Cassie Ventura’s message about domestic violence touched many of us including Host and socialite Jeannie Mai.
According to PEOPLE in a statement on Instagram, the singer thanked her “family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet” for their “love and support,” and Mai, 45, was one of many stars who weighed in on her statement in the comments.
Mai wrote that Cassie’s “voice has been a shield and sanctuary for many, including me,” seemingly reflecting her own accusations of domestic abuse, which she recently alleged against her estranged husband Jeezy.
“In every echo of your bravery, Cassie, there lies a melody of hope that dances through the silence,” Mai, 45, wrote. “Thank you for turning your fight into your light ????.”
In an April court filing obtained by PEOPLE, Mai alleged several instances of domestic abuse and child neglect during her relationship with Jeezy, 46, who she claimed had “explosive outbursts, excessive drinking and domestic violence.”
In response, the rapper (born Jay Wayne Jenkins) shared a statement on Instagram denying the allegations, calling them “not only false, but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved.”
“This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous,” he wrote. “It’s disheartening to witness the manipulation and deceit at play and at this time my main concern is being an active father to our daughter as I continue to fight for court mandated joint custody. Rest assured, the truth will prevail through the proper legal channels.”
The pair were married in 2021 and Jeezy filed for divorce in September 2023, calling their marriage “irretrievably broken” with “no hope for reconciliation.”
The former couple share a daughter, 2-year-old Monaco, over whom they continue to battle for custody rights. In April, Jeezy requested joint physical and legal custody of her, as he alleged that he hasn’t had “any significant parenting” with Monaco “all year.”
