Read previewA "smoking gun" video of Sean "Diddy" Combs could help plaintiffs in other civil suits against him bolster their cases, an entertainment lawyer told Business Insider.
In the video, a man appearing to be Combs shoves, drags, kicks, and throws an object toward Ventura in the hotel hallway.
'His career is effectively done'Ventura alleged in her November suit that Combs paid the defunct hotel $50,000 to obtain the surveillance footage.
From the perspective of Combs' defense, Dowlatshahi said Combs' lawyers will probably try to settle the cases and advise Combs to cooperate with authorities.
"His career is effectively done," Dowlatshahi told Business Insider.
