Jennifer Lopez has been left “disgusted” by footage of her ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs violently assaulting Cassie Ventura.
The surveillance video, obtained by CNN, shows the rapper chasing his then-girlfriend down a hallway before he grabbed her by the back of the head and threw her on the ground.
The musician proceeded to kick her twice as she lay motionless on the ground before he started dragging her back to their room by her hoodie.

However, J Lo, who dated the rapper from 1999 to 2001, reportedly has no plans to publicly condemn the disturbing footage, or address any of the accusations made against him.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Among everything else that Jen is dealing with in her life, she is aware and has seen what Diddy did and is tremendously disappointed.”
“Jen is not going to address the accusations or take time to talk about them because it is not her story to tell.”
“If she is asked about it in a future interview, she will cross that path as and when it happens, but she won’t address it publicly and will not put herself in that conversation on purpose,” the source concluded.
According to a previous lawsuit Cassie filed against Diddy, which has since been settled, the incident allegedly occurred at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City.
In court documents, the songstress claimed Diddy paid the hotel $50,000 for the footage of the attack.
The 54-year-old rapper took to Instagram on Sunday afternoon to apologize, saying: “I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses.”
“So difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you got to do that. I was f***ed up.”
“I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I’m disgusted.”
“I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.”
“Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I am committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I’m truly sorry.”
