Watch the full, unedited video of Sean ‘Diddy' Combs violently abusing Cassie Ventura in hotel
One of the previously unseen clips was recorded on a camera placed in the corner of a hallway in the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Calif.
In the 15-minute video above, Ventura, who was barefoot and dressed in a dark-colored, oversized hoodie and leggings, is seen carrying a large bag as she walked down the hallway and turned left into another area of the hotel that was out of view. (That area, which was shown in another angle released last year, had two elevators.)
Seconds later, the 'Act Bad' rapper, who wore nothing but a robe around his waist and colored socks, is shown running down the hallway and entering the same part of the hotel that the 'Me & U' singer turned into.
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.

‘Bear With Me' Review: An Omnibus of the Ursine
A world bereft of an academic appraisal of celebrity bears would somehow seem deficient, so a growl of appreciation is due Daniel Horowitz, whose 'Bear With Me' tells us tons about Teddy, Smokey, Pooh, Paddington and even the dreadful Berenstains. Mr. Horowitz, a professor emeritus of American studies at Smith College and a prolific author, tells us early on that bears appear in the Bible maybe 14 times while lions, sheep and goats get hundreds of mentions. But as the years passed bears came on strong, inspiring Michael Bond's Paddington Bear, A.A. Milne's Pooh and William Faulkner's Old Ben. Bears also caught the eye of guys who knew how to make the truly big bucks, including stuffed-animal entrepreneurs, P.T. Barnum and Walt Disney. Bear superstars get plenty of ink. The ubiquitous Teddy, for instance, was created out of a marriage of mercy and capitalist enthusiasm. The story began when Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear during a 1902 Mississippi hunt (his guide was a former slave named Holt Collier, who had been a Confederate scout). T.R. blasted plenty of animals but killing this bear, which Collier had subdued and tied to a tree, would have been more an execution than a legitimate act of killing for sport. The press initially mauled the president for his refusal to dispatch the animal (it appears Collier might have later done the deed with a knife) but in the wilds of Brooklyn, N.Y., a Jewish immigrant couple saw an opportunity and created a stuffed 'Teddy's Bear' they displayed in their candy-store window. Roosevelt reportedly approved their request to use his name to market the stuffed bears (other manufacturers soon followed suit) and the rest is history.

Sean Combs Assault Lawsuit From ‘Making the Band' Singer Sees Most Claims Dismissed
Sean Combs won't have to face most of a sexual assault lawsuit from Sara Rivers, who accused the music mogul of groping her when she was a contestant on Making the Band 2. The complaint from Rivers was filed earlier this year, near the height of legal scrutiny around Combs. She claimed Combs cornered her at his recording studio in New York before proceeding to brush his left hand across her breast. The lawsuit, which also named Universal Music Group, Bad Boy Records and Paramount's MTV, claimed assault and battery, sexual harassment and hostile work environment. Rivers sought at least $60 million.

Combs' defense in the lawsuit mostly revolved around arguments that Rivers brought the lawsuit too late. The alleged misconduct occurred more than 20 years ago, far past the one to ten year statute of limitations for most of the claims, the rap mogul's lawyer said. 'From the outset, we have said these claims were meritless, time-barred, and legally deficient,' said Erica Wolff, a lawyer for Combs, in a statement. 'The Court agreed, finding no legal basis to allow them to proceed.' The sole remaining claim against Combs alleges a violation of the of New York's gender-motivated violence protect act, which covers sex crimes, among other things. A decision on whether the claim will be allowed to proceed will be issued when a federal appeals court determines whether a recent amendment to the law allowing lawsuits to be filed for two years even if the window to sue had passed is preempted by another New York law that provided a similar mechanism for victims of sexual violence to pursue civil claims. Rivers was represented by Ariel Mitchell, who Combs sued for defamation over comments she and her client, Courtney Burgess, made over his alleged involvement in sex parties with celebrities and minors. The rap mogul seeks at least $100 million. The court said it will issue an opinion elaborating on the dismissal soon. Mitchell didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In July, Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges but found guilty of prostitution-related offenses under the Mann Act, which carry a maximum sentence of 10 years. He'll be sentenced in October.
