An Open Letter to Sean “Diddy” Combs

Diddy, you need to read this and fix your life.

Dear Diddy,

The video of you assaulting Cassie like she stole money from you was horrible, beyond horrible. It‘s the reason why women are choosing the bear in the woods. Men like you are a threat to women’s lives. Women can’t trust men anymore to be there for us, protect and support us.

I felt for Cassie as that video played for the world to see. She had to relive that beating. She had to feel that pain again. Cassie has been silent after the video’s release, her attorney speaking for her. Her attorney had a lot to say, and it wasn’t pleasant. I’m sure you’ve already heard her attorney’s words.

Your apology felt false. There were no words directed towards Cassie. She was the victim, but you didn’t address that in the video. The apology appeared performative. We know you have acting experience, and your apology felt scripted. Are you sorry for what you did to Cassie? Or are you trying to save your reputation? The video destroyed that.

Diddy, you need to disappear. You need help. Seek therapy. Seek God. Seek something that allows you to undergo deep reflection and introspection. Your life is a mess, hurting others — especially women. Your actions triggered a lot of people and brought back memories many of us didn’t want to relive.
