The full, unedited hotel surveillance video of Sean “Diddy” Combs abusing his then-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, in 2016 has been released.
One of the newly revealed clips was captured by a camera positioned in the corner of a corridor at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, California.
The video, which lasts almost nine minutes, shows Ventura walking barefoot while wearing a dark, oversized hoodie and leggings. She carries a large bag as she moves down the hall before making a left turn into a part of the hotel not visible in the footage. (This area, which was also visible from a different angle released last year, contained two elevators.)
Moments afterward, the “Act Bad” rapper, dressed only in a robe around his waist and colorful socks, is seen sprinting down the hallway, following Ventura into the same restricted section of the hotel.
Combs, now 55, then dragged Ventura, now 38, by her hoodie back around the corner, where they were both in view of the camera.
The R&B star sat on the floor for a second as Combs began to walk back to his hotel room. As he got halfway down the hallway, Ventura stood up and returned to the elevators.
The Revolt co-founder, who held the bag that Ventura initially had in her hands, then turned around and went back toward his girlfriend.
They both were out of frame for a few seconds before Combs reemerged and exchanged words with Ventura before taking her things down the hallway back to his room.
The dad of seven then came down the hallway and began talking to Ventura, who was out of the frame, and pointing his finger at her.
Moments later, Ventura walked into the corner under the camera as security guard Israel Florez chatted with Combs.
Florez followed the “I’ll Be Missing You” emcee halfway down the hallway to the hotel room before Combs stopped and began talking to him.
Once Combs continued walking down to his room, Florez motioned for Ventura to come over, presumably to come get her things out of the room.
A few moments later, Ventura reemerged, holding two bags in her hands, and went to the elevators.
Florez then exited Combs’ room and headed for the elevators.
Combs later walked down the hallway to check out the part of the hotel with the elevators before he returned to his room.
The video concluded with two housekeepers chatting in the hallway.
The unedited surveillance footage was shown in court Tuesday as Ventura took the stand to testify in her ex’s sex-trafficking trial.
During her testimony, the model claimed Combs, whom she dated on and off for 10 years, had forced a male escort to urinate in her mouth, made her call him an incestuous name and hosted his longest sex- and drug-filled “Freak-Off” party for four days.
Florez testified Monday that Combs had offered him a stack of money to keep quiet about the hotel assault on Ventura. Photos that the LAPD officer took of the damage done in the hotel were also shown to the jury.
In November 2023, Ventura, filed a bombshell lawsuit against the “Last Night” rapper accusing him of rape and repeated physical abuse.
They settled the next day.
In May 2024, CNN published a shorter version of the hotel surveillance footage of Combs attacking Ventura.
Combs is currently on trial facing charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.
