"FINISHED"— CNN's footage of Diddy beating his girlfriend in hotel hallway sparks massive outrage online

In what could be the biggest development in the impending accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs by his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, CNN has obtained security footage that shows the 54-year-old rapper allegedly beating his girlfriend in a hotel lobby, confirming Cassie's previous accusations of physical abuse in the 2023 lawsuit.

The shocking video, which is now making rounds on social media platforms including X, allegedly shows Diddy chasing Cassie Ventura down the hall before throwing her to the ground and kicking her several times. The multi-angle CCTV footage also allegedly depicts the famous musician dragging his then-partner by her hoodie. The incident reportedly occurred at InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, which has now shut down.

CNN also alleges that Diddy later paid the hotel $50,000 to obtain the footage. The incident dates back to 2016.

This has created a massive outrage on social media platforms, with fans very publicly denouncing the musician, and others claiming that his career is over. X user @uHThreaT summed up the emotion going in fans' minds, saying—

"Oh this ni*ga is done. FINISHED."

Many other users weighed in their opinions, and all of them were immensely negative against Diddy.

"The fact that this from 2016 shows they just buried this for Diddy and now Diddy on the shit list all bets off. You telling me no one had this footage in 2016. Give me a break"- One user commented.

"Diddy did it and he will do it again if he is not jailed"- Another user added, referencing to the controversial allegations against the rapper.

"He’s a horrible person. I feel sorry for any woman who has to deal with this."- yet another user said.

Referring to how Comb's celebrity status has kept him shielded, a user wrote "Regular folks would be arrested for this. Regular folks would lose their jobs for this."

Many also commented on the widespread social connotation of such acts and how they affect women, in particular.

"This is heartbreaking & this is what so many women deal with while too many turn their heads away."- An X user wrote.

"I’m going to continue to fight for women on every issue. I’ll be damned if i’m going to leave the world as is for my daughters."- a user expanded.

Ventura had cited the incident in her 2023 lawsuit, where she claimed that Combs had repeatedly assaulted and ra*ped her on several occasions over 10 years.

CNN obtained the footage and now it is going around the internet, depicting the dark side of the rapper and what he did to his ex-girlfriend.
