I need to rant bc these horrible takes on Cassie are bothering me so bad; this woman was groomed at a young age by a powerful music mogul who made false promises of helping her music career, only to deliberately trap her in a contract while he romantically pursued her. He love bombed her, introduced her to deviant sex acts she’d never done before, fed her an endless supply of drugs, and coerced her into being sex trafficked and an accomplice to his criminal network. He isolated her from all her relationships, began funding her lifestyle while throttling her attempts of her finding any success of her own (to keep her dependent on him), and introduced torture, abuse and assault into their relationship as it progressed. Every time she would attempt to leave or cut ties, he would savagely beat her or send his handlers to find her. There was no escape, and eventually the lifestyle he indoctrinated her into become normal for her — the same way victims experience Stockholm syndrome. (Keep in mind this relationship spanned over a decade of her life) She even admits it wasn’t until she sought trauma therapy that she began to understand the severity of her situation. Not to mention there is literal video evidence of him savagely beating her during one of the times she tried to leave him.
Anyone who has been in, or understands the complexity of abusive relationships, also isn’t shocked by her admission that she willingly kept going back to him or that she loved him. That doesn’t make her any less of a victim, nor does it make her a willing participant because she became conditioned to the abuse.
The idea that this woman shouldn’t have sought financial compensation for the years of physical and mental torture he put her through in order to be believed is also delusional. Him settling her lawsuit within 24 hours was already evidence of his guilt.
Anyone that doesn’t view her as a victim is devoid of empathy or is a predator themselves. Point blank.
I commend Cassie so much for her bravery. She was the catalyst to finally taking down this serial predator, and the fact she’s even testifying against him while 8 months pregnant and after already collecting her settlement is admirable. I’m thinking of all the victims she saved by finally putting that monster behind bars. God bless.

Keke Palmer says Ryan Murphy called her unprofessional and ‘ripped into her’ after she didn’t show up on set for ‘Scream Queens’ during her day-off:
“He was like, ‘I’ve never seen you behave like this. I can’t believe that you, out of all people, would do something like this.’”
