Hotel surveillance video from 2016 shows Sean "Diddy" Combs violently attacking, kicking, and shoving his former partner Cassie Ventura, who filed a federal lawsuit against the music producer last year. The footage, obtained by CNN, matches the description of a physical altercation Ventura detailed in her now-settled lawsuit against Combs. Combs is seen running in a towel after Ventura, who is seen standing in front of an elevator bank. He aggressively grabs and drags her down, kicks her before picking up her luggage, and then drags her on the floor back to a hotel room as she braces her head.
CNN confirmed the location based on publicly available photos of the former hotel's interior. Ventura, who had been in a decadelong relationship with Combs in the early 2000s, filed a lawsuit in New York federal court last November alleging sex trafficking, human trafficking, sexual battery, sexual assault, and gender-motivated violence. Ventura alleged that Combs paid $50,000 for the InterContinental Century City $50,000 for the hallway surveillance footage from that incident.
Combs also allegedly faces a federal investigation. Department of Homeland Security agents conducted raids on Combs' multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angeles and his Miami waterfront home on March 25. The raids came as the producer faces a mounting list of civil lawsuits that allege abuse and sexual assault by multiple victims spanning over 30 years.
