Diddy’s Plan to Counsel Abuse Victims Slammed by Cassie’s Lawyer as “Manipulation at its Best”

In a move that has stunned many, the embattled music mogul is reportedly proposing a “redemption arc” that would see him mentoring others who have committed abuse. Sources suggest this strategy is part of his legal team’s effort to secure a more lenient outcome following his recent federal conviction.

“Utterly Preposterous”: Cassie’s Attorney Responds

The proposal has been met with sharp criticism, most notably from Douglas Wigdor, the attorney representing Combs’ ex-partner, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. In a powerful statement to Rolling Stone, Wigdor did not mince words.

“This is utterly preposterous,” Wigdor stated. “How are you going to counsel someone else when you haven’t done the work on yourself? This is manipulation at its best.”

Wigdor’s comments underscore the sentiment shared by many of Sean Combs‘ accusers: that the counseling pitch is a calculated performance rather than a genuine effort at rehabilitation.

“It’s a mockery of the system. It’s a mockery of everyone he’s harmed,” Wigdor added, emphasizing that Combs himself is in need of “intensive therapy.”

Conviction and Disturbing Video Evidence

The controversy follows a series of damning events for the hip-hop icon:

• Federal Conviction: In July, Combs was found guilty of violating the Mann Act, a federal law prohibiting the transport of individuals across state lines for illicit sexual purposes.
• Disturbing Hotel Footage: The conviction came after the release of shocking 2016 surveillance video, obtained by CNN, which showed Combs physically assaulting Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.
• Multiple Lawsuits: Combs is facing numerous civil lawsuits from various individuals alleging sexual assault, trafficking, and other serious abuses.

For the victims and their legal teams, Combs’ attempt to position himself as a mentor for abusers is seen not as a sign of remorse, but as a final, desperate attempt to control the narrative and mitigate the consequences of his actions. As the date for his sentencing approaches, the world watches to see if this controversial strategy will influence the court’s decision.
