Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Outrage as Diddy Sean Combs is seen running half naked in dropping white towel dragging Cassie on the floor after assaulting her in InterContinental Hotel in Century City in trending 2016 CCTV FOOTAGE.
A 2016 surveillance video obtained exclusively by CNN shows Sean “Diddy” Combs grab, shove, drag and kick his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura during an altercation that matches allegations in a now-settled federal lawsuit filed by Ventura in November.
The footage, compiled from multiple camera angles dated March 5, 2016, appears to show the rapper, producer and business mogul during an incident that, according to Ventura’s complaint, occurred at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. CNN verified the location based on publicly available photos of the former hotel’s interior.
In the video, Ventura exits a hotel room and walks to a bank of elevators. Combs, holding a towel around his waist, runs down a hall after Ventura. He grabs her by the back of the neck and throws her to the floor. Still holding his towel closed with one hand, he then turns to kick her, the video shows.
He catches up with Ventura before the elevator comes, striking and yanking Ventura by the hair and throwing her to the ground. The producer then kicks Ventura twice while she lies on the ground, picking up her bag and dragging her back toward the hotel rooms.
He then lets her go, appearing to say something to her as he walks back to a hotel room with her bag.
“The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs,” Doug Wigdor, Ventura’s lawyer, said in a statement to media Friday. “Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”
In a statement shared with USA TODAY Friday, a spokesperson for InterContinental Hotels Group said, “This hotel is no longer under IHG management, and we do not have any access to prior incident records or footage.”
Ventura left at one point, the lawsuit said, but because she was “in his vicious cycle of abuse,” she returned “with the intention of apologizing for running away.”
The suit continued: “When she returned, hotel security staff urged her to get back into a cab and go to her apartment, suggesting that they had seen the security footage.”
The lawsuit alleged that Diddy paid $50,000 to the hotel for the footage.
