The father of Kim Porter spoke out about the video of her ex, Diddy, brutally abusing Cassie Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel back in 2016.
In an interview published with Rolling Stone on Friday, Jake Porter shared that, like so many of us, he was extremely “disgusted” by the shocking surveillance footage released last month that backed the allegations she made in a now-settled lawsuit. He told the outlet:
“You can say I was disgusted with the video, and I wouldn’t treat my enemy like that. It was despicable. I couldn’t believe it. I was in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t do that to my enemy.”

Although Jake never witnessed Diddy physically harming Kim before her sudden death from pneumonia in 2018, he now cannot help but “wonder” what she possibly experienced behind closed doors in light of the assault toward Cassie. Sadly, we’ve heard about the alleged abuse Kim suffered at the hands of Diddy in the wake of the video. The musician’s former bodyguard previously claimed he saw him attacking women “around for or five times,” including Kim and Cassie. Awful. Two sources claimed to Rolling Stone last month that Diddy physically abused Kim. Former Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry even told the outlet:
“I remember Kim used to go through a lot of stuff. If you live around them, you get to see the toxic relationship.… I think every relationship he had that I experienced around him was like that.”
Jeez. We cannot imagine how hard it must be for the father to have so many unanswered questions about what happened to Kim. One thing Jake does know, though, is that he has a “different outlook” on the rapper, who is being sued for similar claims of abuse, assault, and trafficking. The 78-year-old dad added:
“I didn’t know he could stoop that low. I imagine it surprised a lot of people. I wouldn’t even do a dog like that. My heart goes out to Cassie.”
According to Rolling Stone, Jake declined to answer many questions about the situation. However, he did mention that Kim genuinely loved Diddy. For those who don’t know, the model and the music mogul dated on and off from 1994 to 2007. Kim ended things with Diddy for good when she found out he fathered a secret child while she was pregnant with their twin daughters. While the actress loved Diddy during their relationship, her dad noted she “just couldn’t live with” the Bad Boy Records founder in the same house in the end:
“I think he was a very jealous person. They both loved each other. Kim’s love was legitimate. Puffy’s love, I don’t know what he calls love, you know what I mean? I really don’t think he has any idea what love is.”
