Right? And on top of that even if she never tried to leave again, look what she had to think about going thru if she did. It didn’t stop there either. I’d bet my life that he threatened her with physical harm, threatened her with defamation, threatened to hurt her family. Probably threatened her with things we can’t even imagine. That’s what that person in power does.

[@keithbell9348]

Based on what Cassie revealed in advance about what you see on that video, (in her civil lawsuit), She was escaping from one of his infamous "freak off" sessions. But as you can clearly see- he restrained her from escaping and dragged her back to it. By legal defintion- this is criminal restraint (at the least a misdemeanor at the worst- a felony.) Also kidnapping, a clear felony. For all too long many wondered- as did I, why didnt she just leave that guy. THIS is an example of how difficult it was for her to get away from him. Also thru his contracts that he held over her head, his psychological abuse, plying her with drugs, his threats and also his fellow enablers. And don't fall back on the lame tired excuse- "if it had been me..." It wasn't you. It was HER. And you don't know what you would have did until you found yourself in that situation. Just ask any man who was assaulted or sexually victimized, and ask him why he didn't rush to tell the authorities!

[@MsBellasworld]

I can only imagine the threats he told her in addition to promises. On top of which, I think she wanted to see the good in him and there’s nothing wrong with her for that.

[@msjackson6131]

Yes Are there no federal charges that can be brought against him

[@keithbell9348]

@msjackson6131 not based on that video. But there are indeed some federal charges that can be leveled against Diddy. Take another look at the lawsuit launched against Diddy by Lil Rod. That lawsuit was well drafted with intricate details about racketeering, possibly money laundering, sex trafficking and more all falling under the heading of RICO charges. And THAT is what these investigstors who are interviewing witnesses behind the scenes, gathering a mountain of evidence falling up on leads. If one is looking at those freak offs and concluding "Puffy's safe, aint nothing here" they are looking in the wrong direction.

You can look at the old interactions between P.Diddy and Cassie and tell something is not right, even before the lawsuit. He looks like he is trying to be tough and she looks like she is barely hanging on, but in glamorous expensive clothing. The fact he settled the lawsuit so quick, shows he knew it was all true. Really sad. He has daughters too. He admitted to having issues. The industry is full of men like this. Have to be so careful. The fact he was her boss and in a romantic relationship with her was wrong. Should have never happened.

[@Ava2969ny]

@prettylyricsmarie -- that's what these men in the industry do! They use their power and fact that they can advance a woman's career as leverage to get involved with them romantically. No one has ever checked these guys in the industry, which is why it has gone on for so long. It's sad that someone who has daughters can be so exploitative...I will never understand that aspect of it.

For everyone commenting why didn’t she leave or why didn’t she go to the cops, when a victim believes that there is no life line for them they keep quiet. Sean Combs has the resources to make a lotta things disappear. The only reason we’re seeing this video is because his home was raided. He bought that video surveillance. He can pay cops to leave when called. Cassie knew that leaving or reaching out for help came with heavy consequences. Clearly she tried escaping while he was in the shower. That got her thrown down and kicked. He kicked her like he was kicking a 50yd FG. Had that kick caught her in the head we’d be having a different discussion. Talk all you want but the real reason ppl kept quiet is because they were afraid and they had every right to be. Sean Combs is diabolical and he has millions of dollars at his disposal to do whatever he wants. Why do you think he isn’t facing charges for that assault?

[@Ms.Federally.Official-Matthews]

