[@teedee643]

To try to leave a man who is sleeping after he beats you, and then wakes up and chases you in a towel as you try to escape…The fear! She didn’t even have shoes on. She also said he would keep her drugged. So so terribly sad for a victim to have to relive this again and again publicly in order to get justice is disgusting.

[@XaraK1]

That video is jarring af. The way he ran. And people don't understand that the most dangerous time for an abused woman is when she is preparing to leave, or after she leaves. Leaving is the hardest thing because, by the time the beating comes, the abuser has your mind

[@LMK1942]

[@FAithh977]

[@ms.c9979]

I think back on when they “broke up” in reality when she escaped the narrative was “he wasted her time, he didn’t marry her” when in reality she was probably happy she had escaped and terrified at the same time. Poor woman.

Cassie didn’t expose this tape. Diddy had this tape. Even in the lawsuit, Cassie stated that Diddy purchased the footage from the hotel in 2016 for 50k.

If Cassie’s team dropped it, it would’ve been dropped much earlier

Did you say ”lick Cassie’s tampon?” That’s a crazy and disgusting thing to ask someone to do. Maybe he’s a warlock and was performing a spell. It’s wild out here.

[@SunnyIcedQueen]

Diddy punched her once and she went to the ground and lay still. She remained still as he kicked her and only moved after he dragged her. Cassie has been through this before, multiple times. She learned to not defend herself when he is erratic because he would continue beating her up. She learned that she needed to get still enough to survive the beating. Because if she moves and he hits her at a certain angle, she would die of internal bleeding due to an injury. A DV victim learns to survive the wrath, until they are courageous enough to walk away and never come back.

[@msmelanated8481]

It has been statistically proven that the first thing an abuser does is isolate his victims. Next, they break the victim mentally, and finally, the most dangerous time for a domestic violence victim is when she/he tries to leave. I have two friends who went through this. The physical damage heals fairly quickly. The mental and emotional wounds can last for the rest of a victim’s life. Also, let’s not forget about the collateral damage. Any children that are present in the home. I believe their wounds can be deeper than the adult(s).

*Battered Women's Syndrome* is a clinical psychological ailment. Victims don't leave because of one or more of the following: the victim stays because she/he may not have the resources to care for the children, her/his self-esteem has been leveled to the ground and feels as though no one else will want them, the victim fears retribution from the abuser if she/he *tries* to leave, the victims may have been abandoned and don't want to abandon her/his abuser, etc. Domestic violence victims and survivors are emotionally and psychological in *pain* and are *paralyzed* with fear, insecurity, anxiety, and apprehension.

Oh yeah. He rented out the ENTIRE brown hotel in Louisville. A historic highend hotelier. I was a flight attendant at the time for a major carrier. My employer airline paid yearly, 2M to secure 12 to 18 crew rooms for every night of the year - in that hotel. Well for the Kentucky Derby that year, I think its been maybe 9 to 10 years ago, the crews of all of the airlines had to be 'walked' to another hotel (that's just a term for a last minute airline booking their crews to a nearby hotel rather than the yearly contracted and paid for hotel), bc Sean Combes paid for the entire hotel to be closed for his group for 3 days. He had to have paid several Million to do this. Capitalism in real life. Mond you that hotel didn't even allow black patrons until the 70s. It was built in the late 1800s.

I’m sorry, y’all forget Cassie was half of Diddys age when he met her - I’m never gonna sit here and say someone participated in this mess. Clearly Diddy was abusing both of these women. Saying she played a part or in any way deserved this because of the way a grown ass man manipulated her. Y’all love to be like “oh she was an adult” - 37 yo men don’t come after 19 yo girls because they love their maturity and adult conversation. It’s because young women are easy to manipulate and control. He was doing sick shit to KP then turning around and beating and pimping out Cassie. Y’all got the nerve to blame either??? He obviously created this dynamic so these women could not find allyship in each other. Abusive parents do the same thing - but we don’t say one kid deserved it because of how their parent pitted them against the other kids. Saying Cassie got her just due because a sick asshole 18 years her senior abused her differently then he abused Kim Porter is crazy. No wonder she didn’t say shit for 8 years.

I always believed every word she said - I also believe she was culpable in staying in that relationship accepting the abuse as long as it was beneficial for her - she said so herself - she didn't go public until he refused to pay her off ( bad decision on his part) in the end the public knows how horrific diddy treats women - she got her $50M or whatever it ended up to be and the entire world of abuse of women by powerful men takes a huge hit

To answer both questions: 1. A person keeps someone around they are mad at to beat them because it isn’t about being mad, it’s about power over them. Power turn folks like that on. 2. The reason a victim doesn’t leave is because they are mentally trapped. Before the beatings start, the mental abuse starts.
