Cassie commented in a post on Instagram about the video showing her ex-husband unleashing violence against her.
R&B singer Cassie has broken her silence after CNN broadcast a video last Friday showing her ex-husband, rapper Sean Combs, unleashed violence against her in 2016 at a Los Angeles hotel.
In a message published on Instagram this Thursday, May 23, Cassie declared that she “will always be in remission from the past” before asking her subscribers “to open (their) hearts to believe the victims as soon as they speak out the first time”.
“Domestic violence is a real scourge. It has broken me to a point I never imagined,” she added. “I worked a lot on myself and now I feel better.”
Sean Combs apologized for his “inexcusable” and “disgusting” behavior after the video was broadcast. He explained that he had since sought treatment, particularly for his addictions. “I’m really sorry,” he added.
Several accusations of rape
The 54-year-old rapper and producer, who also calls himself “Diddy”, “Puff Daddy” and “P. Diddy”, has been caught since 2023 by several accusations of rape, sexual exploitation and physical and psychological violence.
Among them is a civil complaint filed in November by Cassie who accused her ex-partner of rape in 2018 and of “violent” and “deviant” behavior for a decade. The matter was ultimately settled “amicably”.
Another complaint was filed last Tuesday against the rapper. Crystal McKinney, a former model, accused him of sexual assault in New York in 2003.
