In a series of shocking developments, multiple sources have reported on allegations of physical abuse against music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The latest revelation comes from Cassie Ventura, who was in a relationship with Combs at the time and filed a lawsuit against him in 2023. The lawsuit was settled confidentially, but new evidence has come to light in the form of surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway.
Misa Hylton, Combs' ex-girlfriend and mother to his oldest son, Justin Combs, expressed her sympathy for Ventura after watching the video. Hylton shared photos of Diddy's six children on Instagram and emphasized their mothers' efforts to support them through difficult times.
Slim Thug, a rapper who had previously defended Combs against Ventura's allegations, issued an apology for his earlier stance and acknowledged the severity of the situation. He urged fans to take a closer look at the facts and consider the impact of abuse on victims.
The allegations against Combs extend beyond Ventura. Mylah Morales, a former makeup artist for Diddy, claimed to have witnessed an incident of abuse between Diddy and Cassie at the Beverly Hills Hotel over a decade ago. During this incident, Cassie was reportedly badly bruised with knots on her head and a black eye.
The recent developments have led to calls for accountability from various quarters. Mayor Eric Adams is considering rescinding the key to the city he gave to Combs last year, while Howard University is reviewing whether to rescind his honorary doctorate from 2014.
Combs has issued an apology for his past behavior and sought professional help. However, it remains to be seen how these allegations will impact his career and personal life moving forward.
