In March 2016, a shocking hotel security camera video emerged showing Sean "Diddy" Combs attacking his former girlfriend, singer Cassie. The video, which surfaced earlier this year, has become a key piece of evidence in Combs' ongoing sex abuse case. Combs' lawyers recently suggested excluding the tape from his upcoming trial.

What does the video reveal? It shows Combs chasing, kicking, and throwing objects at Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. This incident aligns with parts of a civil lawsuit Cassie filed against Combs last year, which was settled quickly. The footage, captured from different angles, shows Combs grabbing Cassie, kicking her, and even trying to drag her back to their room.

Why is this video so crucial? Legal experts consider it strong evidence for prosecutors. However, Combs' team alleges that the government leaked the tape to prejudice the public. They've asked a judge to exclude the tape from the trial. Prosecutors deny any involvement in the leak.

What happens next? A judge will decide if the tape can be used as evidence. Both sides have agreed not to discuss case specifics with the media. Combs remains in jail, and his lawyers are pushing for a $50 million bail pending trial. The trial could last up to three weeks, with the possibility of additional charges.
