A disturbing video was posted on Friday that allegedly showed Sean “Diddy” Combs beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a hotel in Los Angeles.
CNN, which obtained the video, said that the incident happened on March 5, 2016, at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
The video purportedly shows Combs running down the hall after Ventura and catching up to her as she waited for an elevator.
Combs allegedly grabbed her, threw her on the ground, kicked her, and attempted to drag her back to the hotel room.

She later slowly gets up and picks up a phone on the wall near the elevator as Combs walked back to the hotel room with her bags.
He later returned and appeared to shove her in a corner before sitting on a nearby chair and throwing an object at her.

Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs in November accusing the music mogul of abuse.
Combs settled the lawsuit the following day.
Ben Brafman, an attorney for Combs, said that Combs “vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.”
“A decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” he added. “Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”
The release of the video comes after federal law enforcement officials with the Department of Homeland Security executed raids on two homes belonging to Combs in March in connection to an alleged sex trafficking investigation.
Multiple women and at least one man have been interviewed by federal investigators “in relation to allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms,” NBC News reported at the time.
