Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura "feels at peace" as controversies continuously bombard the embattled rap mogul's life.
Bombshell revelations have come out over the past months before and after the release of the 2016 video footage showing Combs assaulting Ventura. While the embattled rap mogul's future has unceasingly become affected by the revelations, Ventura reportedly "feels at peace" while focusing on her family.
A source spoke to Us Weekly regarding Ventura's status after releasing the revelations against Combs. According to the insider, the "Long Way 2 Go" singer has been spending most of her time with her family on the East Coast.
Ventura and her husband, Alex Fine, are reportedly enjoying their time while the "Miss Your Touch" singer focuses on "raising her daughters [while] taking a break from working in the industry."
"Cassie used to be caught up in the hustle and bustle of the industry and wants nothing to do with that now," the insider added.
The news came after CNN released an exclusive video footage on May 17 showing Combs assaulting Ventura while they were at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. In the clip, the Bad Boy Records founder was seen repeatedly kicking, dragging and showing his then-girlfriend when she attempted to leave the hotel room.
Combs and Ventura had an on-again, off-again relationship between 2007 and 2018. The "Me & U" hitmaker later filed a lawsuit against the embattled rap mogul and accused him of physical and sexual abuse throughout their relationship.
They settled the lawsuit a day after it was filed.
According to former FBI special agent Tracy Walder, the video made Combs settle things with Ventura quickly.
"Diddy never expected the video to get out. It's very upsetting that this has exceeded its statute of limitations," Walder explained to People. "It does depend on what the charge could be, but it can range from one to three years. Felony assaults in California have a statute of limitations of three years."
The former CIA special agent added, "Since this stemmed from a 2016 incident, she wouldn't be able to file assault or battery charges in Los Angeles. It really throws water on Diddy and his legal team's argument that the government used too much force in his search warrants."
Combs released an apology video on May 19, which only attracted more criticism.
