Cassie Ventura has spoken out for the first time about the disturbing video showing her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting her in a hotel in 2016, saying it deeply affected her and changed her in ways she never expected.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Ventura expressed gratitude for the support she has received and acknowledged the love she has been shown.
She emphasized that domestic violence is a significant issue and revealed that it had profoundly impacted her, but she has been working hard and is in a better place today.
Ventura thanked everyone who has taken her situation seriously and urged people to believe victims from the outset. She extended a hand to those who are still living in fear, encouraging them to reach out for support rather than isolating themselves.
She acknowledged that her healing journey is ongoing but expressed how meaningful the support has been to her.
Ventura concluded her statement with a message of gratitude and signed off with “Love Always, Cassie.”
The incident was captured in surveillance footage released by CNN, which shows Combs throwing Ventura to the floor, kicking her, dragging her down a hallway, and throwing objects at her.
