A 2016 surveillance video released by CNN shows Combs allegedly assaulting former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a California hotel. The footage reportedly captures physical abuse, including grabbing, throwing, and kicking. Ventura's subsequent lawsuit was settled out of court.
Courtney Burgess, former associate of Kim Porter (Combs' late ex-girlfriend), has testified about possessing flash drives containing eight sex tapes involving Combs and various celebrities, including alleged minors. The Department of Homeland Security has subpoenaed these materials.
Combs faces multiple charges including:
- Racketeering
- Sex trafficking
- Transportation for prostitution
Federal authorities are investigating claims about "Freak Off" parties involving male escorts, some allegedly minors. Multiple escorts have provided testimonies about non-consensual acts.
Combs' legal team denies all allegations, claiming consensual encounters and accusing prosecutors of leaking the assault video to damage his reputation. Prosecutors deny possessing the video before CNN's publication.
The case has sparked industry-wide discussions about power abuse and accountability in entertainment, with ongoing investigations potentially affecting multiple high-profile figures.
