Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ violent behavior towards his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, has been brought to light through disturbing CCTV footage obtained by CNN. The video, dated March 5, 2016, was reportedly compiled from multiple camera angles at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. The location matches the details provided by Ventura in her complaint. The footage captures Combs, clad only in a towel, grabbing Ventura by the neck, throwing her to the floor, and kicking her aggressively twice. He then drags her back towards their hotel room. Ventura attempts to reason with Combs, who had left her in the hallway to gather her belongings. Upon his return, he appears to shove her again. Seconds later, Combs forcefully throws an object at Ventura from across the hallway towards the elevator.
Ventura has declined to comment on the video, but her husband, Alex Fine, released a statement condemning violence against women and expressing support for survivors. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has issued a statement acknowledging the disturbing nature of the footage but citing the statute of limitations as a barrier to prosecution. Despite the legal limitations, the video has sparked outrage and calls for accountability for domestic violence perpetrators.
