Cassie Ventura breaks silence over Sean Diddy assault video
The video’s publication has brought Cassie’s accusations against Diddy from November of last year—that she was sexually assaulted by him—back to light.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura has finally reacted to a recent video that purportedly shows the American rapper abusing her.
The unsettling video, which came to light last week, shows Diddy pulling, beating, and kicking Cassie during a 2016 altercation.
The video’s publication has brought Cassie’s accusations against Diddy from November of last year—that she was sexually assaulted by him—back to light.
Cassie claimed in a now-settled case that Diddy repeatedly beat, sexually assaulted, and trafficked her over a ten-year period.
After the release of the footage, Diddy acknowledged the attack, calling his behavior “inexcusable” and expressing contrition.
Despite the settlement of the lawsuit, the video has brought the issue back into the public eye, prompting Cassie to make a statement.
On Thursday, Cassie addressed the situation, emphasising the gravity of domestic violence.
“Domestic violence is the issue,” she stated, revealing how the abuse “broke me down to someone I never thought I’d become.”
She expressed gratitude for the support she has received from her family and the public, noting that the “outpouring of love” has provided her with a sense of safety and peace.
Cassie also took the opportunity to advocate for victims of abuse, urging people to believe those who come forward with their stories.
“Thank you for all of the love and support from my family. friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet. The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past,” she wrote.
“Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously. My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in.
“I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone.
“This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me.”
