It's been days since P. Diddy released his widely criticized apology video in which he takes responsibility for assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016. While many have weighed in on Diddy's apology for the fight, Cassie stay mum So far.
On her Instagram page, Cassie shared a statement thanking everyone for their support after the video was posted, but stopped short of talking about Diddy himself or the apology. Writing about the situation at hand, Cassie was keen to state that domestic violence is 'THE issue' facing many women across the board and spoke about how it has affected her personal existence saying: 'It broke me down into someone I never thought I'd be. that I will be. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always recover from my past.”
Offering some advice to anyone in a similar situation as she was when she was terrorized by 'Brother Love', Cassie added: 'I offer my hand to those still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don't cut them off. No one should carry this burden alone. The healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thanks. Love always, Cassie.”
You just know Diddy somewhere is wondering why his apology wasn't met with the same love and support as Cassie's statement.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out why P. Diddy's video was met with such disdain, as many recall that Cassie's original lawsuit against him not only accused him of physical violence, but also forced her to be intimate with other men while watching , among many other things. It was pretty disturbing stuff.
While Diddy remained defiant and maintained his innocence (even after an immediate court settlement), the release of the video of him kicking and dragging Cassie was the nail in the coffin for what was left of his reputation and even his career.
