Cassie Testifies About Infamous 2016 Hotel Beating - And Alleges How Often It Actually Happened

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

Cassie Ventura is finally opening up about that sickening hotel surveillance video of her and Diddy.

A year ago, a video surfaced of the disgraced music mogul wrapped in nothing but a towel while brutally beating and kicking the singer in the hallway of the now-defunct InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. The footage backed the allegations Cassie had previously made in her now-settled lawsuit against Diddy.

While the rapper did everything he could to try and get the surveillance footage thrown out from his ongoing case, his efforts were unsuccessful. And on Tuesday, jurors were shown the infamous video when Cassie took to the stand to testify against her ex-boyfriend as part of his trial. There, during her time on the stand, she got into what happened that terrifying day.

The Me & U artist recounted the horrific incident before prosecutor Emily Johnson asked:

“How many times had Sean thrown you to the ground like that before?”

And sadly, as many folks suspected, that incident caught on video wasn’t the first time. Cassie replied:

“Too many to count.”

So awful…

We commend Cassie for her strength in recalling some of the darkest moments of her life — and in such a public and challenging sphere, no less.
