Video of Combs assaulting Ventura goes viral

Diddy was seen kicking Ventura just before the hotel's assistant security director arrived to defuse the situation and took Combs away from Ventura, who was standing near an elevator. While Florez has given his statement on the video, he also shared that Combs tried to bribe him, saying, "You cover this, I got you. Let's go in the room and talk." Meanwhile, Combs claimed the altercation started because he and Ventura had been arguing.

Reportedly, Florez has also shared a picture of the room, which was left completely upside down after Combs' physical assault on his then-girlfriend.

Another commented, "It's so heartbreaking to watch! KARMA will visit him in prison!" A third user said, "Can't wait until he's locked up for life. And I'm so happy for her, that she was able to move on and marry and have a beautiful family." Meanwhile, one comment read, "Ppl here defending this man - do you love any woman member in your family? Because I don't understand how individuals are defending him."

More about Combs and Ventura's legal battle

As per reports, throughout their 11-year relationship, Combs "physically abused" and "sexually exploited" Ventura, forcing her to take drugs and have sex with male escorts while he masturbated and videotaped.

According to Variety, these incidents, which Combs called "freak-offs," took place in dimly lit hotel rooms set up with supplies by Combs' employees. He allegedly used the video footage to "blackmail" Ventura.
