Diddy’s alleged abusive behavior was revealed publicly in November 2023 after Ventura filed an explosive lawsuit against the entertainer, alleging that she was raped, sex trafficked, and a victim of his physical violence. The two settled the dispute outside of court one day later. However, Ventura’s claims opened a Pandora’s box to other survivors coming forward about their disheartening interactions with Combs. Despite denying Ventura’s allegations early on, a surveillance video showcasing his abuse toward her was released months later. In May 2024, a tape obtained by CNN showed Diddy physically assaulting the “Me & U” singer in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. The disturbing footage sent shockwaves on the Internet as many viewers condemned Combs for his abusive behavior. Two days later, he issued an apology on Instagram, saying his disgusting behavior was “inexcusable” and that he was “truly sorry” for attacking his ex-girlfriend.
