Singer Casandra Ventura said May 23 – in her first comments since video emerged of her being beaten by rap mogul and former partner Sean “Diddy” Combs – that domestic violence “broke” her.

In an Instagram post, Ventura did not mention Combs but her comments came a week after CNN broadcast hotel security footage from 2016 in which the hip-hop star apparently hits, drags and kicks her.
