Kesha & Aubrey O’Day Support Cassie Following Diddy Verdict

Kesha backed Cassie after Sean “Diddy” Combs was convicted of prostitution-related charges but cleared of sex trafficking.

Kesha threw her support behind Cassie after a New York jury found Diddy guilty of transporting women for prostitution but cleared him of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, including those tied to Cassie’s allegations.

The pop singer took to X shortly after the verdict, writing, “Cassie, I believe you. I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.”

Kesha, who once referenced Combs in her 2010 hit “Tik Tok,” has since changed the lyric “feeling like P. Diddy” to “f**k P. Diddy” during live performances following the public surfacing of abuse claims in late 2023.

Diddy, 55, was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and two sex trafficking charges, one of which stemmed from Cassie’s lawsuit.

However, jurors convicted him on two counts of transporting women across state lines for prostitution based on accusations from Cassie and another former partner.

Aubrey O’Day, who rose to fame under Combs’ guidance on MTV’s Making the Band in 2005, also spoke out. On Instagram, she called the outcome “heartbreaking” and said, “My heart is with Cassie.

A woman who could’ve had a life and career free of fear and control. A woman who told her truth in a courtroom, only to have the world dissect her credibility instead of her courage.”

Cassie, born Casandra Ventura, testified over four days while pregnant, becoming a central witness in the trial.

Though she has not released a personal statement, her attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, said she “initiated the criminal investigation into Mr. Combs by filing her lawsuit in late 2023” and helped lead to his conviction on the prostitution-related charges.

Diddy remains in custody and has been denied bail. His sentencing is scheduled for October 3.
