Natania Reuben, victim of NYC club shooting, insists Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs shot her in the face, willing to have bullet fragments tested

One of the victims of the infamous Club New York shooting involving Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jennifer Lopez and rapper Shyne Barrow is willing to go to any lengths to prove his claim that the rap mogul shot him shot in the face and got away with it.

Natania Reuben, one of three people injured in the 1999 incident, wants the bullet fragments removed from her face for ballistics evidence because she wants the case reopened, the woman said of 53 to guest host Brian Entin on News Nation’s “Elizabeth.” Vargas reports » Friday.

“I’m ready to have a doctor remove part of the nine-millimeter bullet in my face so he can use it as evidence if necessary for this trial, and it could cost me my life,” Reuben said .

Barrow admitted in court that he fired a gun that night, but Reuben insisted for years that he unfairly took the blame from Combs.

She says she still has nine bullet fragments in her face from the shooting, which happened early on the morning of Dec. 27, 1999, at the now-defunct Club New York just off Times Square.

The gunfire erupted after an argument between Diddy, then known as “Puffy,” and his entourage, and a Brooklyn drug dealer named Matthew “Scar” Allen.

Barrow, then 21 and part of Diddy’s crew, was arrested by police as he ran out of the club with a gun.

Diddy and Lopez also fled the club in a Lincoln Navigator, but were stopped by cops on Eighth Avenue and arrested. Lopez was released after 2 p.m. and was never charged in the case.

After a six-week trial in 2001, Barrow was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Combs and his bodyguard, Anthony Jones, were acquitted of weapons charges.

“I saw Mr. Combs… pull out a black gun with his right hand,” Reuben said in her testimony at the time, adding that she felt like “a flaming hammer had hit me in the face “.

Reuben, a mother of three, has been true to her story since day one.

“I literally watched them take out weapons, I had a clear point of view. I mean, for God’s sake, I got shot in the nose. I faced them directly. I watched everything that was happening and described it vehemently to all parties involved,” Reuben said in a previous appearance on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” Thursday.

She is not surprised that some still deny her accusations:

“I give very little credibility to what they say because, while everyone else is the Monday morning quarterback, I am the survivor,” she said. “I was physically there.

“Who better to tell you what happened than the person who got shot between my eyes.”

Despite her confidence, Reuben said she was afraid she would meet an “untimely demise.”

“I am a healthy woman,” she said. “I live a simple, peaceful and risk-free life. So if I were to suffer an untimely demise, it would require a thorough investigation. I understand the danger to which I expose my life.
