Dream Hampton Speaks Out About Diddy’s Assault Allegations: ‘I’m Just Angry At Him’

“Surviving R. Kelly” executive producer Dream Hampton has addressed Sean “Diddy” Combs over multiple assault allegations.

The music journalist commented on the hip-hop mogul’s alleged crimes in the course of the premiere of her recent documentary “It Was All a Dream” on the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Sunday, June 9.

“I’m just mad at him for having to talk about it or being asked about it,” she said People on the SVA Theater. Hampton added that she has “no idea” whether Diddy might be held accountable for his alleged actions, claiming that the trial is “all ongoing.”

Multiple people have accused Diddy of sexual assault in several lawsuits since his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023. Cassie has accused Diddy of diverse crimes, including rape, trafficking people for sexual purposes, and physical abuse.

In May, CNN released surveillance video of Diddy kicking, dragging and humiliating Ventura on the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles – actions that match the allegations made against him by the singer as a part of a lawsuit that has since been settled. The disgraced hip-hop mogul apologized for his behavior on the time, saying it was “hard to remember the darkest moments in life.”

“Sometimes you have to do it,” he continued. “I used to be screwed up. I mean, I’ve hit all-time low, but I’m not making excuses. My behavior on this video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions on this video. Indignant. I used to be disgusted then after I did it, and I’m disgusted now.”

Ventura responded to the video’s release in an Instagram post, writing: “Domestic violence is the BEST problem. It broke me and made me into someone I never thought I might develop into. Thanks to lots of exertions, I’m higher today, but I’ll all the time get better from the past.

Hampton’s 2019 Lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” during which R. Kelly’s victims shared their stories of sexual and physical abuse, reignited conversations in regards to the singer’s behavior. A month after the show premiered, R. Kelly “was indicted by a grand jury on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse against four alleged victims,” ​​in accordance with People.

He was later found guilty of several charges, including child pornography, and sentenced to 31 years in prison.
