Ventura said domestic violence had broken her down “to someone I never thought I would become”.
Los Angeles - Singer Cassie Ventura, ex-girlfriend of rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, has publicly thanked the people who supported her after the release of a 2016 surveillance video that appeared to show him assaulting her at a Los Angeles hotel and spoken out against domestic violence.
“Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet,” the “Me & U” vocalist wrote in a post on Instagram.“Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become,” she added.“I’m truly sorry,” he said in a video post on his Instagram page. “My behaviour on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it.
In the surveillance video, the rapper appears to grab Ventura as she waits by an elevator at the hotel.“My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims for the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in,” she wrote.She urged people to never bear burdens alone and said her “healing journey” would never end even with support.“The Color Purple” actor Taraji P.
The parties settled the matter the following day for undisclosed terms. Representatives for Combs said at the time the settlement was “in no way an admission of wrongdoing.” Attorney Meredith Firetog, who represented Ventura, said Combs’ apology on Sunday does not vindicate him.
