Cassie Ventura seen with bruises just days after she was ‘kicked & beaten’ by ex Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in shock 2016 video
SEAN “Diddy” Combs’ ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura was seen with several bruises on her body just 48-hours after she alleges the rapper kicked and beat her up at a hotel.
Horrific footage appears to show Combs, 54, physically assaulting Cassie, 37, in a hotel hallway in 2016 leaving her on the floor motionless despite the music mogul denying any abuse claims.

Two days after the alleged assault, the couple were seen on the red carpet holding hands ahead of a movie premiere with Cassie riddled with marks.
Three clear bruises can be seen on her legs with another nasty bump showing on her left shoulder.
Cassie first mentioned the March 5, attack in a lawsuit against the Bad Boy mastermind in New York in November 2023.
She made the bombshell allegations recalling that an “extremely intoxicated” Combs “punched her in the face, giving her a black eye”.
In the photos from the premiere of The Perfect Match Cassie doesn’t appear to have a black eye but several bruises are evident.
The disturbing surveillance footage shows Combs, holding a towel around his waist, chasing after Cassie as she waited for an elevator at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.
Combs then forcefully strikes Cassie before throwing her on the floor and kicking her as she lies motionless.
The rapper grabs her bag and purse, continues his assault, and proceeds to drag her across the elevator bank into the hallway.
A second camera angle obtained by CNN showed the moments after the assault as Cassie slowly stood up to get her belongings.
Combs sits on a chair directly in front of a distraught Cassie as she tries to grab her phone.
Moments later, Combs grabs what appears to be a vase from a table and aggressively launches it at Cassie.
‘Diddy’ Sean Combs sued by ex Cassie for rape and abuse over ten years as rapper ‘vehemently’ denies shock allegations
Cassie’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, described the footage as “gut-wrenching”.
Court documents read: “Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited, Mr. Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura.
“He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her.
“He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallways and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”
In the lawsuit, Cassie claimed that Combs paid the same hotel $50,000 (£39,000) for the footage of the attack to keep it under wraps.
Cassie also sued her ex claiming she was raped alongside a range of other offenses.
Both parties shockingly settled the entire lawsuit a day after the documents were filed in federal court.
Combs’ lawyer Ben Brafman spoke on the lawsuit at the time saying: “Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.
“For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.”
He described the claims as “riddled with baseless and outrageous lies”.
Neither Combs nor his legal team have commented on the newly released video.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Combs’ team for comment.
The pair first met around 2006 when Cassie was just a 19-year-old and Diddy was 37.
They started dating a year later and were on and off up until 2018.
Recent claims against Diddy
DIDDY has been hit with a wave of lawsuits in the past two years with allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault.
Cassie, Diddy’s longtime girlfriend, sued him in November 2023, claiming she endured “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until their relationship ended in 2018. Diddy and Cassie settled the suit the day after it was filed.
Diddy was hit with two more lawsuits a week later when Joi Dickerson accused him of drugging and raping her as he filmed the attack when she was a 19-year-old college student in January 1991.
A second accuser in a separate lawsuit claimed that Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990 or 1991 then showed up at her apartment and beat her several days later.
Diddy was sued again in December by a woman who claimed he and two men gang-raped her in 2003 when she was 17 years old.
In February 2024, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, who helped produce Diddy’s most recent album, claimed that the mogul sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him from September 2022 to November 2023 as they worked together.
Diddy has denied all claims against him.
It comes as a pair of homes linked to the hip-hop star were reportedly raided by federal agents, earlier this year.
Dramatic video showed the moment heavily armed Homeland Security officers descended on a home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, in March.
Several individuals were later seen in handcuffs sitting on the lawn of the Holmby Hills mansion.
Homeland Security has been tight-lipped about what was being searched for but videos from the California raid showed it completely turned upside down.
Cabinets were thrown open and papers, clothes, and other items were scattered around the home.
As doors were ripped off their frames and secret safes expertly cracked open.
Diddy’s attorney, Aaron Dyer, blasted the raids as an “overuse of military-level force” in the team’s first remarks since federal agents stormed the properties.
Dyer went on to clarify that Combs “was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.”
