Key Events Throughout Time

In a shocking turn of events, newly released video footage has surfaced showing music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly assaulting his former protege and girlfriend, Cassie, in a Los Angeles hotel back in 2016. The video, which was aired by CNN, depicts a disturbing scene where Combs is seen attacking Cassie in a hotel hallway.

Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of years of abuse, including beatings and rape. The lawsuit details a tumultuous relationship between the two, with Cassie alleging that Combs was prone to uncontrollable rage and subjected her to savage beatings. She also claimed that he forced her to have sex with other men and raped her in her home in 2018.

In a surprising turn of events, the lawsuit was swiftly settled the day after it was filed, with the terms of the agreement kept confidential. Combs released a statement expressing his desire to resolve the matter amicably and wishing Cassie and her family the best.

Following Cassie’s lawsuit, two more women came forward with allegations of sexual abuse against Combs, filing lawsuits just before the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act in New York. The lawsuits alleged acts of sexual assault, beatings, and forced drugging by Combs in the early 1990s.

As the wave of allegations against Combs continues to grow, he temporarily stepped down as chairman of his cable television network, Revolt. The situation escalated further when Homeland Security Investigations conducted early morning raids on Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex-trafficking investigation.

Combs and his legal team have vehemently denied the allegations, with his attorney calling the raids a gross use of force. Despite the legal pushback from Combs, the release of the video showing the alleged assault on Cassie has reignited public interest in the case and raised further questions about the music mogul’s behavior.
