Diddy is seen violently attacking Cassie in resort surveillance footage
Shocking surveillance footage has emerged of Diddy violently attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel in 2016.
The video, obtained by CNN, shows the rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall.
As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her on to the ground.
He then kicked her as she lay on the ground motionless, before grabbing the two designer bags she’d tried to escape with.
Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.
The disturbing footage was filmed at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City in March 2016.
Two days later, the pair appeared on the red carpet holding hands for the premiere of The Perfect Match.
In a statement to DailyMail.com today, Cassie’s attorney Douglas Wigdor said: ‘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.’

Cassie sued Combs last year alleging rape and a range of other offenses.
They settled out of court in November.
In a statement at the time, Cassie said: ‘I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,’ Cassie said in a statement.
‘I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.’
The pair dated between 2007 and 2018, after meeting in 2006 when she was 19 and he was 37.
In lawsuits filed since their break-up, she has described a years-long, torturous relationship in which he controlled her movements and subjected her to abuse.
He has always denied wrongdoing.
They met while she was recording her debut album after her smash hit One Thing.
The footage of the March 2016 incident comes just two months after Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
He is also fighting lawsuits from other accusers who allege sexual misconduct and abuse.
