Recently released footage of music producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, has shocked the public. The video, obtained from a 2016 hotel surveillance video, shows Diddy grabbing, kicking, and shoving Cassie during a violent altercation. This disturbing footage aligns with the allegations Cassie made in her lawsuit against Diddy last year, which was quickly settled.
In the footage, Cassie is seen emerging from a hotel room and heading towards the elevators, followed by Diddy carrying a towel around his waist. Diddy grabs Cassie by the neck and throws her to the floor, then proceeds to kick her multiple times as she lies motionless. The video captures the brutal attack, with Diddy even throwing objects at Cassie and shoving her repeatedly against a hallway wall.
Cassie’s lawyer has described the newly released footage as ‘gut-wrenching’ and confirming the predatory behavior of Diddy. The lawsuit she filed last year against the rapper, alleging control and abuse spanning over a decade, was settled swiftly after it was filed. The settlement agreement was satisfactory to both parties, with Cassie expressing gratitude for the support she received during the ordeal.
The lawsuit detailed disturbing allegations made by Cassie, accusing Diddy of drugging her, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with multiple male sex workers. She described a pattern of severe abuse that began early in their relationship in 2007, including uncontrollable rage and physical violence. Cassie also recounted a harrowing incident where Diddy broke into her home and coerced her into sleeping with him.
One specific incident referenced in the legal filing involved Diddy becoming enraged after seeing Cassie speak with another music manager at a party. This led to a violent outburst in the car, where Diddy beat and stomped on Cassie’s face, causing profuse bleeding. The lawsuit painted a grim picture of Diddy’s abusive behavior towards Cassie throughout their relationship, including acts of physical violence and coercion.
After the settlement of the lawsuit, both Cassie and Diddy released statements expressing a desire to move on amicably from the situation. Diddy denied all the accusations made by Cassie, but agreed to resolve the matter peacefully. The swift resolution of the case indicated a desire to put the past behind them, despite the serious and disturbing allegations that had been brought to light.
