In a disturbing turn of events, a 2016 surveillance video has recently emerged, allegedly showing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs assaulting singer Cassie Ventura. The release of this video has taken the entertainment industry by surprise, with many celebrities and fans speaking up against the brutal assault captured on camera.
In the footage released by CNN, a man believed to be Diddy can be seen chasing Cassie down a hotel hallway, grabbing her, pulling her to the ground, and kicking her multiple times. The incident dated back to March 2016, way before Diddy was accused by multiple women of sexual assault in the recent past. Being a powerful music star, he has seemingly tried his best to make the evidence vanish by using all his wealth and power.

Cassie Ventura’s Lawsuit Details Alleged Abuse And Video Acquisition
Cassie Ventura lawsuit, filed in November last year, detailed a history of abuse at the hands of Diddy throughout their decade-long relationship. The lawsuit outlined incidents of sexual assault, trafficking, and controlling behavior. It precisely painted a picture of a “cycle of abuse and violence.”
Notably, the lawsuit included the allegation that Diddy “paid $50,000 to obtain hotel surveillance footage of a physical altercation between them in 2016.” This is the same footage that was recently made public, and it was central to Ventura’s claims.
The graphic video, verified to have been filmed at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, shows a distraught Cassie exiting a hotel room while Diddy, clad only in a towel, chases her down the hallway. The video captures Diddy grabbing Cassie violently, throwing her to the ground, and kicking her.
The incident aligns with the timeline outlined in Ventura’s lawsuit. Interestingly, despite the lawsuit’s mention of the video, both parties reached a settlement just one day after the filing. It further left the details of the agreement and the video’s acquisition a mystery.
The fact that Diddy allegedly paid a significant sum to obtain the footage raises questions about his attempts to control the narrative and potentially suppress evidence, inviting more troubles for him.

Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, has broken his silence in response to the video. In an open letter shared on Instagram, Fine condemned all “abusers” and emphasized that “men who hit women aren’t men.” He further called out those who enable and protect such behavior, asserting that they too fall short of true masculinity.
He also urged men to check their brothers, friends, and family, emphasizing that violence against women should not be inevitable. His heartfelt words resonate with many affected by abuse, encouraging them to seek help and find genuine care.
While the legal case between Diddy and Cassie has been settled, the public court of opinion is just beginning. The release of the video is likely to have a significant impact on Diddy’s reputation and career as well as the numerous cases already going on against him. It remains to be seen whether he will address the allegations directly and how the industry will respond to the latest developments.
