The singer, who endured her own years-long legal battle, stands in solidarity with Cassie Ventura in a powerful show of support
Just hours after a New York jury cleared Sean “Diddy” Combs of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Kesha took to social media with a heartfelt message for Cassie Ventura—the woman whose testimony was at the center of the trial.
“Cassie, I believe you. I love you,” Kesha wrote on X (formerly Twitter). She added, “Your strength is a beacon for every survivor,” a sentiment that quickly went viral as fans and fellow artists echoed her words.
The post comes in the wake of a harrowing court case where Cassie detailed years of alleged abuse at the hands of Combs, including being coerced into participating in his notorious “freak off” parties. While Diddy denied all allegations, he was ultimately convicted on two lesser charges involving the illegal transportation of women for illicit purposes—offenses that could carry up to 20 years in prison.
For Kesha, the moment carries a deeply personal weight. The pop star spent nearly a decade entangled in her own legal battle after accusing producer Dr. Luke of sexual abuse—a case that shook the music industry and ended in 2023 with an out-of-court settlement. She’s been candid about how the ordeal affected her mental health, career, and artistry, and is now preparing to release her first fully independent album, Period, signaling a new chapter of creative freedom.
Meanwhile, Cassie—who recently welcomed her third child with husband Alex Fine—has remained relatively quiet since testifying. Her lawyers, however, released a statement praising her courage: “Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice. This case has shown that change is necessary, and we will continue advocating for survivors everywhere.”
As two women who’ve navigated the treacherous intersection of fame, power, and abuse, Kesha and Cassie’s connection—even from afar—feels like more than just solidarity. It’s a reminder that speaking out still matters, even in an industry that too often protects the powerful.
