Dee Barnes Condemns Diddy’s Assault on Cassie: “Disgusting Behavior”

Dee Barnes, a prominent figure in the hip-hop community, has once again spoken out against domestic abuse following the release of security footage showing Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Barnes, who herself was a victim of assault by Dr. Dre in 1991, took to social media to express her shock and horror at the video.

In a post on X, Barnes described the footage as “extremely triggering” and recounted her own experience of being punched, slammed, kicked, and stomped by Dr. Dre. She announced her decision to log off social media due to the widespread exposure of the video, but later returned to voice her support for Cassie and condemn Diddy’s actions.

Barnes called out Diddy for his “disgusting” behavior and expressed her solidarity with Cassie, Kim Porter, and all other victims of his violent abuse. This comes in the wake of Diddy’s public apology, which has been met with criticism and skepticism.

Barnes, who has been a vocal advocate for survivors of domestic abuse, also reflected on Dr. Dre’s past apology in 2015, stating that she hopes he truly means it. Despite the apologies from both Diddy and Dr. Dre, Barnes remains vigilant in holding abusers accountable for their actions.

As a survivor herself, Dee Barnes continues to use her platform to raise awareness and support victims of domestic abuse in the hip-hop industry. Her bravery and unwavering advocacy serve as a beacon of hope for those who have experienced similar trauma.
