Back in 2016, there was a lot of buzz around a video that supposedly showed Sean "Diddy" Combs getting physical with his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at a hotel. According to reports, the footage captured Diddy chasing Cassie down a hallway, grabbing her, shoving her, and even kicking her while she was down. It was pretty shocking stuff.
Fast forward to November 2023, and Cassie settled a lawsuit against Diddy where she accused him of some pretty serious stuff, like sex trafficking and sexual assault. The court documents painted a pretty grim picture of their relationship, with Cassie alleging that Diddy was abusive both physically and emotionally.
The lawsuit mentioned a specific incident in March 2016 at a hotel in Los Angeles where Diddy supposedly got wasted and punched Cassie in the face, giving her a black eye. It didn't stop there though; apparently, he went on a rampage, throwing glass vases at her as she tried to escape. Pretty intense, right?
Even after Cassie managed to get away and take a cab home, she felt compelled to return to the hotel because she was afraid of making Diddy even angrier. The lawsuit claimed that hotel security even urged her to leave again, hinting that they had seen the security footage of Diddy's violent outburst.
Speaking of footage, there were allegations that Diddy dropped a hefty sum of $50,000 to get his hands on the security video from that night. It's all pretty sketchy, and Diddy has denied everything. ABC News tried to get a comment from his reps, but no luck.
Cassie's lawyer didn't hold back, saying that the video only confirmed what they already knew about Diddy's behavior. He praised Cassie for her bravery in speaking out and taking a stand against abuse. It's a sobering reminder that fame and fortune don't exempt anyone from facing consequences for their actions.
