of the abuse claims against rapper music producer sean diddy combs. graphic surveillance footage seems to show combs repeatedly hitting his then girl friend inside a los angeles hotel back in 2016. we want to warn you, what you're about to see is very disturbing. >> reporter: new surveillance footage obtained exclusively by cnn appears to corroborate some of the allegations of abuse against music mogul sean diddy combs. the video captured on multiple cameras shows combs assaulting his then girl friend cassie ventura in a hallway at a los angeles hotel in march 2016. a lawsuit filed by ventura in november last year and settled the next day referenced actions that seemed to match those seen in this video. there is no audio. according to the complaint, combs became extremely intoxicated and punched ms. ventura in the face giving her a black eye, which according to
5:39 pm
the lawsuit, prompted ventura to try and leave the hotel room. the surveillance video obtained by cnn begins as she enters the hallway. the complaint says as she exited, mr. combs awoke and began screaming at ms. ventura. he followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. the complaint goes on to say he grabbed her and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her. in the surveillance video combs can be seen grabbing ventura and throwing her to the ground. as ventura lies on the ground, combs then kicks her twice and attempts to drag her on the floor back to the hotel room. ventura is seen picking up a hotel phone. combs seems to walk back to the hotel room, then returns and appears to shove her in a corner. moments later he can be seen throwing an object in her direction. according to ventura's now settled lawsuit, the pair began dating several years after they met in 2005. they parted ways in 2019. combs' attorney said
5:40 pm
the decision to settle was in no way an admission of wrongdoing. ventura declined to comment on the video, but her attorney told cnn the gut wrenching 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. the video hasn't been seen publicly before and comes on the heels of a series of civil lawsuits alleging combs' involvement in sex trafficking and sexual abuse, allegations combs repeatedly denied. in a december 2023 statement, combs responded to the claims in all the lawsuits saying, "sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. let me be absolutely clear. i did not do any of the awful things being alleged." >> so far there's been no comment from combs' attorney

5:46 pm
shouldn't it? >> you have to try out to gorge yourself. >> i don't know if we really call trying. >> i'll pass. >> absolutely not. one or two is about the extent. >> exactly. let's look at what's in store heading into the weekend. not much change in the big weather picture pattern. a storm system misses us will to the north into the pacific northwest and british columbia. tomorrow that reduces the weight of the atmosphere. so it's going to be an even deeper marine layer, but the wind shift that follows that system, just the little shift in wind direction, will help skies clear out a bit faster sunday. that's good news for bay to breakers, may see sunshine peeking through along the coast and temperatures should warm up at least a little bit sunday, more of a warm-up early next week. today's temperatures were pretty close to normal. the fog is still hanging out along the coast and make a little push over the city. san francisco 63 degrees, 61 for half moon bay, close to 70 in santa rosa, just
5:47 pm
short, 70 in fremont, mid-70s for concord and san jose. temperatures will drop off the rest of tonight and the fog is going to spread back out. it's going to be pretty widespread as we head into early tomorrow morning pushing well into the inland valleys and a deeper layer of fog might take a little extra time to dissipate, but it will back up to the coast late morning and midday. i don't think you'll see a lot of clearing along the coast tomorrow, better chance on sunday. let's look at the forecast low temperatures for tonight, dropping down mostly into the low to mid-50s, not a whole lot of variation, 54 degrees in san jose, one of the least cool spots with inland parts of the east bay, 54 degrees in antioch, right around 50 degrees for half moon bay, normal for this time of year. they have about a 10 to 12-degree spread along the coast between the low in the morning and high in the afternoon. low 50s in san francisco and oakland and the north bay valleys dipping to the upper 40s around santa rosa and petaluma. your temperatures will be a little cool through the day tomorrow as well. tomorrow's forecast highs only
5:48 pm
reach the upper 60s in the north bay while other inland parts of the bay area mostly get to the mid- to upper 70s, around 80 degrees near antioch and brentwood. mid- to upper 60s for san francisco and oakland and upper 50s along the coast in pacifica and half moon bay tomorrow, not a surprise this time of year to see 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s jumbled together on the map. should be farther into the 80s heading into the first couple days of next week for inland parts of the bay area. short term our fog pattern will repeat itself and our wind pattern will repeat itself as well. the strongest gusts are in the 20 to 25-mile-an-hour range mainly closer to the coast and those gusts will pick up by saturday afternoon mostly around 25 miles an hour with the straight onshore breeze pretty much directly out of the west tomorrow afternoon. let's look at the seven-day forecast. we'll start with coastal parts of the bay area where temperatures aren't going to change a lot, but there is a little warm-up that kicks in by sunday, monday, and tuesday, a little bit more sunshine
5:49 pm
peeking through the clouds. as we finish the workweek and get closer to memorial day weekend, it's back to may gray and temperatures ton running in the upper 50s. the warm-up that happens early next week will be a bit more noticeable around the bay with low to mid-70s and back to the 60s thursday and friday. temperatures farther away from the water will have the greatest warm-up, low to mid-80s by monday and tuesday for inland parts of the bay area. see if we can get the right forecast in here. inland areas get into the mid-80s a couple days and then back to the 70s thursday and friday with cooler than average temperatures looking more likely as we head into the holiday weekend. we'll look at the ten-day temperature outlook at 6:00. >> thanks, paul. time for a check at what's ahead at 6:00, we switch over to juliette. neighbors call it a sign of the times, a stop sign hanging over an intersection where a traffic light should be in oakland. it is a problem that forced the city to get rid of
5:50 pm
the signals altogether and why it's a permanent fix that may not be that easy. plus these homeless camp cleanouts are at the center of a supreme court battle. we go along with the man who admits he has one of the least desired jobs in san francisco. he shows us both the challenges and the best case outcomes of his efforts, all that and more coming up in ten minutes. let's go to matt for a lot of sports. >> yeah. hi, jules. the last thing i expected to wake up to this morning was news that scottie scheffler had been arrested en route to the pga championship. the world's number one golfer was arrested trying to get into the course, reportedly avoiding a fatal scene where confusion with traffic cops ended with scottie in cuffs and a felony assault charge. after being booked and put into a jumpsuit for a mugshot, he got to the greens an hour before tee time. he stuck the approach shot on his
5:51 pm
opening hole. that set up one of six birdies on the round. he shot a 66 to get to 9 under for the tournament. can you imagine getting arrested and then shooting 66 for a major? he's only 2 shots off heading into the weekend. >> my situation will get handled. it was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding and i can't comment on any of the specifics of it. so i feel like you all are going to be disappointed. >> how do you encapsulate everything that happened to you today? >> i don't really know. i feel like my head is still spinning. i can't really explain what happened this morning. i did spend some time stretching in a jail cell. that was a first for me, part of my warm-up. i was sitting there waiting. >> the post about scheffler's arrest was all over social media, hall of fame worthy day in that regard. joking that it was rory mcilroy who called the cops on scottie to try and get
5:52 pm
him out of the tournament or scottie should just go all orange like rickie fowler for the final round sunday and then if he's next on the tee, he must be free, johnnie cochran. as for the players that did not get arrested this morning, viktor hovland, one hop and in for an eagle, a 66 to move into the top ten. he's four shots back. tiger woods got off to a terrible shot with two triple bogeys, but he almost had the shot of the day on the par three 8. woods shot a 77 and missed the cut unfortunately. collin morikawa won the pga championship at harding park in 2021. he's got another wanamaker in his sights this week. he rolled in five straight birdies on the back 9 and shot 65, one off the lead that belongs to xander shauffele. he had 3 under 68, 12 under for the tournament. shauffele has never won a major
