120. In or around March 2016, during an FO at the InterContinental Hotel in Century
City, Los Angeles, Mr. Combs became extremely intoxicated and punched Ms. Ventura in the
face, giving her a black eye.
121. After he fell asleep, Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited,
Mr. Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura. He followed her into the hallway of the
hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her, and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw
them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.
122. She managed to get into the elevator, and when she got to the lobby, quickly took
a cab to her apartment. Upon realizing that her running away would cause Mr. Combs to be even
angrier with her, and completely stuck in his vicious cycle of abuse, Ms. Ventura returned to the
hotel with the intention of apologizing for running away from her abuser. When she returned,
hotel security staff urged her to get back into a cab and go to her apartment, suggesting that they
had seen the security footage showing Mr. Combs beating Ms. Ventura and throwing glass at her
in the hotel hallway.
123. Upon information and belief, Mr. Combs paid the InterContinental Century City
$50,000 for the hallway security footage from that evening.
