The footage shows the singer-songwriter quickly walking down a hallway in the now-closed InterContinental Hotel Century City in Los Angeles, carrying a purse and small duffel bag. Combs is then seen running down the hallway after her, wearing nothing but socks and a towel around his waist.The rapper ― who’s now facing sexual abuse allegations from numerous women ― finds Ventura at the floor’s elevator lobby, grabs her by the back of her neck and throws her to the ground.
Combs walks back to the hotel room with Ventura’s bags while she picks up a hotel phone by the elevators. He then returns to Ventura and appears to shove her in a corner, before throwing an object at her off-camera.Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, told CNN, “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.
Combs “vehemently” denied the allegations, his attorney, Ben Brafman, said at the time. Upon settling, Brafman said the undisclosed agreement was “in no way an admission of wrongdoing” on Combs’ part. Brafman did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on the footage published by CNN.Homeland Security agents raided multiple properties linked to the rapper in March. Though it’s unclear what exactly the raids were related to, the team that raided the properties handles human trafficking crimes, a senior federal law enforcement official told CNN.Realness delivered to your inbox
