A lengthy new video depicting Sean “Diddy” Combs’ violent confrontation with Cathy Ventura has been made public. This footage surfaced during the trial involving the controversial music mogul.
The newly released surveillance footage reveals the chaotic aftermath of Combs’ assault on his ex-girlfriend, showcasing him being calmed by security for the first time.
The footage, recorded in 2016 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, shows Ventura being pulled into a hallway while Combs appears to throw something at her just as the hotel’s assistant security director, Israel Flores, arrives from the elevator.
Flores testified in Manhattan Federal Court recently, noting how Ventura remained by the elevator, visibly distressed, and later walked down the hallway still shaken.
He recounted that the altercation started due to an argument between Combs and Ventura, as he reported to the court.
Flores also submitted an email detailing his report, which included surprising images of the aftermath in Combs’ hotel room.
According to him, Combs attempted to bribe him with $100, suggesting, “I can handle this, I’ve got you, let’s go to my room.”
Flores responded firmly, requesting that Combs respect both him and the guests, insisting that he needed to return to his room instead.
The footage shows Flores entering Combs’ room alongside a producer, while Ventura reenters the frame, pointing down the hallway where she departed.
Flores observed Combs addressing Ventura and pushing her to leave the area, urging him to remain in his room until a later checkout time.
Flores mentioned that he physically positioned himself in the doorway for several minutes to ensure Ventura could exit safely.
He testified about an incident where Combs threw a bag of money at him, instructing him not to tell anyone.
Combs’ legal representative, Brian Steele, questioned Flores about this alleged exchange involving money.

Steele pressed him, recalling Flores used the term “bribe,” to which Flores affirmed, “100%.”
In another session, the notorious 2016 recording was replayed, showing Combs assaulting Ventura.
When Prosecutor Emily Johnson asked Ventura how many times she had been thrown to the ground by him, she simply responded, “Too many to count.”
