According to newly filed court
documents, prosecutors highlight Diddy's alleged actions following the March
2016 beating of an unnamed victim—believed to be his former partner, Cassie—at
a Los Angeles hotel.
The U.S. Attorney's Office cited the
now-infamous incident, where Diddy allegedly assaulted the victim during an
event at the InterContinental Hotel. The documents describe a brutal scene,
with Diddy accused of punching the victim, throwing her to the ground, kicking
her, and attempting to drag her back to their hotel room. Though the victim’s
name remains redacted, the description closely matches details from previously
reported incidents involving Cassie.
Prosecutors are particularly focused on
what transpired immediately after the assault. Hotel security, having witnessed
the attack on surveillance footage, approached Diddy, who allegedly attempted
to bribe the officer with a "stack of cash" to remain silent. Despite
the security guard rejecting the bribe, Diddy reportedly directed his team to
retrieve the footage, which prosecutors claim "disappeared" from the
hotel's servers within days.
Given this alleged attempt to obstruct
justice, the prosecution is urging the court to uphold the lower court’s
decision to deny Diddy bond, citing concerns that he could attempt to influence
witnesses or destroy evidence. Diddy's legal team has already filed multiple
appeals to challenge the denial of bail, all of which have been unsuccessful so
far.
As the case moves forward, the federal
government is seeking to ensure Diddy remains in custody pending trial, arguing
that his past behavior shows a pattern of attempting to evade justice.
