A source revealed that Diddy was “shocked” by the release of the video and has met with his lawyers for crisis talks as he fears more could follow.

“His team is preparing for the release of more videos and is now aware that some of the people who were paid to make them available may have retained copies,” they said.

Diddy was seen throwing Cassie to the ground and furiously kicking her, and an insider told DailyMail.com that his team is “gearing up” for the release of more videos.

A close confidante of Cassie's claimed she was also shocked by the release of the viral clip, which was said to 'tease her'

The video comes as the artist faces a series of allegations and lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, rape and sex trafficking, including a lawsuit filed by Cassie that was settled out of court in November.

Diddy has denied the allegations against him and his representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment when contacted by DailyMail.com.

His alleged crisis talks with lawyers unfolded as his team fears more is to come.

“His people are also concerned about the footage that may have been recorded in the recording studios,” he continued.

They added that CNN may already be in discussions with others who have damaging videos and alleged that “there.” they are others that people have been holding around.'

A close confidante of Cassie's told us she was also shocked by the release of the viral clip, which was said to “tease her.”

“She is glad to have escaped him and plans to write a book that will help other victims of domestic abuse escape their evil tormentors,” they said.

In the footage, taken from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016, Diddy was seen shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall.

An insider told DailyMail.com that Cassie is “glad to have escaped (Diddy)” and plans to write a book about her alleged ordeal in their relationship.

He then kicked her as she lay motionless on the floor, before grabbing the two designer bags she had tried to escape with.

Diddy stood on top of her, kicked her again and then dragged her back to her room by her sweatshirt.

Cassie has since claimed in her lawsuit that Diddy had paid the same hotel $50,000 for the footage after the attack.

In a statement to DailyMail.com, Cassie's lawyer Douglas Wigdor said: 'The heartbreaking video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr Combs.

“Words cannot express the courage and fortitude Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Despite the widespread outrage caused by the images of the hotel, the The Los Angeles District Attorney's office issued a statement maintaining that it has no option to prosecute him.

The office cited the statute of limitations for the assault and said that because the footage was filmed in March 201, the window to file charges has expired.

“If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would not be able to charge, as the conduct would have occurred beyond the time frame in which a felony assault can be prosecuted,” the LA DA's office wrote in a statement.

California's statute of limitations for simple assault is one year, although aggravated assault is three years. According to the timeline, no charges could be brought against Diddy.

The office added that law enforcement has not filed charges against Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, in connection with the attack.

After Cassie's lawsuit was settled in November, her lawyers released a statement saying the star “decided to resolve this matter amicably on the terms that I would have some level of control.”

“I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.”

In his own statement following the settlement, Diddy's attorney said his settlement of the case was in no way an admission of guilt.

His lawyer added that he denies all of Ventura's accusations.
