Surveillance footage of Diddy physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a hotel in 2016 surfaced on May 17. 

CNN obtained video of the incident, which corroborates some of the allegations in Cassie’s 2023 lawsuit against the Hip-Hop mogul. The video showed Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, chasing down Cassie in a hotel hallway. Diddy, wearing nothing but a towel, caught up to Cassie at the elevator doors. Diddy grabbed Cassie and viciously threw her to the ground. He kicked her twice and attempted to drag her back to his room. Cassie escaped his grasp at some point and picked up a hotel phone.
