- Cassie Ventura vs P. Diddy takes a new turn
- A new video from 2016 has surfaced
- THIS is what we know now
In a sensational turn of events, a 2016 surveillance video has surfaced, showcasing a violent altercation between Sean "Diddy" Combs and his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The footage, which aligns with allegations made in a now-settled federal lawsuit by Ventura, reveals a shocking sequence of aggression at the now-defunct InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
This was Ventura's brave confrontation of her ordeal, and the legal battles that ensued.
Ventura's Valiant Stand
March 5, 2016, will forever be etched in the annals of celebrity controversies as the day Sean "Diddy" Combs was captured in a series of aggressive acts against Cassie Ventura.
The video, obtained exclusively by CNN, displays Combs in a barely-there towel, chasing Ventura down a hotel hallway, physically assaulting her with a series of grabs, shoves, and kicks. The altercation didn't end there; Combs was also seen throwing objects at Ventura, adding to the harrowing ordeal.
Despite the trauma, Ventura took a stand against Combs, filing a federal lawsuit that detailed not just the 2016 incident but years of alleged abuse.
Her attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, praised her courage, stating, "Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light." Ventura, choosing the path of silence post-settlement, lets her actions speak volumes about her quest for justice.
In response to the allegations and the lawsuit, Combs' representatives have been quick to deny any wrongdoing. Ben Brafman, Combs' attorney, labeled the allegations as "offensive and outrageous," asserting Combs' vehement denial.
Despite settling the lawsuit—a move Brafman insists is not an admission of guilt—Combs' legal troubles have only deepened, with ongoing investigations and multiple lawsuits painting a grim picture of the mogul's off-camera persona.

The dust has far from settled for Combs, as his name continues to be marred by accusations and federal investigations into alleged sexual misconduct and other illegal activities.
But it's far from over. The search of Combs' properties by Homeland Security, under the shadow of human trafficking investigations, adds another layer of controversy to his already tumultuous public image.
