olympics champs facing off on the road to paris. this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. good evening and welcome music mogul sean diddy combs facing a new round of negative public scrutiny tonight after the surfacing of disturbing surveillance video, which i'll warn were about to show in a moment. first obtained by cnn of what appears to be mr. combs physically assaulting his former girlfriend, cassie ventura, in the hallway of a los angeles hotel. the video, believed to be from 2016, appears to closely mirror ventura's account of the incident as she detailed it for a federal lawsuit filed last year, and that resulted in an undisclosed settlement between the pair. combs, who has denied previous domestic violence allegations, is right now the subject of a separate federal criminal investigation. chloe melas has more on this developing story. disturbing new

video appears to show music executive sean diddy combs physically assaulting his then girlfriend, cassie ventura, in a los angeles hotel back in 2016. the silent video, obtained by cnn. ventura is seen walking down the hall, followed by combs wearing only a towel. who has seen grabbing, dragging and kicking ventura in the elevator bank. the surveillance video appears to be from an incident described in a lawsuit ventura filed against combs last november. the complaint states that around march of 2016, at a former intercontinental hotel in century city, mr. combs became extremely intoxicated and punched mr. ventura in the face, giving her a black eye. it goes on to describe how he followed her into the hallway, grabbed at her, took glass faces in the hallway and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape. the complaint also alleges combs paid the hotel $50,000 for the hallway. security footage from that evening. in a statement to nbc

news, intercontinental's parent company said this hotel is no longer under ihg management and we do not have any access to prior incident records or footage, adding it did not receive money for the footage. so far, there's no indication from law enforcement officials that any criminal complaint was filed by ventura. this video could create huge problems for diddy, especially with people who may be thinking about bringing allegations against diddy but haven't done so yet. ventura declined to comment on the footage today, but her attorney released a statement saying the gut wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of mr. combs. ventura and combs settled the lawsuit earlier this year for an undisclosed amount of money. at the time, combs team released a statement saying we have decided to resolve this matter amicably. i wish cassie and her family all the best. combs did not respond to nbc news request for comment today. but in the past has repeatedly denied committing

acts of domestic violence. this comes as the music mogul faces multiple civil lawsuits, with allegations including abuse and sexual assault spanning decades. in march, federal agents raided his properties in los angeles and miami. if federal authorities are investigating diddy for human trafficking violations, this video could be very interesting evidence to them. and khloe, because of the statute of limitations, we likely won't see criminal charges here. that's right. while the window has passed for ventura to file criminal charges here, federal investigators could use this video as part of their investigation. and also those that have civil cases. they could actually use this video to show that there has been a pattern of behavior here all right. chloe melas tonight. thank you. now to the severe weather in the houston area that left multiple people dead and caused widespread damage with hurricane force winds, it was just the latest destructive storm to hit the spring. here's priscilla thompson. cars
