A new disturbing video is doing the rounds on X, allegedly showing Sean “Diddy” Combs beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a hotel in Los Angeles.
CNN obtained the video, which occurred on March 5, 2016, at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
The footage shows Combs running down the hall after Ventura and catching up to her as she waits for an elevator.
Combs grabs the woman and throws her on the ground before kicking her and dragging her back to the hotel room.
She slowly gets up and picks up a phone on the wall near the elevator as Combs walks back to the hotel room with her bags.
The rapper then shoves her into a corner, sits on a nearby chair, and throws an object at her.

Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs in November, accusing the rapper of abuse.
Combs settled the lawsuit the following day.
Combs’ attorney, Ben Brafman, said the rapper “vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.”
“A decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” he added.
“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.”
The video comes amid recent raids on two homes belonging to Combs in connection to an alleged sex trafficking investigation.
Multiple women and one man have been interviewed by federal investigators “in relation to allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms,” according to NBC.
