Kesha publicly voiced her support for Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura on Wednesday following the shocking split verdict at her ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs seven-week federal criminal trial.
‘Cassie, I believe you,’ the 38-year-old pop star – who boasts 43.1M social media followers – tweeted. ‘I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.’
It’s been two years since Kesha (last name Sebert) settled her nine-year legal battle against her former producer Dr. Luke – whom she accused of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse as well as workplace discrimination (all of which he denied).
The two-time Grammy nominee also parted ways with the 51-year-old Grammy nominee’s (born Łukasz Sebastian Gottwald) Kemosabe Label as well as RCA Records and Vector Management.
The disgraced 55-year-old rap mogul was facing life in prison before a jury of eight men and four women found him not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
However, Diddy was found guilty on two counts of the Mann Act aka transportation for the purposes of prostitution for flying paid escorts around the country for his baby oil-drenched sex orgies dubbed ‘freak offs.’

Both Cassie and ‘Jane Doe’ – who testified at the trial – submitted letters to US District Judge Arun Subramanian requesting the three-time Grammy winner remain held at MDC Brooklyn’s Special Housing Unit before his sentencing, which he granted Wednesday evening.
Diddy – who’s already been incarcerated for 10 months – faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, but prosecutors hope the sentence is at least 51 months (4.25 years).

But some legal experts are predicting the Harlem-born hip-hop star will face far less time – as little as 18 and 24 months.
The 38-year-old mother-of-three was only 19 when the then 36-year-old Diddy signed her to a 10-album deal under his Bad Boy Records label in 2005, none of which were released, and they eventually ended their on/off 11-year relationship in 2018.
It wasn’t until 2023 when Cassie filed a lawsuit alleging rape, abuse, and sex trafficking – which the single father-of-seven quickly settled for an undisclosed amount.
Diddy defiantly denied all the charges until CNN leaked a video of him last year violently assaulting the former R&B singer at the InterContinental Century City back in 2016.
On August 28, Cassie and her personal trainer-turned-husband Alex ‘Poonie’ Fine will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary, and they’re proud parents of daughters Frankie, 5; Sunny, 4; and a one-month-old son.
