him long enough for it to drag him down. Perhaps we’ve finally reached a breaking point, and he’ll actually have to deal with the consequences of his actions. However, history tells us people as rich as he is rarely pay for their transgressions. We just hope this video being released offers some vindication for Cassie.

Combs and Ventura settled the lawsuit the day after she filed it, with the rapper/producer denying the allegations against him.

In response to the video, Cassie’s lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor, released a statement:

“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.”

As of this writing, neither Diddy nor InterContinental Hotels has commented on the video.
