Cassie’s
social
media
message
comes
less
than
a
week
after
CNN
released
a
video,
which
E!
News
has
not
independently
verified,
in
which
Diddy
can
be
seen
pulling
Cassie
to
the
ground
and
kicking
her
multiple
times,
with
later
footage
showing
him
throwing
an
object
at
her.
“Thank
you
for
all
the
love
and
support
from
my
family,
friends,
strangers,
and
those
I
have
yet
to
meet,”
Cassie,
37,
who
dated
Diddy
on
and
off
for
more
than
a
decade
starting
in
2007,
wrote
in
her
May
23
post. “The
outpouring
of
love
has
created
a
place
for
my
younger
self
to
settle
and
feel
safe
now,
but
this
is
only
the
beginning.
Domestic
Violence
is
THE
issue.
It
broke
me
down
to
someone
I
never
thought
I
would
become.”
And
the “Long
Way
2
Go”
singer—who
shares
daughters
Frankie,
4,
and
Sunny,
2,
with
husband
Alex
Fine—continued, “My
only
ask
is
that
EVERYONE
open
your
heart
to
believing
victims
the
first
time.
It
takes
a
lot
of
heart
to
tell
the
truth
out
of
a
situation
that
you
were
powerless
in.”
Last
November,
Cassie
filed
a
lawsuit
against
the
music
mogul accusing
him
of
rape
and
abuse,
with
her
describing
a
2016
incident
at
a
hotel
matching
what
the
surveillance
video
shows.
Diddy—who
had
denied
Cassie’s
allegations
and
settled
her
lawsuit
the
day
after
it
was
filed—also
released
a
response
to
the
newly
released
CNN
footage
May
19.
“It’s
so
difficult
to
reflect
on
the
darkest
times
in
your
life,
but
sometimes
you
got
to
do
that,”
he
said
in
an
Instagram
video. “I
was
f–ked
up.
I
hit
rock
bottom.
But
I
make
no
excuses.
My
behavior
on
that
video
is
inexcusable.
I
take
full
responsibility
for
my
actions
in
that
video.”
The
54-year-old
added, “I
was
disgusted
then
when
I
did
it.
I’m
disgusted
now.
I
went
and
I
sought
out
professional
help.
Had
to
go
into
therapy,
go
into
rehab.
Had
to
ask
God
for
His
mercy
and
grace.
I’m
so
sorry.
But
I’m
committed
to
be
a
better
man
each
and
every
day.
I’m
not
asking
for
forgiveness.
I’m
truly
sorry.”

legal
troubles
currently
facing
Diddy.