A lot of people who worked with Diddy witnessed/ heard/ participated in with regard to Diddy. But, yet those individuals turned a blind eye and said nothing. I'm not surprised by anything having to do with Diddy. I never doubted Cassie nor did i see her lawsuit as a money grab. You are allowed to sue civilly if one is injured regardless of who the defendant is. This video just gives a visual of what exactly this women went through on a regular. The idea that one would question why she stayed or went back multiple times as it takes 7 times for a domestic violence victim to leave for good. Diddy stated he was in therapy( it takes at least 6 to 18 months for the alleged abuser to understand there behavior/ why they are doing it/ anger issues/ diagnosis of mental health if one is needed). There is no 30 to 45 day peogram for men or women who abuse partners/ children/spouse/ friends/ family or others. Diddy claimed he went to rehab, but according to the mule the alleged substance illegal were for Diddy. Again substance abuse is not a 1 size fits all. The old outdated science behind a 30 day program no longer exists. Science now says the average substance user needs between 90 to 120 days and after care ti maintain sobriety. Its clear Diddy has a problem. As a survior of domestic violence, people often ask why did you stay so long. When you are constantly threatened with physical/ emotional/ mental violence it breaks you down to the core of your soul. When you seek out a restraining order and the person continues to violate it, speaks volumes of one's fear for themselves and that of there children. Yes, in part you do think its going to get better and yes in part you do blame yourself for the actions of the person. But, i finally left when the fear of staying was less importantly that fear of leaving. I left like Cassie when I decided that whatever happens will happen even if that meant more violence or loss of my life. Like Cassie, i left when i regained my power to decide no longer will this continue.

[@gotthejuicenow7448]

Sorry she don’t know nothing y she being interviewed she just rambling on and she suing him too. I heard low-key she need to call her best friend on the phone to check on her. Why are you doing a CNN interview?

[@ashajeremiahqw8775]

Exactly

[@Indiviidual]

Cassie legally cannot speak for sake of NDA. Tif is carrying the torch for her bestie who is probably with her every step of the way. You go Tiffany! a Hero.

[@eldenringer6466]

Cassie silence was bought and paid for. I have zero respect for her but I pity the countless other victims he hurt as a result. And I pity cassie who took cash for violent abuse.

[@Ava2969ny]

@eldenringer6466 people who criticize Cassie for taking cash for silence don't understand the judicial system and the fact that he is a celebrity with ties to major/global corporations. You don't need to respect her, but understand that she probably did what she felt she had to do; she may not have had another option; he had the power to destroyed her professionally and personally. Whatever financial rewards she should have reaped from a successful career were all blocked because Diddy was also her boss. In many respects, she was owed the monetary compensation, aside from the legality of it.

[@Sarcasticron]

It's scary to see all the ignorant comments like, "why didn't she leave?" I wish more people would listen to Tiffany Red, and others who have the knowledge to explain why. But some people just have no sense of compassion, and they don't really want to understand. I hope we'll see some justice happen soon.

[@anthonygriffin1958]

Hmm! 🤔 💭 I often wonder why friends such as those of Ms. Cassie Ventura didn't say anything about the domestic violence she was going through in the past. It could have led to dire circumstances within the household of Sean "Diddy" Combs household. Whatever happened to if you see or hear something, said something in the process.

[@dave6095]

Little does Cassie realize, she is a Hero to so many. God Bless you Cassie.

[@whitneybrown4067]

Blessings 4 KIM n CASSIE💜🙏….

[@kdoherty2526]

Praise Cassie!!!!!! A Hero

[@strauqq1]

Lol oh, hush. 30 mill she aight

[@876BossLady]

"Praise"??? Girl you need to go know the Almighty God he's the only one should get all praise

[@biggiesmalls112]

You can thank people like Amber Heard who makes it harder for real victims to be believed.

[@marypenn2753]

This friend said nothing

[@Shadow-xn8qq]

Yet you said nothing! You knew it. Wow some friend!

[@YonnyNoland]

Domestic Abuse Is Not A Joke

[@j_krueger74]

She remembers but haven't said nothing 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@KD_SWAGGER]

It's getting worse and worse for Diddy.

[@CcRosey65]

Thank you for being her voice Tiffany 🙏🙌 we need to keep the pressure on him because lord only knows what they all went through. Anyone that may have been a victim.

[@MikeManning-p8u]

You don't have to be with a famous and rich person to experience domestic violence. I personally know a woman who is married to a poor man and he physically and mentally abuse her.

[@Cxn213]

Why isn't anyone asking why a grown ass man couldn't leave her alone? This woman who we saw clearly trying to leave him in that video & he kept stopping her. This man who has shown how he is capable of taking lives, how was she to leave? He could have let her go, though, but everyone is worried about a victim not leaving when it's been proven that she tried, but he physically forced her not to. People are weird

[@rw8126]

This girl was just on here babbling

[@bwfiibwfii1642]

Stay strong sisters I’m happy to see you all speak up

[@jchange6189]

Why didn't u help her as her friend back than?

