Emily Ratajkowski branded Diddy a ‘monster’ on Friday as she led the horrified celebrity reactions to newly unearthed footage of his violent assault on Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
The video obtained by CNN shows Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City.
As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her on to the ground.
He then kicked her as she lay on the floor motionless, before grabbing the two designer bags she had tried to escape with. Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.
When the video was posted to X, formerly Twitter, this Friday, Ratajkowski, 32, shared her aghast response in the comments by writing simply: ‘monster.’

Aubrey O’Day, who once worked with Diddy but has been fiercely critical of him in the years since he fired her from the singing group Danity Kane in 2008, wrote on X: ‘the picture is getting a lot more clear for you all I can imagine.’
She added: ‘Abuse survivors or anyone that triggers easily might not want to watch (images are disturbing). #Cassie #diddy #kimporter. Prayers up for all his victims.’
Diddy’s rival 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, tweeted sarcastically: ‘Now I’m sure puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing ! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all.’
Jackson also re-posted a defiant statement Diddy had issued last December in which he denied various sex crime accusations.
‘Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,’ Diddy wrote in the statement. ‘Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.’
Looking back at Diddy’s words this week in the wake of the unearthed hotel video, Jackson wrote: ‘The lie detector test has determined this was a lie…. Maury vibes.’
Cassie’s husband Alex Fine, whom she married in 2019, posted a heartfelt ‘Letter to women and children,’ revealing that he had written it ‘awhile back.’
His lengthy message included the adages: ‘Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men.’
Fine also encouraged his followers to ‘Hold the women in your life with the upmost regard,’ adding: ‘Men who hurt women hate women.’
His message to perpetrators of abuse was: ‘You’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore. The men by your side are just as weak, you’re so miserable with yourself that [death] would be considered a kindness.’
‘Throw Diddy in jail,’ wrote Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. ‘Throw away the key. Throw away the key to whoever had this video and kept their mouth shut. I mean holy f***.’
Deal Or No Deal alumna Claudia Jordan wrote: ‘And some folks were really STILL defending this man and claiming Cassie was just “money hungry.” Mind you this is what happened when she tried to leave him.’
