In a recently released hotel security video by CNN, entertainer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is shown in a violent dispute with his former partner, Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura.
This altercation, which took place in March 2016, supports Cassie’s previous legal claims of enduring physical abuse from Combs, which were resolved in a settlement in late 2023.
Cassie reported that during their relationship from 2005 to 2018, Combs would regularly supply her with alcohol and illicit substances and subjected her to both sexual and physical abuse, including coercing her into relations with third-parties.
The shocking footage reveals Cassie trying to escape the confines of a hotel room before being aggressively pursued by Combs, who, scantily clad in a towel, assaults her by grabbing her neck, knocking her to the ground, and subsequently kicking her.

The camera then captures Combs as he takes Cassie’s suitcase and handbag near the elevator and drags her back towards the room.
Cassie appears to make an attempt to call for help at a hotel phone by the elevators when Combs confronts her again, pushing her to a corner sharply.
At one point in the video, Combs is also seen throwing what seems to be a vase in Cassie’s direction.
As the video gained public attention, Cassie refrained from commenting on the matter. However, her attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, described the video as wrenching amidst expressing that it solidifies the “disturbing and predatory behaviour” attributed to Sean Diddy Combs.
Wigdor commended Ventura for her audacity in disclosing these events, stating, “Ventura’s courage is immeasurable in our eyes, given the strength it took to bring these actions to light.”
Up until now, Combs has not provided any comments regarding the video that has gone viral.
