Singer Cassie has recently made a public statement in response to a video showing rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting her. The video, which was released by CNN last week, captured an incident from 2016 where Ms. Ventura alleged that her ex-boyfriend and producer had attacked her. Diddy has since apologized for his actions, stating that he was “disgusted” by the incident in an Instagram video.
In her statement posted on Instagram, Cassie expressed gratitude towards her friends, family, and the public for their support during this challenging time. She emphasized the importance of believing victims of domestic violence and highlighted the ongoing journey of healing from past trauma. Last November, Cassie settled a lawsuit against Combs, where she accused him of rape and sexual trafficking.
Despite the settlement, Combs’ lawyer clarified that it was not an admission of wrongdoing. Cassie’s lawyers criticized Diddy’s apology, suggesting that it was more focused on himself than addressing the harm he had caused. This comes in the wake of a model accusing Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2003, adding to a series of allegations against the well-known rapper and businessman.
The article also mentions recent federal raids on Combs’ homes as part of a human trafficking investigation. These developments shed light on the complexities of addressing allegations of abuse and violence within the entertainment industry.
