D. Woods, former member of Diddy’s girl group Danity Kane is speaking out in support of Cassie following the bombshell lawsuit she filed against the music mogul.
In posts shared to both her Instagram and Twitter feed, D Woods said, “Self Worth, Peace of Mind and the Right to Speak your TRUTH…
Cassie @cassie You are incredibly brave to shine light on what you endured in the dark. I’m sorry you had to go through it alone. I’m praying for your continued strength and I offer my full support to you.”
Woods’ support comes shortly after fellow Danity Kane member Aubrey Oday also spoke out once news broke. The singer also spoke with Page Six and said Cassie has her “full support.”

More On The Claims Made By Cassie In Her New Lawsuit:
As we previously reported, Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, alleged in her filing that she was trafficked, raped, and viciously beaten by Diddy, real name Sean Combs, during the course of their relationship.
Detailing some of her experiences, Cassie alleged, Mr. Combs “raped Ms. Ventura in her own home after she tried to leave him; often punched, beat, kicked and stomped on Ms. Ventura, resulting in bruises, burst lips, black eye and bleeding; blew up a man’s car after he learned that he was romantically interested in Ms. Ventura; forced Ms. Ventura to engage in sex acts with male sex workers while masturbating and filming the encounters; ran out of his apartment with a firearm in pursuit of a rival industry executive whom he learned was nearby; demanded that Ms. Ventura carry his firearm in her purse just to make her uncomfortable and demonstrate how dangerous he is; and introduced Ms. Ventura to a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse and required her to procure illicit prescriptions to satisfy his own addictions.”
In an official statement, Cassie explained why she decided to speak out. “After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships. With the expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act fast approaching, it became clear that this was an opportunity to speak up about the trauma I have experienced and that I will be recovering from for the rest of my life.”
Combs’ attorney, Ben Brafman, has since stated on his client’s behalf, that the rapper “vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.”
The statement read,
“For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail,” Brafman’s statement said. “Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’ reputation and seeking a payday.”
