Cassie Ventura seen with multiple bruises on the red carpet just 2 days after Sean “Diddy” Combs’ brutal attack

Cassie Ventura was photographed just two days after she was beaten and dragged by her ex Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2016.
The model apparently had a few bruises as she walked the red carpet for the premiere of “The Perfect Match” on March 7, 2016, where the two arrived hand-in-hand.
On the carpet, Ventura wore a gold and black sleeveless dress that appeared to show off a bruise on her left arm.
After changing her outfit to a green mini dress, various black and blue bruises could apparently be seen on her legs.
Just two days before the film’s release, Combs attacked Ventura while staying at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, California. However, it has not been confirmed whether the bruise was the result of an attack.
Footage of the terrifying incident was released by CNN on Friday and shows the troubled rapper brutally throwing Ventur to the floor by her neck and then kicking her as she headed for the elevator.
Diddy, now 54, grabbed Ventura’s belongings from the floor, kicked her again and dragged her along the ground by her black hoodie.
After leaving her things in the hotel room, he returned and pushed his then-girlfriend back to the floor. He then sat on a chair and threw what appeared to be a vase at her.
“This shocking video only further confirmed Mr. Combs’ disturbing and predatory behavior,” Ventura’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, told Page Six on Friday.
“Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in bringing this matter to light.”
The abuse seen in the video is referenced in a November 2023 abuse and rape lawsuit filed by Ventura, who goes by the name Cassie, and was used against Combs.
According to the “Me & U” singer’s testimony, the incident occurred after the Grammy winner became “extremely drunk” and punched her in the face.
In the lawsuit, Ventura claimed she tried to escape the hotel room after Combs fell asleep, but he noticed her absence and ran into the hallway, shouting at her.
“He grabbed her and then took glass vases from the hallway and threw them at her, causing the glass to shatter around them as she ran to the elevator to escape,” the report said.
Ventura, now 37, and Combs reached an agreement just a day after the lawsuit was filed.

Although Diddy – who is currently at the center of several sexual assault lawsuits – quickly reached a settlement with Cassie, he maintains his innocence.
“To be clear, the decision to settle, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” his attorney Ben Brafman said in a statement to Page Six at the time.
“Mr. Combs’ decision to settle in no way undermines his complete dismissal of the claims. He is pleased that they have reached an agreement and wishes Ms. Ventura all the best.”
