In an interview with CNN, the “All of Me” singer said he is “horrified” by the many allegations that have surfaced about Combs, even before the news outlet released a video of the music producer physically assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
“I was horrified by the details I read before the video evidence came out,” John Legend said of the allegations made against Combs by Ventura and several other women. “And of course, it’s something that needs to be brought to light when it happens.”
Video obtained by CNN shows the music producer running out of the hotel room in a towel while a woman, who appears to be Ventura, walks toward the elevator.
