Cassie Ventura spoke out for the first time since her lawsuit and video was released of her being abused by ex. Sean Diddy Combs.
On Instagram Cassie wrote:
“Thank you for all 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.”
“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,” she continued.
“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. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie.”
In her Comment section her husband Alex said:
Love you so much , perfect example for our daughters.
Other comments thanked her for her bravery saying her story will help so many others.
“We love you and we see you Cassie. What you went through in silence is what so many women have endured for years, me and my Mother included. Your story will help so many women seek help. Thank you for being so brave to tell it,” one person wrote, while another added, “Thank you for being brave for all of us who never got the justice we deserved ❤️❤️❤️.”
A few days ago Cassie’s attorney Douglas H. Wigdor, made a statement about the video saying:
“The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”
Charlamagne speaks about Diddy while on The View and says we shouldn't focus on the individual but the issue, which is domestic violence.
