Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs appeared to assault his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in video footage<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ hitmaker was seen in 2016 surveillance footage released by CNN on Friday (17.05.24) apparently grabbing, shoving and kicking his former girlfriend, and though Suzi Siegel – who worked for the rap mogul from 2008 to 2009 – confirmed she “never saw him speak harshly to [Cassie] or be abusive toward her or anything like that”, she admitted she always felt the “power dynamic” between the pair wasn’t right.<\/p>\n
\nExplaining how she felt “sick and violently angry” after seeing the footage, Suzi told CNN: “I rode in limos with them, I went to parties with them. I guess what I would say is, even though I never saw anything that could corroborate what’s in that lawsuit and what we just saw, there was not one cell in my body that was surprised.<\/p>\n
\n“I would say that I was around him a lot and I got a feeling for who he was.<\/p>\n
\n“I didn’t see anything that could get him in trouble. But I think that [there’s a] power dynamic in a situation like that \u2014 especially her, at the beginning of her career, so young and beautiful and talented.”<\/p>\n
\nAnd Suzi stressed she wasn’t mistreated by her former boss.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “I didn’t see that proof.<\/p>\n
\n“Obviously, I saw it with the rest of America today. But when I saw it, I knew that it was something that he could be capable of.”<\/p>\n
\nThe Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office has confirmed that it’s “unable to charge” the 54-year-old rapper over the “extremely disturbing” footage.<\/p>\n
\nIn a statement posted on Instagram, the District Attorney\u2019s Office said: “We are aware of the video that has been circulating online allegedly depicting Sean Combs assaulting a young woman in Los Angeles. We find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch.<\/p>\n
\n“If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted. As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr. Combs, but we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services.”<\/p>\n
\nCassie launched a lawsuit against Diddy last year, accusing her ex-boyfriend of abusing her over a number of years. The former couple reached an out-of-court settlement shortly after the news became public.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, Diddy has always maintained his innocence.<\/p>\n
\nBen Brafman, his attorney, told CNN at the time: “Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
