Diddy has been caught on camera physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, with whom he settled a bombshell lawsuit back in November 2023.
In disturbing new footage obtained by CNN on Friday (May 17), a man identified as the embattled mogul can be seen in the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, CA, running from his hotel room, wearing nothing but a towel.
The incident, which took place on March 5, 2016, then cuts to Diddy grabbing Cassie by the neck and throwing her to the floor. He then kicks her repeatedly, grabs her personal items away from her, then kicks her once again before running back to his hotel room.
The “Me & You” singer then tries to use a hotel phone to call for assistance, which prompts the Bad Boy mogul to once again shove her down to the ground. He’s then seen sitting on a hotel chair, still wearing nothing but his towel, and throws what appears to be a vase in her direction.
According to TMZ, there does not seem to be a police report linked to the 2016 incident.
The LAPD also tells the outlet due to the 3-year statute of limitations that applies to crimes that took place before January 2020, they will not be investigating the assault or looking to file charges.

While Cassie declined to comment on the video, her attorney Douglas Wigdor issued a comment to the outlet saying, “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”
Diddy has previously denied all allegations made by Cassie in her lawsuit.
Just one day after Cassie filed her lawsuit against Diddy back in November 2023, the parties reached what was called an “amicable” agreement.
“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” Cassie (real name Casandra Ventura) said in a statement (via the New York Post). “I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.”
Diddy (real name Sean Combs) shared his own statement, in which he explained the former couple had come to an agreement amicably.
“We have decided to resolve this matter amicably,” he said. “I wish Cassie and her family all the best.”
No details about the settlement have been disclosed.
Diddy’s attorney Ben Brafman addressed the settlement in a statement given to HipHopDX on November 18.
“Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” the attorney wrote. “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.”
Branfman also previously claimed that Cassie was trying to shake Diddy down for money, and filed the “frivolous” lawsuit when he refused to comply.
“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” Branfman’s statement began. “For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.
“Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”
Here we gooooo! 50 cent having a field day today lol
King of denial.
Hopefully someone also holds the hotel accountable for not calling the police as well
Yeah, your first inclination is to think of the hotel workers who make $50,000 a year. That’s not their job. All they could have done is kick him out, and he just would have gone somewhere else and spent his money. Some of you watch too many movies.
You don’t know my first inclination you just know what I posted. Don’t make an assumption.
You posted that dumb shit, so it was your first inclination. The hotel is out of business by the way. Somebody came out of the elevator as she was getting her ass whooped. I’m sure plenty of people saw her regularly getting her ass whooped. Plenty saw Kim Porter getting it, and he killed her. Old Law and Order SVU fantasy dumbass. Instead of saying finally this piece of shit is getting what he desreves, your stupid ass talking about holding the hotel accountable, a hotel that’s no longer in existence, instead of the piece of shit who was beating this girl like she stole something.
@silent_partnet dude, you practically live on this site LOL. 9 comments on this article alone.
@ the Bitch Wtf,
Bitch shut the fuck up. I’ll comment on whatever I want to comment on. I’m not on here anymore than anyone else, and you act like it takes a lot to pull up your phone and comment. Stop being a weirdo bitch.
Yo, this MF needs his a$$ whipped. The video don’t lie so what’s the excuse now. Not only have destroyed your legacy wait till family members start looking at you sideways. You deserve everything that’s coming to you and more. Carry on!!!
It’s a wrap.
That’s what I said. He’s done
This chumps kid was just making diss songs defending his daddy… what does Meek Mill the prison reform warrior from the trenches have to say bout this?
Oh, he’s absolutely fucked. Sure, he’ll still be rich, but he’s going to be a pariah henceforth until he’s dead.
Lemme guess…it’s The Illuminati’s fault.
If he didn’t sue those vodka folks, he wouldn’t be in this. Conspiracy nuts are the dumbest people in the world. Never mind he’s beating the dog shit out of that little girl.
Anyone who believes it’s because he sued “The Illuminati” isn’t a serious person. He’s in this situation because he’s an a lifelong predator. Period.
How do we know it’s me on the video?! I’m not saying I don’t run around half naked throwing vases.
I’m saying that could easily be any number of Really Rich good looking people throwing Vases and beating up Cassie. They want you to believe that I threw that vase. I need you to believe me that I didn’t do that I was somewhere else making casseroles.
You said Time Tells Truth just the other day. You put it on Instagram. I read the article right here. You knew this video was about to drop, didn’t you?
Damn Puff, that shit looked horrible. Disgusting actually
I wonder if his wanna be gangsta son will make a song about this ?
This is who kendrick supports by the way
Remember he beat Drake like this too?
What a bitch ass for laying his hand on a female like that and than kicking her while she’s on the ground. I will never ever listen to any music this punk ass is featured on. Hope his ass will be sentenced and blackmailed by the industry.
I’m sure many was unfairly treated by this dude. I especially think of the artists on the Bad Boy roster. Karma comes by eventually.
