Cassie breaks her silence on the disturbing Diddy assault video released last week.
In an Instagram post, the singer thanked her supporters for the “outpouring of love” that has created a safe space for her younger self, and said the abuse she endured “broke” her down to someone she didn’t recognize.

However, with therapy, Cassie said she’s better today and continues on her healing journey. She urged people to take domestic violence seriously and to “open your heart to believing victims the first time” as “it takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in,” she continued.
The 2016 video of Diddy assaulting Cassie, exclusively shared by CNN, aligns with the incident Cassie noted in the lawsuit she filed against the Bad Boys founder for physical and sexual abuse back in November 2023. Diddy has since posted an apology regarding the footage, taking “full responsibility” for his “disgusting” behavior.
