Former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, Suzi Siegel, recently spoke out about her experience working with the music mogul. During an appearance on CNN, Siegel addressed the graphic surveillance footage that resurfaced showing Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
Siegel expressed that she was not surprised by Diddy’s behavior in the video and did not believe his apology. However, she also mentioned that during her time as his assistant from 2008 to 2009, she never witnessed any abusive behavior towards Ventura.
Despite not witnessing any abusive behavior firsthand, Siegel acknowledged the power dynamic in their relationship, especially considering Ventura was young and at the beginning of her career. She emphasized that while she never saw anything to corroborate the lawsuit allegations, she was not surprised by the recent revelations.
Diddy recently posted an Instagram video apologizing for his past actions, stating that he sought professional help and was committed to being a better man. The video came after Ventura filed a lawsuit against Diddy for sexual and physical abuse, which was later settled.
The news of Diddy’s past behavior has sparked conversations about domestic violence, with resources like the National Domestic Violence Hotline being shared for those in need of support. Additionally, federal law enforcement raided Diddy’s homes as part of a sex trafficking investigation, adding another layer to the ongoing story.
