Cassie, whose full name is Cassandra Ventura, has publicly addressed her experiences following the release of disturbing footage showing her being attacked by Diddy. In a heartfelt statement posted on her Instagram on Thursday, May 23, Cassie expressed deep gratitude towards her supporters for their overwhelming love and support during this challenging time.
“The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning,” Cassie shared with her followers. Her statement not only acknowledged the support she has received but also hinted at the long journey of healing that lies ahead. She revealed the profound impact of the domestic violence she endured, stating, “It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become,” reflecting on the transformational pain caused by the abuse.
Cassie’s ordeal with Diddy came into sharper focus late last year when she first filed a lawsuit against him. The legal documents laid bare nearly a decade of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse that Cassie endured throughout their relationship, shocking allegations that included sex trafficking. Her initial revelations were met with significant backlash, a point she highlighted in her recent post, urging the public to “start believing victims the first time.”
In her statement, Cassie also extended a hand to those who might still be living in fear, encouraging them to seek help. “This healing journey is never-ending, but this support means everything to me,” she emphasized, showing her commitment to not only her own recovery but also to assisting others who may be facing similar battles.
Cassie’s public acknowledgment of her experiences and her resolve to support others in similar situations underscores her transformation into an advocate for victims of domestic violence. Her message serves as a beacon of hope for many, reminding them of the importance of support, belief in survivors’ testimonies, and the continual nature of healing from such deep traumas.
