In a disturbing turn of events, CNN has exclusively obtained surveillance footage that appears to show music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs physically assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a Los Angeles hotel in March 2016
The video, compiled from multiple camera angles, depicts a heated altercation between the two in a hotel hallway.
It shows Combs forcefully grabbing Ventura, throwing her to the ground, and kicking her twice as she lies on the floor. Combs then attempts to drag Ventura back to their hotel room by her hair.
The incident matches allegations made by Ventura in a lawsuit filed against Combs in November 2023, which was settled the following day. In the lawsuit, Ventura claimed that Combs “became extremely intoxicated and punched Ms. Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye.” Ventura’s attorney, Doug Wigdor, expressed his client’s courage in coming forward and stated that the “gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behaviour of Mr. Combs.”
He added, “Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

The release of the surveillance footage comes on the heels of a series of civil lawsuits alleging Combs’ involvement in sex trafficking and sexual abuse, which he has repeatedly denied, eventually resulting in raids of his properties.
In a December 2023 statement, Combs responded to the claims, stating, “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.” Neither Combs nor Ventura have commented directly on the video, but the settlement reached in Ventura’s lawsuit was not an admission of wrongdoing, according to Combs’ attorney.
