Cassie Ventura Breaks Silence on Domestic Violence Allegations Against Sean Combs: 'Healing Journey Is Never Ending'

Cassie Ventura, a singer and former girlfriend of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, has spoken out for the first time since a 2016 video showing him physically assaulting her was released. In statements on Instagram and in interviews with various media outlets, Ventura expressed her gratitude for the support she has received from friends, family, and fans. She also shared her experiences with domestic violence and encouraged others to believe victims.

Ventura filed a civil lawsuit against Combs in November 2023, alleging rape, physical abuse, and sex trafficking over the course of their relationship. The lawsuit was settled shortly after it was filed. Since then, several other women have come forward with similar allegations against Combs.

The 2016 video shows Combs kicking, grabbing, dragging, and throwing a glass vase at Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. In the statement she posted on Instagram on May 23, Ventura wrote that 'Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become.' She went on to thank her supporters and encourage others to speak out.

Ventura's lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor, released a statement confirming that the video confirmed Combs' disturbing and predatory behavior. Roger Bonds, who served on Combs' security staff from 2003 to 2012, witnessed Combs being violent with women around four or five times during his tenure. Crystals McKinney sued Combs for sexual assault in March 2023.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security conducted searches of Combs' Holmby Hills and Miami mansions as part of a federal inquiry into sex trafficking allegations involving Combs.

Despite the allegations against him, Combs has denied any wrongdoing and apologized for his actions in the 2016 video. Ventura's statement on Instagram did not mention Combs by name, but she encouraged others to 'open your heart to believing victims the first time.' She also noted that 'this healing journey is never ending.'

The appeal to authority occurs when Ben Brafman, Combs' attorney, is quoted stating that Combs denies the allegations and that his decision to settle does not admit wrongdoing. Additionally, Ventura's and Combs' statements are presented as authoritative sources despite their conflicting nature.

Cassie Speaks Out After Release of Diddy Assault Video: “No One Should Carry This Weight Alone”

Entertainment Variety Tv Site: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv-site/ Jackie Strause Friday, 24 May 2024 02:36

    • Cassie Ventura accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of physically assaulting her in 2016.
    • Cassie filed a civil lawsuit against Combs, Bad Boy Records, and Sony Music in November 2021 accusing him of rape, physical abuse, and sex trafficking.

    • Cassie Ventura sued Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for alleged assault and abuse in November 2023.
    • Security footage from 2016 showed Combs kicking, grabbing, dragging and throwing a glass vase at Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel.
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author makes several statements expressing sympathy and support for Cassie, but these are not fallacies as they do not contain any false or misleading information. The author also reports facts about the case, such as the release of the assault video and the statute of limitations for prosecution. However, there is one instance of an appeal to authority when the author states that 'The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office had been aware of the footage and while they called the video “extremely disturbing,” they said they were unable to prosecute due to the statute of limitations for a crime of assault.' This statement implies that the inability to prosecute is an objective fact, but it is actually a judgment call made by law enforcement. Therefore, this statement contains an appeal to authority fallacy.
    • The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office had been aware of the footage and while they called the video ‘extremely disturbing,’ they said they were unable to prosecute due to the statute of limitations for a crime of assault.
