Recently obtained surveillance footage appears to support abuse claims against music mogul Sean Diddy Combs. The video, captured in March 2016 at a Los Angeles hotel, shows Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The footage aligns with Ventura's lawsuit filed in November 2023, which was settled within a day.
In the video, Combs can be seen hitting Ventura, throwing objects at her, and dragging her on the floor. Ventura's lawsuit alleged that Combs became intoxicated, punched her, and physically assaulted her, resulting in a black eye. The disturbing footage corroborates these claims.
Despite settling the lawsuit quickly, Combs' attorney emphasized that it was not an admission of wrongdoing. Ventura's attorney described the video as gut-wrenching and confirmed Combs' predatory behavior. Ventura, who dated Combs for a decade, has accused him of rape and sex trafficking during their relationship.
Combs, facing multiple lawsuits, including five alleging sexual assault, has vehemently denied all accusations. He recently filed motions to dismiss some of the lawsuits against him, maintaining his innocence. However, the newly surfaced video contradicts his denials and adds weight to the allegations.
The video's release comes amidst a series of controversies surrounding Combs, including raids on his properties in connection to sex trafficking investigations. The public scrutiny and legal battles have cast a shadow over his reputation, with Ventura's case being just one piece of a larger puzzle of allegations against him.
As the legal proceedings unfold, Combs continues to defend himself against the mounting accusations. The video serves as a stark reminder of the serious nature of the claims and the ongoing legal battles that lie ahead for the music mogul.
