P Diddy might be biting his knuckles in jail, now that filmmaker dream hampton’s interview withRolling Stonewent viral. According to the 54-year-old executive producer of the 2019 documentary seriesSurviving R. Kelly,Diddy was apparently warned against making the same move of denying domestic abuse allegations as Johnny Depp.
Considering how renowned stars like Johnny Depp and Russell Simmons, prior to P Diddy were held accountable for domestic violence, where they denied the accusations—dream hampton had allegedly warned the rapper against taking the same step when Cassie Ventura sued him. But sadly, Diddy’s lawyers denied the allegations, and later on, he was accused in six more separate suits of s*xual assault.
dream hampton had warned P Diddy against denying assault allegations
Back whenP Diddywas sued by his former artist and girlfriend, the R&B singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, filmmaker dream hampton had tried being a guiding light for the disgraced rapper. Considering how the 54-year-old executive producer has been vocal about patriarchy, politics, and sexism in the industry, she tried convincing Diddy to accept the accusations.

According to her interview withRolling Stone, dream hampton firmly believed that P Diddy was absolutely capable of abusing Cassie Ventura. Claiming that men never beat their partners in public, hampton admitted to never witnessing Diddy’s rough side. However, she still believed that the rapper was capable of something so heinous, even before the tape of him physically abusing Ventura went viral.
I reached out to him because I know that I’m someone that he’ll listen to. And I said, ‘Puff, I’m not trying to Olivia Pope you at all, [but] I think that you’re done and that it’s time to tap out.’ She was around [them both], but men don’t beat their partners in front of you.
What you need to do, what we need…What we’ve needed really, since Mike Tyson raped Desiree Washington, is one of y’all mtherfckers to just say, ‘I did this. And I’m going to spend the rest of my life, and that includes financial restitution, trying to make this right.’
Believing in P Diddy’s faith in her, dream hampton noted reaching out to the rapper when things initially went downhill with Cassie Ventura. Explaining the gravity of the situation and the possible outcome, the 54-year-old tried convincing Diddy to accept his mistakes. Further, feeling like she might not have been clear enough in their conversation, hampton even left him a voice note.
dream hampton had urged P Diddy to break the cycle unlike Johnny Depp
Sending text messages and voice notes, dream hampton told the outlet how she pleaded with P Diddy to take accountability for his actions. Instead of denying Cassie Ventura’s accusations, the 54-year-old had urged the rapper to break the cycle previously established by several men. UsingJohnny Deppand Russell Simmons’ examples where the celebrities denied accusations of domestic violence against their partners, hampton had asked Diddy not to do the same.
I was like, this is a Sisyphean struggle that women are involved in. The so-called Me Too movement, the rock is coming down. And this whole Johnny Depp, Russell Simmons, deny, deny, deny?
That’s not even an option for you, Puff. Nobody is going to believe you. You’re loathed already. So you actually have an opportunity here to enter into a different paradigm.
Unfortunately, after P Diddy was accused byCassie Venturaof various acts of s*xual assault and violence, his lawyer had denied her allegations as “offensive and outrageous”. Thereafter, although the rapper settled the case with Ventura for an undisclosed sum of money, within a day since her suit was filed, Diddy refrained from taking accountability until the video of him assaulting his partner was obtained by CNN.

Thereafter, although P Diddy publicly admitted his wrongdoing, it was already too late, much like dream hampton had presumed. Soon the rapper was accused in six more separate suits of s*xual assault. He was alleged to be a serial predator by several people,his freakoff partiescame to the limelight and the Department of Homeland Security raided his Miami and Los Angeles homes in an investigation.
