A lot of people know her as a big pop star in the early aughts. Now, she was one of, she was the first woman to hit diddy with the first lawsuit that started this Domino Effect of civil suits that have now come out against him in her suit from november of 2023, which was quickly settled within one day, by the way, there is an incident in that complaint that talks about in march 2016, were she alleged that she was assaulted in the hallway of a Los Angeles Hotel. Now we have obtained that footage. Lets take a look new Surveillance Footage obtained exclusively by cnn appears to corroborate some of the allegations of abuse against music mogul Sean Diddy Combs the video captured on multiple cameras, shows combs assaulting his then girlfriend, cassie ventura, in a hallway at Los Angeles Hotel in march 2016 a lawsuit filed by Ventura In November last year and settled the next day. Reference actions that seem to match those seen in this video. There is no audio according to the complaint comes became extremely intoxicated and punched ms ventura in the face, giving her a black guy, which according to the lawsuit, prompted ventura to try and leave the hotel room. The Surveillance Video obtained by cnn begins as she enters the hallway the complaint says, as she exited mr. Combs awo in, began screaming at ms ventura. He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. The complaint goes on to say he grabbed her and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her in the Surveillance Video comes can be seen grabbing ventura throwing her to the ground as ventura lies on the ground combs then kicks her twice and attempts to drag her on the floor back to the hotel room.

Moments later, he can be seen throwing an object in her direction according to ventura, has now set a lawsuit. The pair began dating several years after they met in 2005 they parted ways in 2019. Combs attorney said the decision to settle was in no way an admission of wrongdoing ventura declined to comment on the video, but her attorney told cnn 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, the video hasnt been seen publicly before and comes on the heels of a series of Civil Lawsuits Alleging combs involvement in Sex Trafficking and sexual abuse allegations combs has repeatedly denied in a December 2023 statement, combs responded to the claims in all the lawsuit saying sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear. I did not do any of the awful things being alleged now, we have reached out to attorneys for Sean Diddy Combs. We have not heard back yet in response to this video. Now, this is one piece of a lengthy lawsuit get that again, came in November 2023 and was settled. Cassie also has accused Sean Diddy Combs of rape, of Sex Trafficking. Sex trafficking. She says that she was subjected to a decade of abuse during their relationship and elizabeth, you talked about this a little bit in the story there, but this is just the latest in string of damaging controversies and accusations against diddy. Hes homes have been rated in relation to that Sex Trafficking investigation. Hes also been accused of Sexual Assault and five different lawsuits filed in region he said months. So where do things stand more broadly yes. So he does have six lawsuits against him, but as you said, five of those directly accuse him of Sexual Assault. Now, duty is Fighting Back as we heard, he has denied all ill claims against him, including cassius. He just last week at the end of last week, he filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit from a jane doe. He is also filed to dismiss a portion of a separate lawsuits. So up until now, he has maintained his innocence over and over again. Again. He is Fighting Back, but it will be interesting trusting to hear. Now what we hear back from his team because now we do have this video and this goes against him denying all these allegations across the board yeah horrific video. And so important to see elizabeth. Thank you so much for that exclusive reporting. Lets talk now a cnn legal analyst, joey jackson some things that stand out to me, joey and im curious what stands out to you, but the kicking while shes on the ground, the fact of how methodically cassie puts her hand up to protect her head you know, kinda like shes a pro it protecting herself against this kind of abuse. But i just wonder what your reaction is. Two, what were seeing in this video and what it means. Yeah, good to be with you, briana and jessica. Id Means Nothing good as it relates to mr. Combs. I think that the letting out of the lawsuit initially but we saw in november of 2023, just last year, he was going to settle that lawsuit the time to do that would have been certainly the day before it became into the public realm as to what were observing, we should believe our eyes right . Are our eyes lying to us . Its a vicious assault the kicking, the punch however you describe it. And i think that notwithstanding the fact beyond that the lawsuit has been settled, i think you saw that the federal government is investigating. You saw the Homeland Security investigation, and agency that was there at his home looking into various allegations that were made in that lawsuit and others with respect to his conduct concerning sexual activities, concerning the consent around that concerning any other commercial activity. And i think thats the larger fish to fry here. And so when you see things like this, it does give credence and credibility to what people were saying notwithstanding his denials. And i think the federal government is going to be looking into this very carefully. As it relates to potentially moving forward in. I know theyre investigating, but in ultimately doing something about that investigation will have to see and we saw that he just denied all all of it just across the board. Joy. When you have somebody thats saying i didnt do it, i didnt do it. I didnt do it and has also, by the way, settled with her and part of the case. What is the video like this . How does that change the dynamic here so jessica, theres two imperatives, right . When youre celebrity like this, i think the first obviously he is public relations. Thats important. You have a brand you want to protect that brand is a lot of money surrounding that. And so theres going to be denials is going to be nothing to see here. Everyones after my money, people are crazy the other though imperative is that if theres something here we have many investigatory bodies in the United States that look and evaluate that. And so i think when you see a tape like this, it is of some concern to authorities to evaluate it further. Now you could look at the specific nature of the act here, and you could say, well, what about the local authorities . You may have some statute of limitations problems in terms of the assault generally, california, i believe where this was threeyear statute of limitations, but then you look at things that are not statute of limitations, such as Human Trafficking and that type thing. So i think what were going to see moving forward is a very active federal government