Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ former assistant wasn’t “surprised” by video footage of him allegedly assaulting Cassie Ventura in a hotel . The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ hitmaker was seen in 2016 surveillance footage released by CNN on Friday apparently grabbing, shoving and kicking his former girlfriend. Though Suzi Siegel - who worked for the rap mogul from 2008 to 2009 - confirmed she “never saw him speak harshly to [Cassie] or be abusive toward her or anything like that”, she admitted she always felt the “power dynamic” between the pair wasn’t right.
Explaining how she felt “sick and violently angry” after seeing the footage, Siegel told CNN: “I rode in limos with them, I went to parties with them. I guess what I would say is, even though I never saw anything that could corroborate what’s in that lawsuit and what we just saw, there was not one cell in my body that was surprised. “I would say that I was around him a lot and I got a feeling for who he was.
“I didn’t see anything that could get him in trouble. But I think that [there’s a] power dynamic in a situation like that — especially her, at the beginning of her career, so young and beautiful and talented.” And Siegel stressed her former boss didn’t mistreat her.
She said: “I didn’t see that proof. “Obviously, I saw it with the rest of America today. But when I saw it, I knew that it was something that he could be capable of.
