P. Diddy’s victim: Cassie breaks her silence after punishment.

“Even if nothing can undo the trauma caused by Combs, the judgment imposed today recognizes the effects of the serious crimes he committed,” said Cassie’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor on the day of the punishment “”. “We are confident that Ms. Ventura will continue her healing process with the support of her family and friends – knowing that their bravery and steadfastness were an inspiration for so many,” it continues.

Sean Combs, as P. Diddy is called with a bourgeois name, was sentenced to 50 months in prison last Friday. The punishment was followed by his conviction in July after two charges for “promoting prostitution”. One of the once most powerful men in the music industry was acquitted of the heavier allegations such as protection.

Cassie, who was in diddy from 2007 to 2018, played a central role in the process. For four days, she described in tears of how she had become a victim of physical and sexual violence during the relationship. Her statements about the so -called “freak offs”, excessive sex parties, were particularly stressful, in which Diddy had hired according to Cassie Escorts. “The Freak Offs became a job where there was no room to do something else except to recover and just try to feel normal,” she said in court. She reported that these parties would have taken between 36 hours and four days and that sex with strangers included drugs and alcohol.

In November 2023, Cassie had already submitted a civil lawsuit against Combs, with severe allegations: abuse, rape, years of control. Only a day later there was an out -of -court settlement. Diddy paid her $ 20 million. But the case did not let go of her. When CNN published a surveillance video half a year later that did not brutally attack Cassie in a hotel, the public outrage and the video finally became part of the process.

Shortly before the verdict, Cassie turned to judge Arun Subramanian in a moving letter. “If I have learned one from this experience, then that victims and survivors are never really safe,” she wrote. “Even if I can hope for justice and responsibility, I learned not to trust anyone. I hope that your decision takes into account the truths that the jury did not want to see.”

The fear remains, she says. “I still have nightmares and flashbacks regularly and continue to need psychological care to get my past,” says your letter. “I actually pulled my family out of the New York area and keep my life as private and calm as possible because I am so much afraid that if he is free, he will practice retaliation on me and others who spoke about his abuse during the process. Courage had to say the truth. “

Cassie ended her letter with an appeal to the judiciary: “I hope that her decision in punishment reflects the strength that Sean Combs’ victims had to raise.

While the judgment now writes legal history, Cassie himself remains quiet, at least public. On her Instagram account, on which she otherwise shows music, family and fashion, there is no word about the process.