I wish Cassie all the best in life – all the happiness and prosperity.
The Puffy dickriders still saying I don’t know about all this. That’s probably a look alike that did that. Real Deal Gene been telling you what it is for years now. Sick fuck going where he belongs. Don’t bring up that black man shit now. Beating on that girl since she was 19 years old. Put his ass under the jail, him and his demon seeds because they’re into the same shit.
IDK.. Gene kept hush until the money left.
He’s been talking about this at least 10 or 15 years, and people been calling him a clout chaser and liar.
Damn…. he’s done
One thing that the Puppet Masters do to “powerful black moguls” is to make them believe that they’re untouchable, and have seats at the tables. Once they decide to destroy one of them, it’s pretty much over. Puffy is “wealthy” and “powerful” because the Puppet Masters allowed it.
They don’t make them believe shit. These were already degenerate people. Someone said a long time ago that money will only make you more of what you already are. Sean been raping hoes since he was 20 years old. We have stories of him spazzing out on people back at Uptown. He’s always been this maniacal fuckhead who thought he could do whatever he wanted because of his underground connections through his dad and then he connected with those people who run all of entertainment who needed an amoral POS to be their ally while they methodically dismantled hip hop brick by brick. There was an alliance that dudes tried to build to put all black music under one umbrella with a union for artist, and every one of those dudes caught cases in short order. The ones who even worked with or under him like Shakir Stewart or Chris Lighty catching bullets in the head with fake stories about them committing suicide. We know he put the hit out on Pac. We know he tried to blow up Cudi’s car. We know he came at all of the young rappers in the game today on some bully shit. We know he is the reason Biggie got killed. This is a sick fuck and always has been. White executives didn’t make him act like this. They just knew he was an ally in what they were doing.
And I thought I got done dirty
And I thought I got done dirty
“I still don’t see what the big deal is”.
-me, probably
Puffy runnin down the hall like Patrick Bateman. He’s finished, even Trump couldn’t come back from this.
This was just the first video out of the stash. Wait until those Cheek Mill videos or some of that other weird shit that was going on leaks out. Word to Lil Rod. Stevie J getting top from men. Your favorite rapper sucking dick and getting butt fucked at the same time. Like I said on the Cardi B story yesterday about how they made a bet that they could make her hot, these degenerate executives been laughing at what they turned hip hop into after they bought it out 20 years ago. So this weird shit is par for the course. It’s why so many weird rappers have gotten on the last 20 years, and you couldn’t understand why. You’re about to find out.
The problem I have is with us/ you. Why did we need this video to show puffy is a piece for shit? Anyone who been following this is not surprised with this video. Fuck puffy and hate me more for saying fuck you if you didn’t believe it.
And I’ll say this with 100% confidence puffy killed his ex wife Kim porter.
Everybody knows that he did. That’s the sick part. Shakir Stewart, Chris Lighty, got Pac hit, and a few other people. No worse stain on hip hop and the main reason why it’s in the state it’s in today. They wanted his bitch ass to be the face of the game with those executives puppet mastering from behind the scenes while they ruined it. Now, you see more of why the last month happened with the so called “beef.”
Also, I love to type out vivid descriptions of homo sex because I’m not gay, obviously.
“Brother Love” 🤣😂
Whoever wrote this needs to stop copying other people’s stories all the time and create your own.. we’ve SEEN the facts LIVE!, but all u did( really late too considering this is a “hiphop site” ) was put up somebody else shit lol.. you guys need to be WAY more pro.
R Kelly vibes.
So what now Diddy? Is it time for the “For many years i had a serious alcohol and drug problem and i am no longer that person in the video.” All i know is if he does talk about this put on your hip boots. God i hate him.
Have the small hat owned media already managed to blame this on huwite soupremacists? Clearly this black man is victim of systemic oppression.
Just think this girl was 9 or 10 when he got Pac killed and then got his own artist killed, singing that wack ass jacked song from Sting. He was beating Kim Porter’s ass back then and terrorizing Al B. Sure in the meantime.
This is Brother Love, apparently.
Run from surge and pac but beat the hell out that chick, coward and a punk
I would like to see how they spin this. He’s seems way too comfortable beating her up. I wonder how many women he’s done that to. He’s a punk to be honest.
That’s what I’m thinking. This is more public than indoors. So what about what transpired indoors when video cameras could not capture it. I disliked Puff for a minute (for a long time).
Been there done that i have never done that to a woman before not by
a longshot i think it could be hard drugs and guess what with his latest album out oh man
Puff Daddy takes dick in his ass. That’s a fact.
50’s gonna have a hay day with this hahahaha.
Diddy done did it. Is he going to blame AI 🤔”it’s a deepfake yo” we don’t believe your lies mr Diddler
Shes probably annoying AF
how do yall know this isnt ai created video?
Diddy´s lawyer has to come forward and make more comments such as ” “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” the attorney wrote. “Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims.
