Cassie is breaking her silence following the release of the now-viral video showing her being physically abused by her ex, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
On Wednesday the singer/model released her first statement since the video which dates back to 2016, leaked a little under two weeks ago.
It also marks her first statement since she filed her civil lawsuit against Diddy just last year which was settled out of court just a day later.
While her attorneys issued a statement days after the news broke, this is the first official statement from Cassie directly.
Thank you for all of 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.
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
