Cassie Ventura has hit back at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs\u2019 allegation that the video footage of him assaulting her was edited.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combs<\/a>\u00a0is currently awaiting trial and being held at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after he was\u00a0arrested in September 2024<\/a>. He faces\u00a0charges<\/a>\u00a0of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and prostitution – allegations he has denied.<\/p>\n

In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against her ex alleging that he subjected her to a decade-long \u2018cycle of abuse, violence and sex trafficking\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ventura\u00a0filed a lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0in Federal District Court in Manhattan alleging Combs ‘frequently beat’ her during their on-off\u00a0relationship<\/a>\u00a0from 2007 to 2018.<\/p>\n

Just one day later, Combs and Ventura\u00a0announced they’d reached a settlement<\/a>, however, footage was later shared online of an incident in 2016, which showed the rapper and producer chasing her through a corridor, wearing only a towel, before appearing to physically assault her.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Ventura said: “After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their\u00a0relationships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“With the expiration of New York\u2019s Adult Survivors Act fast approaching, it became clear that this was an opportunity to speak up about the trauma I have experienced and that I will be recovering from for the rest of my life.”<\/p>\n

The video is dated as being from March 5, 2016 and shows Ventura and Combs at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Ventura\u2019s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor,\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0CNN: “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.”<\/p>\n

Cassie\u2019s legal team has recently hit out against Combs\u2019 claim that the hotel surveillance video is edited.<\/p>\n

Wigdor said the footage is authentic and hopes that it will be admitted as evidence in Combs\u2019 trial.<\/p>\n

In a statement to DailyMail.com, the attorney\u00a0said<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s not surprising Diddy would make a disingenuous argument to exclude the disturbing video from being shown to the jury in the upcoming trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI am confident that the video fairly and accurately represents what happened, will be admitted into evidence, and that Combs will be held accountable for his depravity.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes in response to Combs\u2019 team alleging that CNN altered and even destroyed the original video, stating that it should be omitted from evidence in court.<\/p>\n

Combs\u2019 team told the Daily Mail: \u201cOur written and oral communications with CNN\u2019s counsel was clear – they destroyed the original video file they received from their source.\u201d<\/p>\n

CNN hit back,\u00a0telling<\/a>\u00a0TMZ: \u201cCNN never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage, which was retained by the source. CNN aired the story about the video several months before Combs was arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the footage was released,\u00a0Combs took to Instagram to apologize to Cassie<\/a>, stating: \u201cMy behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was disgusted then when I did it. I\u2019m disgusted now,\u201d he added. \u201cI went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I\u2019m so sorry. But I\u2019m committed to be a better man each and every day. I\u2019m not asking for forgiveness. I\u2019m truly sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

UNILAD has reached out to Combs’ representatives for comment.<\/p>\n
