Sean Diddy Combs’ video of assaulting Casandra Ventura goes viral
On May 17, CNN shared a disturbing video of Sean Diddy Combs physically abusing Casandra Ventura as she tried to escape from his hotel room. The video dates back to 2016 and is retrieved from the CCTV footage of Century City Hotel. The video showed Ventura trying to exit from a hotel room and moving towards the elevator as Combs ran towards her with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Combs finally caught up to Ventura and then grabbed her by her neck and tossed her on the ground. Following this Combs started violently kicking and then dragged her and her luggage back to the hotel room. Further in the video Combs angrily sits on the chair and throws an object from the table towards her.
This incident was even mentioned in the lawsuit filed by Ventura. The complaint read as follows, “Mr. Combs became extremely intoxicated and punched Ms. Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye. After he fell asleep, Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited, Mr. Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura. He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her, and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape."
Despite having such solid proof, the jurisdiction could hardly make any move as the accident dates way back in past and can not be used to penalize the assaulter as per the law. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office issued a statement through their Instagram handle, making it clear that they won't be able to take any actions only based on the viral video.
The court wrote, “If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately, we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted. As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr Combs, but we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services.”
Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs back in November though the case was later settled off-court on the undisclosed terms. Yet Combs ’ attorneys refused to admit the crimes of their client. However, the recently released video made things crystal clear about the toxic nature of Combs. It is to be seen though when Combs will finally be punished for his horrible past deeds, as his several other sexual assault cases continue to be active in the court.
