On Friday, surveillance footage was obtained by CNN that showed Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, 37, in a hotel hallway in 2016.
Alex’s social media post not only addressed the disturbing situation involving his wife and Combs but any woman or child who has suffered from domestic violence.
His message began, “Letter to women and children.
“Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men.”
He stated that “violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable” and encouraged people to check “your brothers, your friends, and your family.”

“Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved.”
Alex stated, “Hold the women in your life with the utmost regard” before asserting, “Men who hurt women hate women.”
The professional bull rider then told the survivors of domestic abuse to “find the men and women who help and love.”
“To all the survivors, your stories are real and people believe you.”
He continued, “To all the survivors, you’re not alone and there are men and women who care only for your well-being and safety. We want you to succeed and flourish.”

“To all the women and children, I’m sorry to live in a world where you’re not protected and you don’t feel equal. I want to raise my daughters in a world where they are safe and loved,” Alex wrote.
Alex and Cassie, who married in 2019, share daughters Frankie, four, and Sunnie, two.
He then turned his attention to the abusers, writing, “You’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore.
“The men by your side are just as weak.”

Alex concluded, “You’re so miserable with yourself that death would be considered a kindness.”

The 31-year-old explained in the post’s caption, “Wrote this awhile back but the words ring true not just today but every day.
“I want my kids and every kid to live in a world that’s safe for women and girls, protects them and treats them as equals.
“To the women and children, you’re not alone, and you are heard. if you need help call the domestic violence hotline at (800) 799-7233.” he added.
GUT-WRENCHING VIDEO
The disturbing surveillance footage captured Combs holding a towel around his waist as he chased after Cassie while she waited for an elevator at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

Combs was then shown forcefully striking Cassie, throwing her on the floor, and kicking her as she lay motionless.
The rapper collects her bag and purse and continues his assault as he proceeds to drag her across the elevator bank into the hallway.
A second camera angle obtained by CNN showed the moments after the assault as Cassie slowly stood up and retrieved her belongings.

Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men.”

Cassie can be seen picking up a phone in the hallway as Combs returns and sits on a chair directly in front of her.

Moments later, an enraged Combs grabs what appears to be a vase from a table and hurls it at Cassie.

The horrific assault matches the allegations Cassie made in the lawsuit she filed against the Bad Boy mogul in New York in November 2023.
Cassie alleged that in March 2016, an “extremely intoxicated” Combs “punched her in the face, giving her a black eye.”
“Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited, Mr. Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura,” the court filing reads.

“He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallways and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”
Shockingly, both parties settled the lawsuit a day after the documents were filed in federal court.
Cassie declined to comment to CNN on the unearthed video.

Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved.”

Douglas H. Wigdor, Cassie’s attorney, told the outlet, “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs.
“Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Neither Combs nor his legal team have commented on the newly released video.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Combs’ attorney for comment.
MORE ALLEGATIONS
Combs has been under fire since being accused of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and abuse by his ex-girlfriend, 37, last November.
Cassie’s lawsuit opened the floodgates against Combs as more victims came forward with allegations against the rap CEO.
In a lawsuit filed in late November 2023, Joi Dickerson-Neal accused Combs of raping her and filming it as “revenge porn.”

Dickerson-Neal claimed she met Combs in 1991 when she was a student at Syracuse University.
Recent lawsuits against Diddy
Diddy was hit with a wave of lawsuits in late 2023 and early 2024 with allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault. He has denied all claims against him.
Cassie, Diddy’s longtime girlfriend, sued him in November 2023, claiming she endured “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until their relationship ended in 2018. Diddy and Cassie settled the suit the day after it was filed.
Diddy was hit with two more lawsuits a week later. Joi Dickerson accused Diddy of drugging and raping her and filming the attack when she was a 19-year-old college student in January 1991.
A second accuser in a separate lawsuit claimed that Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990 or 1991 then showed up at her apartment and beat her several days later.
Diddy was sued again in December by a woman who claimed he and two men gang-raped her in 2003 when she was 17 years old.

In February 2024, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, who helped produce Diddy’s most recent album, claimed that the mogul sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him from September 2022 to November 2023 as they worked together.
The suit said that after meeting for dinner, Combs persistently pushed Dickerson-Neal to travel with him to several other bars and clubs.
“During their date, Combs had intentionally drugged [her], resulting in her being in a physical state where she could not independently stand or walk,” the lawsuit alleged.
“Driving first to a music studio where she could not get out of the car, Combs proceeded to a place he was staying to sexually assault her.”

In December 2023, Combs was sued again by a woman who alleged the rapper and two other men gang-raped her in 2003 when she was 17 years old.
Then, in February, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a lawsuit against Combs accusing him of groping and drug-induced sexual assault.
Jones, who helped produce some of Combs’ albums, alleged that while he stayed with the rapper at his homes in Florida, Los Angeles, and New York, he was repeatedly sexually harassed and assaulted.
