I pray that she is protected and surrounded by trustworthy ppl. Speaking out takes a lot of courage

[KingAngelLife]

Diddy is not the only person in the industry assaulting artist. The entire music and entertainment industry is criminal. Hopefully this will give those that have been taken advantage of the strength to come forward. The adult survivor’s act need’s to be extended beyond this month.

It is nice to see Cassie’s friend show up for her as a real friend to support her and solidify the claims made in the lawsuit.

[Bronx-girl]

As a woman who survived molestation as a child, it’s so hard to come forward, especially when it’s someone with power, this is not a black thing, it’s disgusting that some ppl will say such. If he did what he is accused of doing he needs to rot in jail no matter what color he is.

My heart goes out to all of the girls and boys who were broken spiritually, mentally, and physically. May they get justice for all of their pain and suffering and P Diddy be held accountable

[tyeg.]

It is great that Cassie has a supportive friend. So many people have to process their trauma alone.

Thank you for reporting on this. I hope all Sean Combs’ victims find the strength, courage, and protection they need to come forward.

As a black man I stand with Cassie, Craig Mack, Tupac, Biggie, Kim and so many he's disrespected. I'm sorry it's about time that he got his just due!

When a accuser start talking on the News its coming to a end soon

[lelainerduh]

I’m glad people are speaking up, proud of her

[Candice-Tara]

We need to see interviews with all of the “Making the band” members

[AdrianLopez-rwpj]

He should be in prison for the rest of his life. Very sick person

[lovelylady]

I'm glad ppl are speaking out about such things.

[starfire]

This is how your "friends" should pull up about you ❤

[shandracrews]

MY HEART goes OUT to the one's that DIDN'T MAKE IT!!

[MsKimLorraine]

Thankful to see mainstream media reporting this and this young lady’s bravery 💜🙏🏾

[Slindo_M]

People who say “why now” don’t understand that you can’t tell people’s stories without their permission. And also as a victim, you can only have the courage to speak about your experiences once you’ve processed what has happened to you.

The fact it took so long for diddy to start getting some reality check is crazy.

[davidhull]

That’s really sad, evil & despicable what this man has done to do many individuals.

Good to actually see mainstream media is showing this. Having Money and fame shouldn’t be a get off jail card.