seeing whether in parsing the lawsuit not only as it relates to that specific allegation, but other allegations in that lawsuit, you heard Elizabeth Wagmeister speak to the issues of the other pending lawsuits. Those will be parsed very carefully to determine whats what i think people will be called in on the subpoena to be further the investigation. And if theres anything thats actionable, i think potentially thats what well see is its action. All right, joy, stay with us. And if you or someone you know, is struggling with intimate partner violence, there are resources. A lot of them available to you, including the national with violence hotline, and thats 800 safe meantime, happening right now, the worlds topranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler is playing him the second round of the Pga Championship just hours after he was arrested in louisville, kentucky the masters champion now facing four charges, including Felony Assault on a Police Officer espns Geoff Darlington reported seeing Scheffler Drive around the scene of a fatal Traffic Accident outside the club. Despite being told to stop by police, that same reporter shot this video of the arrest. You can see Scheffler Being escorted away by two officers. Hes visibly there in handcuffs. Take a listen to this officer on the scene. What right now hes going to jail okay. Okay. Hes going to jail not you can do about well, scheffler then was booked into jail. He was released not long after though, with enough time to get back to the course for his second round t time, cnns andy scholes is following all of this scheffler actually out on the course right now i was reading that other players have been kind of going up to him, checking in on him. Whats the reaction been from scheffler himself . Well, briana, jessica, you scheffler called this whole thing really a huge misunderstanding. This really has been the strangest morning and golf history. But despite all of that a tapin, it hasnt rattled scheffler. He made his teeth time birdied two of his first three holes. Hes 200 through nine, hes only three shots off the lead there at the Pga Championship. But before teeing off, scheffler did release this statement saying this morning i was proceeding as directed by Police Officers. It was a very chaotic situation. Understandably. So considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding what i thought i was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. Im hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today, of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away earlier in the accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective. Now, as you mentioned, espns Geoff Darlington, he was at the scene when this was all unfolding and he gave this account of what happened on sports take a listen. Scottie scheffler has been detained by Police Officers placed in the back of a Police Vehicle in handcuffs after he tried to pull what around what he believed to be security ended up being Police Officers. They told him to stop when he didnt stop, the Police Officer for attached himself to the vehicle, scheffler then traveled another ten yards before stopping the car the Police Officer then grabbed at his arm, attempting to pull him out of the car. Before scheffler eventually opened the door, at which point the Police Officer pulled scheffler out of the car, pushed up against the car and immediately placed him in handcuffs now, according to the Police Report, the officer involved was dragged to the ground and suffered pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist after schefflers car accelerated forward, and officer was taken to the hospital now, jessica, brianna, i can tell you of all people for this to happen to scheffler. I mean, one of the most unlikely, i mean, he is one of the nicest, most wellliked guys on tour. He just had his first child a weekandahalf ago. And hizon, one of the best runs and golf history right now, hes won four of his last five starts and he just one the masters if again, this happened to him and its surprising to, because the players, they drive in marked vehicles at these tournaments in his car had pj Pga Championship on the side of it. So it was clearly you know, someone who could needed to get into the course. So for him to be pulled over or stopped the way wasnt for all this to go down the way it did kind of puzzling that it happened this way. All that context really adds a lot of layers here when i talk about how i was explaining stuff. But as someone who it doesnt follow golf and i would say hes giving sunday school teacher. Okay. Thats the vibe. Thats what it is yeah. So it is it is surprising. All right. Any scholz. Thanks so much for lay that all out for us. Lets bring back seen legal analyst, joey jackson. Joey to that note, how serious are these . Charges against him yeah. So jessica, in the event that theyre determined to be true, its a class c felony. That is the assault against the Police Officer, are punishable by five to ten years, but not so fast every case turns on its facts and if it is a misunderstanding thats another thing. What kind of misunderstanding . We understand that apparently the police were there and there was a fatal accident. They were investigating that we understand that he was proceeding that is mrs. Scheffler with his car into do the actual tournament and it could be because theyve also charged him with failing to obey and that he was moving forward and Reckless Driving. Did he not here the commands of the officer did he misinterpreted or not know that he should stop at that particular time. What happened when the officer laid hands on him . Was he attentive to the fact that it wasnt officer, was he doing it intentionally . Did he do it unknowingly . So theres so much to get to before you get to the actual issue of its a crime he intentionally assaulted an officer. And so that i think were going to have to parse out. I think potential bodycam if its available with regard to that specific interaction amongst him and the officer will be critical to show what his intentions are, what his actions all right. And really the essence of exactly what occurred is we look there at the charges in this very briefly in terms of the Second Degree assault thats the punishable by five to ten years. Again, were not there yet. Thats an Allegation Prosecutor is going to have to look and evaluate this third degree Criminal Mischief is when youre damaging property property, Reckless Driving is what it says it is. Youre driving in a manner that a reasonable, prudent person would drive and disregarding signals is when, hey, stop and you continue to go the most serious one though, is that assault will see factually whether there was assault or whether there was something very much less so yeah, lets talk about that that Assault Charge a little bit more and we should mention through his Attorneys Scheffler has said that he actually thought he was following the instructions of one officer and then he encountered another officer who was the detective who this altercation seem to occur wi
