P. Diddy was seen in recently revealed footage shoving, kicking, and throwing objects at Cassie Ventura. The pair previously settled a lawsuit where she alleged he raped her among other crimes
Footage from 2016 depicts Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs physically assaulting Cassie Ventura.
Cassie came forward with allegations against the rapper in Nov. 2023. However, Diddy and Cassie settled the lawsuit out of court in a timely manner. According to court documents obtained by The Mirror, she alleged that “he raped her and perpetually abused her for years.”
The surveillance footage from the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, obtained by CNN, seems to show Diddy and Cassie in an altercation that matches events described in her lawsuit.

The video shows Cassie walking toward the elevators in the hallway of the hotel. Diddy then runs after Cassie, grabs her by the neck, and throws her to the ground while holding a towel around his waist.
He is then seen kicking her twice and retrieving luggage that was by the elevator before dragging her by a sweatshirt toward a room. After Cassie stands up, video footage shows through a mirror that Diddy appears to shove her. He’s additionally seen sitting in a chair in only a towel before throwing an object at Cassie.
Cassie’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, told The Mirror: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.

Ben Brafman, Diddy’s lawyer, previously said in a statement that “Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.” He added: “For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.
“Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”
Diddy was hit with a series of allegations in recent months, including five in New York ahead of the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act. He has denied all allegations.
