“I wept because, despite #Cassie having been in my consciousness for nearly 2 decades, this was the first time I saw #CasandraVentura. Ventura was only 19 yrs old when #SeanCombs ‘discovered’ her in 2005 & signed her to his label, Bad Boy. When they officially began dating—after rumors of a long pursuit—she was 21, & he was a 38-yr-old man.
“I wept because no one, including myself, had thought this relationship was weird.
