'Just as bad': Jennifer Lopez reminded of history with Diddy as she's 'disgusted' by Cassie Ventura assault

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez has been deeply affected by the recent footage of her ex-boyfriend, Sean "Diddy" Combs, assaulting Cassie Ventura in a hotel corridor.

The release of this disturbing video marks another blow for Lopez, who is reportedly struggling to save her marriage to Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez 'disgusted' by Diddy beating Cassie Ventura

The footage, which surfaced last Friday, shows Diddy violently attacking Cassie at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City in 2016. In the video, Diddy can be seen throwing Cassie to the ground, kicking her, and dragging her back to their room.

This shocking incident has triggered widespread backlash and left many, including Lopez, deeply unsettled.

According to a source who spoke to DailyMail.com, Lopez, who dated Diddy from 1999 to 2001, is "disturbed" and "heartbroken" by the video. Despite her emotional reaction, Lopez has no plans to publicly address the incident or the various accusations against Diddy. The source emphasized that Lopez considers this matter to be Cassie's story, not hers.

"Among everything else that Jen is dealing with in her life, she is aware and has seen what Diddy did and is tremendously disappointed," a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.

"Jen is not going to address the accusations or take time to talk about them because it is not her story to tell."

"If she is asked about it in a future interview, she will cross that path as and when it happens, but she won't address it publicly and will not put herself in that conversation on purpose."

Lopez, who has allegedly been in crisis talks about her tour and is struggling to save her marriage to Ben Affleck, was reportedly left disgusted by someone she once trusted turning into a "very damaged human being."

"Among everything else that Jen is dealing with in her life, she is aware and has seen what Diddy did and is disappointed," the insider said.

"Not that people forget, but her relationship with him several years ago had its tumultuous ups and downs. What he has done and what he has been accused of is heartbreaking."

"It is disgusting for her to see that someone, who at one point in her life was someone she put so much trust in, has ended up turning into a very damaged human being. It is disturbing to see."

Lopez has kept quiet about the allegations and lawsuits involving her ex, whose homes were raided by Homeland Security in March as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation. She has spoken little about their past relationship.

The two first met in 1999 on the set of her music video for 'If You Had My Love,' but they parted ways in 2001 amid rumors of infidelity by Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy, which Lopez later confirmed.

Shortly after they began dating, the pair were arrested following a nightclub shooting in Times Square in December 1999 that injured three people.

A different perspective was offered by a user who commented, "J.Lo is not a snitch. Plus why assume that she also had a toxic relationship with Diddy? Maybe he treated her better."
