Hollywood Stars Blast Diddy After Release Of 'Gut-wrenching' Video Of His Assault On Cassie

Emily Ratajkowski and other celebrities have reacted with horror to newly surfaced footage of Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a 2016 Los Angeles hotel incident. The video shows Diddy violently attacking and dragging Cassie back to a room.

Aubrey O'Day and 50 Cent have also criticized Diddy, with 50 Cent sarcastically referencing Diddy's previous denial of allegations. Claudia Jordan condemned people who have defended Diddy, while Cassie's husband, Alex Fine, shared a heartfelt letter condemning abusers.

Ratajkowski and many other Hollywood stars are speaking out about the shocking video of Diddy physically assaulting singer Cassie.

The footage, which CNN obtained, shows a shirtless Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, with a towel around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City. As she attempted to enter an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her to the ground.

The music producer then proceeded to kick her as she lay motionless, then took the two bags she had with her. Diddy kicked her again before dragging her back to their room by her hoodie.

Reacting to the disturbing footage on X (formerly Twitter), Ratajkowski wrote, "Monster."

Singer Aubrey O'Day, who previously worked with Diddy but has been a vocal critic since he fired her from Danity Kane in 2008, also reacted to the disturbing video, writing: "The picture is getting a lot clearer for you all, I can imagine."

She added a warning: "Abuse survivors or anyone that triggers easily might not want to watch (images are disturbing). #Cassie #diddy #kimporter. Prayers up for all his victims."

Rapper 50 Cent, who has a long-standing feud with Diddy, reacted to the brutal video clip of him beating Cassie on Instagram.

He reposted a clip of the incident along with the sarcastic message, "Now I'm sure Puffy didn't do it, he is innocent this proves nothing! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all."

50 Cent then shared a statement Diddy had released in December denying various sex crime accusations: "Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth."

Reflecting on Diddy's previous statements in light of the newly surfaced hotel video, 50 Cent wrote: "The lie detector test has determined this was a lie…. Maury vibes."

"Deal Or No Deal" star Claudia Jordan spoke about the brutal video clip on her Instagram page.

The TV personality called out people who defended Diddy, writing, "And some folks were really STILL defending this man and claiming Cassie was just 'money hungry.' Mind you, this is what happened when she tried to leave him."

She continued with frustration: "'Women need 50-11 witnesses, medical records and surveillance footage to kinda get believed—-but it's still our fault for 'putting ourselves in these situations.' SMH!!!!!"

Jordan added: "Diddy if this is how you treated someone you 'loved,' I can only imagine the horrors your enemies or opposition suffered. Praying for all of Sean Combs' victims… dead and alive."

Addressing her followers, she said: "Also, STOP making excuses for people you like just because they are rich or celebs! People always call women who tell the truth about these monsters money-grubbing wh-res and question THEIR motives, never those of the alleged abuser!"

She went on to say: "It's so hard to get sympathy and support when the abuser is even slightly successful. Yes, moguls, singers, rappers, actors, podcasters, athletes, Super Bowl winners, politicians, comedians, presidents, and local DJs can all be vicious abusers!"

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy also reacted strongly, writing on X: "Throw Diddy in jail. Throw away the key. Throw away the key to whoever had this video and kept their mouth shut. I mean holy f--k."

Cassie's husband, Alex Fine, shared a heartfelt "Letter to women and children," which he had written "a while back." In his heartfelt message, he included the saying: "Men who hit women aren't men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren't men."

Fine urged his followers to "Hold the women in your life with the utmost regard," adding, "Men who hurt women hate women."

Addressing abusers, he declared: "You're done, you're not safe anymore, you're not protected anymore. The men by your side are just as weak. You're so miserable with yourself that [death] would be considered a kindness."

After the video surfaced, Cassie's attorney, Douglas Wigdor, released a statement condemning Diddy's actions. He said: "The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light."

In a lawsuit filed last year, Cassie stated that she met Diddy in 2005 when she was 19 and he was 37. Soon after, she signed on to his label, and he introduced her to his "ostentatious, fast-paced, and drug-fueled lifestyle."

The "Me & U" singer wrote that their relationship began in 2007, and Diddy quickly began a pattern of severe abuse. Cassie claimed that the rapper was "prone to uncontrollable rage" and would subject her to "savage" beatings, often punching, kicking, and stomping on her.

The lawsuit alleged that Diddy would ply Cassie with various hard drugs and force her to sleep with other men. These encounters would often feature the rapper masturbating and would be recorded. She also shared multiple occasions of Diddy raping her, including one occasion in 2018 while she tried to end their relationship.
