Cassie Spotted in Good Spirits Amidst Diddy’s Arrest and Denial of Bail
In a recent sighting, Cassie, the 38-year-old artist, was seen out and about in New York City, flashing a huge smile as she showed her friends something on her phone. This comes as a welcome distraction for the singer, who has been dealing with a tumultuous year following the filing of her rape and trafficking lawsuit against Diddy in November 2023 and the release of footage showing him assaulting her.
TMZ obtained footage of Cassie heading to dinner at Left Bank on Wednesday, September 18. She was seen leaving the restaurant, getting into a car, and entering an apartment building. When asked about Diddy’s recent arrest and denial of bail, Cassie remained tight-lipped, not offering any comments.
Fans of Cassie had not seen or heard from her since May, when she shared a statement about the footage of Diddy assaulting her in a hotel in 2016. In her post, Cassie expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support she had received, stating, "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. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past."
Meanwhile, Diddy, also known as Sean "Diddy" Combs, is facing the consequences of his alleged heinous actions. He was arrested this week for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, kidnapping, arson, and more. Despite proposing a bail plan that included paying $50 million, handing over his and his family’s passports, and staying put in one residence, the bail was denied.
Diddy’s legal team maintains his innocence, stating, "We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. attorney’s office." They describe him as a "music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist" who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.
As the legal proceedings continue, Cassie’s renewed visibility is a welcome sight for fans who have been following her journey. The singer’s determination to spread awareness about domestic violence is a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting survivors and holding perpetrators accountable.
