“There wasn't a cell in my body that was shocked,” Suzi Siegel admitted of the gruesome video of the 54-year-old rapper attacking his ex-girlfriend.
Before the ex-assistant's conversation with CNN on Friday, the outlet released disturbing surveillance footage from 2016 that showed Combs, 54, violently assaulting Ventura at a hotel.
As Combs' aide, Siegel said he was around the couple “a lot.”
She explained that she had started working for Combs shortly after she started dating Ventura in 2007.
However, during the time she was employed by him, she said she did not experience any abuse herself or witness him abuse his then-girlfriend.
“I rode in limos with them, I went to parties with them,” he recalled.
