Misa Hylton, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend and mother to one of his kids, has broken her silence following the release of a disturbing surveillance video showing the music mogul physically assaulting Cassie Ventura.
Hylton, who shares 30-year-old son Justin Combs with Combs, took to Instagram to address the issue and express her deep concern.
Posting two images of all seven of Diddy’s children, Hylton revealed her heartbreak and called for the rapper to seek help.
“I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma,” she wrote.
The fashion icon and life coach, who also has two children with ex-husband Jojo Brim, emphasized the collective effort of the mothers of Diddy’s children to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for them.
“These young people were raised by women that want the best for them – we put God and education first and have always been united in our mutual effort to support their dreams. Two of the youngest do not have their mother here and it has been our duty to support them.”
“Their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it,” she concluded.
The disturbing video in question surfaced last week and sparked widespread condemnation and prompted Diddy, 54, to issue a public apology. In a video statement, Combs admitted to hitting rock bottom and expressed his remorse.
“My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,” he said in a video statement posted on Instagram.
“I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” he added. “I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry
