Israel Florez, a former security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, testified on the first day of Sean "Diddy" Combs’ federal trial and described a 2016 incident involving Combs and Cassie Ventura. Florez told the jury he witnessed security footage showing Combs physically assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway. According to his account, the footage captured Combs throwing a glass object at Ventura, dragging her by her hair, kicking her while she was on the ground, and later slamming her into a wall near the elevator. Florez said the footage disturbed him enough that he reported it to hotel management and saved a copy, fearing the original would be deleted.
Florez further testified that Combs later confronted him about the tape and attempted to silence him by offering a bribe. He said Combs handed him an envelope filled with cash and instructed him to get rid of the footage. Florez refused and claimed he interpreted the encounter as an effort to cover up the incident. The government presented this testimony as part of a broader narrative that Combs used violence and then relied on money and influence to conceal it. The surveillance footage itself — previously leaked to the public — was played in full for the jury, reinforcing the prosecution’s claim that this was not an isolated outburst but part of a larger pattern of coercive behavior.
