Los Angeles, California – Sean “Diddy” Combs will not face criminal charges despite a violent video emerging of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The disturbing footage shows Combs chasing Ventura down a hotel hallway, physically attacking her, and even throwing objects at her. Despite Combs accepting responsibility for his actions in the video, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office stated that they are unable to file charges due to legal limitations.
CNN recently released surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting Ventura during a 2016 altercation, which aligns with the claims she made in a lawsuit filed last year. In response to the backlash from the public, Combs released a video on social media admitting to the assault and expressing his remorse, stating that he sought professional help and is committed to becoming a better person.
Ventura’s lawsuit against Combs, where she accused him of raping and assaulting her, sheds light on the events captured in the surveillance video. The lawsuit detailed allegations of physical abuse, with Ventura claiming that Combs punched her in the face and threw objects at her. Despite Combs settling the lawsuit with Ventura, he continues to deny the allegations made against him.
Following the settlement with Ventura, Combs faced another lawsuit accusing him of raping and sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl. The lawsuit named Combs, his music company, and a former president of the company as defendants. Combs vehemently denied the allegations, stating that they were a desperate attempt for financial gain. Other lawsuits have been filed against Combs, including accusations of drugging, sexual assault, and hosting sex-trafficking parties with underage women.
Combs, addressing the multiple lawsuits, took to social media to defend his reputation and deny the allegations made against him. Despite the legal battles and serious accusations, no criminal charges have been filed against Combs as of the latest update. The ongoing legal issues surrounding the music mogul continue to receive public attention and scrutiny.
