Shocking surveillance footage has surfaced from 2016 showing rapper Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, violently attacking his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, in a hotel hallway. In the video, Diddy is seen shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist as he chases Cassie down the hall, grabbing her by the back of the head and slamming her to the ground. He then kicks her while she is lying motionless before dragging her back to their room by her hoodie. The disturbing incident took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, and two days later, Diddy and Cassie appeared on the red carpet holding hands for a movie premiere.
Cassie later sued Diddy in 2023, alleging rape and other offenses, and the case was settled out of court in November of that year. The lawsuit shed light on a years-long abusive relationship where Diddy controlled Cassie’s movements and subjected her to abuse. Despite their breakup in 2018, Cassie has continued to speak out against Diddy’s behavior, with her attorney Douglas Wigdor stating that the recently released video further confirms the rapper’s disturbing and predatory behavior. Diddy has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and the relationship between him and Cassie began in 2007 when she was 19 and he was 37, after meeting in 2006.
The footage of Diddy attacking Cassie comes just months after his homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security in connection with a sex trafficking investigation. The rapper is also facing lawsuits from other accusers alleging sexual misconduct and abuse. Despite the ongoing legal battles and allegations, Diddy and Cassie’s relationship and their public appearances continued until the incident at the hotel in 2016. The video of the attack has sparked outrage and further discussions about the treatment of women in abusive relationships and the power dynamics at play.
Cassie’s decision to come forward with the footage and her legal action against Diddy has been met with support from her family, fans, and legal team. The lawsuit filed by Cassie and the subsequent settlement highlight the importance of holding abusers accountable for their actions and seeking justice for survivors of domestic violence. The disturbing nature of the video and the allegations against Diddy have once again brought attention to the prevalence of abuse in intimate relationships and the need for survivors to speak out and seek help. The impact of the incident on Cassie and the ongoing legal battles for Diddy demonstrate the complexities of addressing abuse and seeking justice in cases of domestic violence.
