Addressing Disturbing Video with Diddy

Popular American singer, Cassie finally breaks silence as she releases a statement in reaction to the controversial video of the American rap artist Diddy assaulting her. It would be recalled that an uproar was recently created on social media after a video from 2016 showing Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie at their hotel was made public.

Although Diddy had apologized for his acts from years ago, Cassie had remained mute on the issue, until recently. She took to her Instagram page to thank everyone who showed her support during the scandal. Cassie noted that being abused domestically had broken her down and turned her into someone she never thought she would become.

However, the words of encouragement and care that she had recently received had given her younger self respite.

She wrote:

“Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those 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 would become. With
a lot of hard work, I am better today, but will always be recovering from my past,
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, dont cut them off. t’ro one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never endinq. but this support means everything to me. Thank you,

Love Always.
Cassie”
