Diddy is seen violently assaulting Cassie after chasing her down hallway in a towel in hotel surveillance footage
Shocking surveillance footage has emerged of Diddy violently attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel in 2016.
The video, obtained by CNN, shows the rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall.
As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her on to the ground.
He then kicked her as she lay on the ground motionless, before grabbing the two designer bags she’d tried to escape with.
Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.

The disturbing footage was filmed at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City in March 2016.
Two days later, the pair appeared on the red carpet holding hands for the premiere of The Perfect Match.
In a statement to DailyMail.com today, Cassie’s attorney Douglas Wigdor said: ‘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.’
Cassie sued Combs last year alleging rape and a range of other offenses.
They settled out of court in November for an undisclosed amount.

The mother of two of Sean Diddy Combs’ sons, Misa Hylton, has shared footage of the aid in the rapper’s Los Angeles mansion, calling it an ‘overtly militarized force’
In a statement at the time, Cassie said: ‘I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,’ Cassie said in a statement.
‘I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.’
The pair dated between 2007 and 2018, after meeting in 2006 when she was 19 and he was 37.
In lawsuits filed since their break-up, she has described a years-long, torturous relationship in which he controlled her movements and subjected her to abuse.
He has always denied wrongdoing.
They met while she was recording her debut album after her smash hit One Thing.
The footage of the March 2016 incident comes just two months after Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
Hylton suggested Diddy’s race played a role in the federal agent’s s actions during the raids
Exactly what precipitated the raids on Combs’ properties on March 25 has yet to be disclosed
He is also fighting lawsuits from other accusers who allege sexual misconduct and abuse.
Earlier this year, Combs’ mansions in Miami and Los Angeles were raided as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation by federal authorities in New York.
Combs’ sons, Justin and Christian ‘King’ Combs, were handcuffed during the raid at their father’s residence in Los Angeles.
In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging Combs coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.
Another of Combs’ accusers was a woman who said the rap producer raped her two decades ago when she was 17.
Combs and his attorneys have denied all of the lawsuits’ allegations.
The AP does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly as Cassie did.
Combs is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.
Formerly known as Puff Daddy, he built one of hip-hop’s biggest empires, blazing a trail with several entities attached to his famous name.
He is the founder of Bad Boy Records and a three-time Grammy winner who has worked with a slew of top-tier artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112.
