The focus on the fact that Cassie stayed with Diddy for more than 10 years just highlights how little people understand the dynamics of both abuse and power imbalances.
Cassandra Ventura was barely 21 when she became involved with Sean Combs(Diddy) who was 38 at the time. She was a new artist who was under contract with his label, Bad Boy, and he was a millionaire music mogul with more than 20 years in the game with countless connections, and the power to make or break her.
And he definitely tried to break her, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
There’s nothing at all wrong with having questions, but asking “Why didn’t she leave?” is not even remotely the same as asking “What factors prevented her from leaving?”
