In the shocking surveillance video taken from a Los Angeles hotel, Combs allegedly brutally beats his former girlfriend, Ventura, in a hallway in 2016 while wearing just socks and a towel around his waist.
Ventura sued Combs in November, accusing him of physical and 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual abuse. But she dropped the case after the parties reached an out-of-court settlement a day later.

The shocking video, exclusively obtained by CNN, appears to corroborate a line in Ventura’s lawsuit accusing Combs of punching her in the face in the hotel.
Ventura’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor told Fox News Digital: “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.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to reps for Combs for comment.
Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations raided Combs’ mansions in Los Angeles and Miami earlier this year as part of an ongoing investigation.
“This video is very damaging to his case,” said Derrick Parker, the New York Police Department’s former “hip-hop cop” who investigated Combs’ role in a 1999 nightclub shooting. “This is gonna hurt him badly, because it adds credence to what Ms. Ventura has been alleging about the abuse from him.”
He said he expects the feds to speed up their case against Combs as a result.
“Everybody’s gonna see this, and they’re gonna see what a real dirtbag he is,” he said. “The public itself is gonna see him in a different light. The government now is likely gonna accelerate his case.”
