New photos show brutal injuries Cassie Ventura sustained in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs hotel attack

Newly released photos show Cassie Ventura’s injuries after she was violently beaten by then-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs at a hotel in 2016.

Newly released photos show Cassie Ventura’s swollen lip after she was violently beaten by Sean “Diddy” Combs at a hotel in 2016.

The evidence presented during the Bad Boy Records founder’s sex-trafficking trial showed the singer’s injuries after she was attacked while allegedly trying to flee one of her ex’s “freak-offs” at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, California.

Ventura was seen wearing sunglasses and a hoodie in a selfie, which she claimed she took after leaving the hotel in an Uber.

“That’s me, a selfie of me with a fat lip,” Ventura, 38, testified on the stand last week.

She said she texted Combs afterward: “I have a premiere for the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life on Monday. You are sick for thinking it’s OK to do what you’ve done. Please stay away from me.”

The “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper, now 55, then allegedly told her that he was getting arrested.

Ventura’s then-best friend Kerry Morgan called the police, but the “Me & U” singer refused to file a report to protect Combs.

Last week, Ventura testified that she decided to leave the “Freak-Off” because it was allegedly getting violent.

“It got violent and I chose to leave … I had my premiere, I didn’t want to mess it up, so I left,” she said.

Ventura said she attempted to sneak away when Combs was in the shower, but he caught up with her in the hallway while wearing a towel around his waist.

“He grabbed me up, threw me on the ground, kicked me, tried to drag me back to the room, took my stuff,” she testified.

Ventura — who dated Combs on and off from 2007 to 2018 — was not able to recall how many times she was thrown to the grown by the disgraced music mogul, saying, “Too many to count. I don’t know.”

The full, unedited 15-minute video of the assault was shown in court last week after a shorter version of the footage was released by CNN in May 2024.

After the video was initially released last year, the father of seven shared an apology video for his “inexcusable behaviour.”

In November 2023, Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of years of abuse and rape. The duo settled the next day for $US20 million, according to Ventura’s testimony.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; racketeering conspiracy; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
