Surveillance footage has viral showing Diddy assaulting his former-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, also known as Cassie, in 2016.
As per to CNN, the outlet obtained the exclusive footage, which was published in an article on Friday, May 17. The footage is reportedly dated March 5, 2016, and shows the ex couple at the “now-closed” InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
In the video, Ventura is seen after reportedly exiting a hotel room. She then walks to a set of elevators, and Combs, holding a towel around his waist, runs after Ventura. When he reaches her, he is seen grabbing the back of her neck and throwing her to the floor.
After turning around, Diddy kicks Ventura many times and retrieves her purse and other items from the floor.
From there, Diddy is seen dragging Ventura by her sweatshirt, looking like toward his room.
In a separate video, Ventura is seen walking to and picking up a hotel phone. Diddy then reappears and shoves Ventura into a corner beneath the camera.
As the video continues, Diddy is later seen sitting at a table and throwing an object in Ventura’s direction.
As per to the outlet, Ventura’s advocate, Douglas H. Wigdor, has released a statement about the footage.
“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,” Wigdor stated.
