P Diddy Assaults Cassie in Video: New Footage Surfaces from 2016 Incident

CCTV footage shows rapper Sean Combs attacking singer Cassie in hotel, confirming predatory behavior. Lawsuits and investigations have followed.

The shocking CCTV footage that has surfaced, showing Sean Combs allegedly attacking singer Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel, has only served to solidify the disturbing and predatory behavior of the rapper, according to her lawyer. The video, obtained by CNN, captures Combs, also known as P Diddy and Puff Daddy, in a white towel, physically assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway back in March 2016. The footage depicts Combs punching, kicking, shoving, and dragging Cassie, as well as throwing objects in her direction. This incident closely mirrors the details of a lawsuit filed by Cassie in November, accusing Combs of years of sexual abuse and violence, which was settled the day after it was filed.

Following this incident, several more lawsuits were filed against Combs, along with a federal criminal sex-trafficking investigation that led to raids on his properties in Los Angeles and Miami. Despite the allegations, Combs has consistently denied any wrongdoing through his lawyers. Cassie's lawyer praised her courage in coming forward and shedding light on the predatory behavior of Combs, as seen in the gut-wrenching video.

While the LAPD could investigate if Cassie were to file a complaint, charges would likely be declined due to California's one-year statute of limitations for assault, considering the alleged incident took place nearly eight years ago. The video, verified by CNN, was shot at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, as confirmed by publicly available images. Representations for Combs have yet to comment on the video, but the footage itself speaks volumes about the disturbing nature of the allegations against him.
