In a fiery sermon, Bishop T.D. Jakes publicly condemned Sean “Diddy” Combs
following the release of a disturbing video showing Diddy abusing his ex-girlfriend
Cassie. The footage, which depicts Diddy violently attacking Cassie in a Los
Angeles hotel, has sparked widespread outrage. Jakes, a longtime spiritual advisor
to Diddy, expressed his anger and disappointment, highlighting the degrading
nature of the actions captured in the video. He urged those with uncontrollable
rage or mental health issues to seek help, drawing on his personal experiences and
interactions with Diddy.

Jakes’s condemnation marks a significant break from his past support for the
hip-hop mogul. The bishop’s critique extended beyond the abuse incident, hinting
at long-standing issues Diddy shared with him in confidence. This public disavowal
has resonated with many, as Jakes emphasized the impact of such behavior on
families and communities. The backlash against Diddy has been intense, with
former fans and supporters, including Jakes, distancing themselves.

The sermon has revitalized Jakes’s church attendance, reflecting the community’s
support for his stance against domestic abuse. This situation has left Diddy
isolated, facing criticism from all sides, with even his closest confidants turning
away. The unfolding scandal underscores the urgent need for accountability and
support for abuse victims.
