In a shocking revelation, CNN has obtained a 2016 surveillance video showing Sean “Diddy” Combs physically assaulting Cassie Ventura. The footage, captured at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, shows Combs beating Ventura and throwing glass vases at her. This video emerges amid a broader legal and public controversy surrounding the former couple’s tumultuous relationship.
Cassie Ventura recently filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of a decade-long pattern of physical and sexual abuse. The lawsuit, settled just a day after its filing, alleges that Combs subjected Ventura to a “cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking,” coercing her into sex with other men while he watched and recorded the encounters. Ventura also claimed Combs used drugs and alcohol to manipulate her and exert control over her career and personal life (AOL.com) (True Crime Daily).
The emergence of the surveillance video adds a stark visual confirmation to Ventura’s allegations, intensifying the scrutiny on Combs. As the legal and social fallout continues, this development highlights the ongoing issues of power dynamics and abuse in high-profile relationships.
