When she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and knocked her to the ground.
He then kicked her as she lay motionless on the ground, before grabbing the two designer bags she had tried to escape with.
Diddy stood over her, kicked her again and then dragged her by the hoodie back to their room.
In a statement to DailyMail.com today, Cassie’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor said: ‘The heartbreaking video has only further cemented Mr. Combs’ disturbing and predatory behavior.
“Words cannot express the courage and determination Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to expose this.”
Cassie sued Combs last year for rape and a series of other offenses.
They settled out of court in November for an undisclosed amount.

Cassie said in a statement at the time: “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some control over,” Cassie said in a statement.
“I would like to thank my family, fans and advocates for their continued support.”
In his own statement at the time, Diddy’s lawyer said his settlement of the case was in no way an admission of guilt.
‘Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” said his attorney Ben Brafman.
“For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand for $30 million under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.
“Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit filled with baseless and outrageous lies in order to damage Mr. Combs’ reputation and seek a payday.”
The pair dated between 2007 and 2018, after meeting in 2006 when she was 19 and he was 37.
In her suit, Cassie recalled an incident similar to the one captured on security footage at the LA hotel.

The lawsuit alleges, “Around March, during an FO at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Mr. Combs became extremely intoxicated and punched Ms. Ventura in the face, causing her to suffer a black eye.
“After he fell asleep, Ms. Ventura attempted to leave the hotel room, but as she left, Ms. Combs woke up and began yelling at Ms. Ventura. He followed her into the hallway, yelling at her.
“He grabbed her, then grabbed glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her, shattering the glass around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”
Cassie said in the suit that she eventually managed to escape Diddy and go to her own apartment, but out of fear of the rapper decided to return to the hotel.
“When she realized that her walking away would cause Mr. Combs to become even angrier with her, and completely trapped in his vicious cycle of abuse, Ms. Ventura returned to the hotel with the intention of apologizing for the running away from her abuser,” the spokesperson said. complaint thus resolved.
“When she returned, hotel security staff urged her to get back into a taxi and go to her apartment, suggesting they had seen the security footage showing Mr. Combs punching Ms. Ventura and throwing glass at her in the hallway from the hotel.’
According to the legal claim, Combs paid the InterContinental Century City $50,000 for the hallway security footage showing the alleged assault.
Hylton suggested Diddy’s race played a role in the federal agent’s actions during the raids
What exactly prompted the raids on Combs’ property on March 25 has yet to be revealed
Cassie has described a years-long, torturous relationship in which he controlled her movements and subjected her to abuse.
He has always denied wrongdoing.
They met while she was recording her debut album after her big hit One Thing.
The March 2016 footage of the incident comes just two months after Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
He is also fighting lawsuits from other accusers alleging sexual misconduct and abuse.
Combs’ sons, Justin and Christian “King” Combs, were handcuffed during the raid on their father’s Los Angeles home.
In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging that Combs forced him to recruit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.
Another accuser of Combs was a woman who said the rap producer raped her 20 years ago when she was 17.
Combs and his attorneys have denied all allegations in the lawsuits.
The mother of two sons of Sean Diddy Combs, Misa Hylton, has shared images of the aid at the rapper’s Los Angeles mansion, calling it an “overtly militarized force.”
The rapper is one of the most influential hip-hop producers and managers of the past thirty years.
Formerly known as Puff Daddy, he built one of hip-hop’s biggest empires, blazing a trail with several entities tied to his famous name.
He is the founder of Bad Boy Records and a three-time Grammy winner who has collaborated with a host of top artists including Notorious BIG, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112.
