On May 17, CNN released shocking video footage of Sean “Diddy” Combs physically attacking his former girlfriend and label artist, Cassie Ventura. In the video, Combs is seen chasing Ventura down the corridor of a hotel. He also dragged her by her hair and repeatedly punched and kicked her.
Since the video was released, the Bad Boy Founder has faced a substantial amount of backlash. Including from his friends and loved ones. Misa Hylton, whom Diddy shares child Justin Combs with, is the latest person to sound off on the situation. Hylton says she is “heartbroken” by the viral video because it takes her back to a darker time in her life.
Misa Hylton Gets Candid About Cassie, Diddy Video
“I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma,” Hylton said.
“These young people were raised by women who want the best for them – we put God and education first and have always been united in our mutual effort to support their dreams/. Two of the youngest do not have their mother here and it has been our duty to support them.”
Hylton also emphasized that Diddy’s needs help for him to be fully rehabilitated.
“Their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it,” she added.
Justin’s Combs’ Mom Slams Feds After Home Raid
That is not the only legal trouble the star producer is in. Combs is also the subject of a sex trafficking investigation. And the raid of his home in Miami is still pretty alarming. In the screenshots of the video, you can see closets have been ransacked and military-grade weapons drawn on Diddy’s sons. Hylton called the search “deplorable,” and accused authorities of doing so knowing that Diddy was not there.
“The overzealous and overtly militarized force used against my son and his brother Christian — who I consider a second son — is deplorable,” she said in a statement.
“Those agents knew Puff wasn’t in the home. Did Justin need several laser beam gun sights pointed at his chest??? Did Christian need a high-powered assault rifle pointed at the back of his head from inches away while he was handcuffed???”
