Challenges of Seeking Justice for Assault Victims and the Importance of Speaking Up

Note: This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence. 

Outrage has rippled through the entertainment industry ever since CNN exclusively obtained disturbing surveillance video showing Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016. After initially denying the incident and others alleged ever happened, Diddy apologized for his actions in the video. In this episode, we explore why many say the apology falls short and look at how the case fits into the wider #MeToo movement. 

Guest: Elizabeth Wagmeister, CNN Entertainment Correspondent  

If you or someone you know is struggling with intimate partner violence, there are resources available, including the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