[@Nda54Gem]

She probably did but Ultimately Cassie had to make the Final Decision. She at least needed to have her friend by her side.

[@eMoneyDen]

We are saying this now because she is alive, if she had tried to leave for real before she really could and was killed, we would all be everywhere saying RIP

[@risaandjesus]

I agree with her. I’ve been in an abusive relationship. Whether the abuser is famous or not, its not easy to leave. I would literally stay in the relationship not because I wanted to, but because I was in fear. It’s not God’s will for anyone to be abused. I wasted all those years and after I got out of the relationship it took me 2-4 years to heal.

[@rtbrook4840]

Bravo Cassie for having the courage to speak out against the atrocious behavior of this monster! Shame on the media for allowing him to utilize their platforms in order to do damage control. May God bless & strengthen you.❤

[@mrsse1121]

He did all of it

[@Laurenlilly902]

He knocked her out COLD!!!!! Jesus Christ!! He’s a monster

[@Meems-p7o]

A whole bunch of words and nothing said by that woman.

[@lilianamedina1724]

If she cared about her "friend," why not speak up about it for her a long time ago? and report it while they could at the time. She knew damn well about the abuse.

[@TS-xz3he]

She was more passionate and articulate when she discussed her songs being stolen by major artists. They should've scrapped this interview.

[@Ava2969ny]

lol

[@TheZWhite]

She is still scared to speak openly. Diddy has some real influence.

[@anetricejones4263]

Don't forget about the other women whos been abused and can't get a 30 million dollar pay day...to get from under an abusive man.

[@myronsmith2114]

The boy should have paid that money

[@XtremeSportX247]

He's one of a million Wealthy Abusers... It happens in Music Movies Sports Politics and even the church.... let's expose all these control freaks

[@robinshelton8582]

My close to seven years of abuse ended in 1978 after my abuser / childrens father was murdered 7 months later, that was so hard to feel safe but sad and then also looking at my 3 babies with no father but they witnessed my last beating at 2,3,6 ,its been hard over these years but i had to forgive him and also defend myself and what i went through because many have forgotten how i wasteeated but not hes gone so hes always been a hero and a villain ,god bless all who escape and keep the awareness out there it rose a lot during covid and it happens every day ,every hour still 🫶🏼🙏🏼

[@cheleflores6928]

Everyone forgets Chris Brown did the same damn thing and everyone forgave him only difference is they didn't show his beat down on 📹📼

[@kay35rc]

Right. Chris Brown has sold out shows. I am like wow. He abused both Rihanna and Karrueche. I was surprised made a song with him recently.

[@CourageUnderFire87]

Tiffany has been clout chasing heavy!

[@SuperMogul]

Cry me a river, the incident happened in 2016. No charges filed then. She's married with kids now. The money got low, so let me sue my former ex Billionaire BF for $30 Million.

[@PoliticalJunky101]

This man needs to be charged and arrested. He is a perverse, twisted and violent individual. May the victims be well compensated. There should be new legislation passed regarding the music industry. Nobody should ever be able to have this much power over many.

[@stopaskig]

He is a monster and why has do many people have died around him. He had something to do with Biggie and Kim deaths.

[@empresslonnie1love391]

My heart goes out to her .

[@honeyboo7549]

To all BYSTANDERS: SHAME IN YOU! Your careers were way more important you, your status, connections, whatever the heck. NOW all of a sudden, you CAN speak out. What changed ya'll?! I know, I've been there. And I made it, by my OWN. Kudos to ALL survivers if abuse.

[@MsBROWNIEBABE]

From Cameron to Tiffany… y’all need to get better guest. I’m surprised with Tiffany cause she had alot to say, this would be the platform to do so.

[@lovehopefully5463]

These people can't even do a proper interview because of the repercussions to their careers and lives. She is being so careful with her words.

[@Ava2969ny]

Yes, that's what people don't understand; anyone who is close to Cassie can't really say much because it has the potential to jeopardize their careers and have them blacklisted in the industry.
