Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs ‘insists that Cassie Ventura violence video ‘doesn’t tell the whole story’: source

Sean “Diddy” Combs believes that the video of him beating up then-girlfriend Cassie, a member of his inner circle, “doesn’t tell the full story of what happened.” says The Post..

“He’s furious. Especially when it comes to video. He argues that this does not tell the full story of events. Not that he’s justifying it, but he says it’s the film of choice,” the source said.

“It is his position that there was a plan to release the film upon its release,” the insider continues.

“But ultimately he knows his biggest concern is the raids on his home; Cassie’s video is just a distraction.”

In a disturbing video published by CNN on May 19, the 54-year-old Bad Boy Records founder can be seen attacking Cassie – born Casandra Ventura – in March 2016.

In the video, Combs chased the 37-year-old “Me & U” singer down the hallway of the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles while wearing a towel around his waist.

When Cassie tried to get on the elevator and leave, her then-boyfriend grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the floor.

As the singer lay motionless on the floor, Combs kicked her and dragged her down the hall by her sweatshirt.

He also threw a glass vase at Cassie while she was cornered in the hallway.

After the video was released, the Sean John founder took to Instagram to apologize for his actions.

“My behavior while watching this video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in this video. I’m disgusted,” he said in a video posted on Instagram on Sunday.

Cassie also spoke about the harrowing video, thanking everyone for their “love and support” during her recovery.

“Thanks to a lot of hard work, I feel better today, but I will always be recovering from my past,” said the singer, who is now married to Alex Fine.

The video was released weeks after the Department of Homeland Security raided Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami in connection with an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

Cassie filed a lawsuit against her ex in November 2023, accusing him of rape and molestation. Although Combs denied her allegations, they settled the case the next day.

Since then, six more lawsuits have been filed against him, alleging a range of sexual misconduct and other illegal activities.

Most recently, the father of seven was accused of drugging and raping a former student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York in the 1990s.

Combs has denied several of the allegations made in the lawsuit.
