Following Cassie’s shocking and disturbing sexual abuse allegations against Diddy last week, Revolt journalist Dawn Montgomery shared that she has no plans of renewing her contract with the media company.
Montgomery, who hosts Monuments to Me podcast, shared the news Monday on X. “FYI: I won’t be signing on to do the 3rd season of @revolttv’s Monuments To Me podcast,” she stated.
“I am a [sexual assault] survivor & I cannot be a part of a show that’s supposed to uplift black women while @Diddy leads the company. Believe Black women.”
She delved further into detail:
“I am grateful for how I was able to contribute to this show & work with w/my cohost Akilah! This was a wonderful opportunity brought to me by our producer, Darius, who saw that I needed to share more of my story & connect with w/the show’s audience. This isn’t a hard decision, and I’m okay. One thing I’ve done throughout my professional career(s) is be mindful of my work ethic and where I place my energy & time. I also feel like Revolt’s leadership not speaking on this says a lot and even though this podcast experience blessed me… I’m done.”
Monuments to Me featured only Black women and worked to “normalize praising, celebrating, and building monuments to Black women.” Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, amicably settled the lawsuit she filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs last week, for an undisclosed amount.
She accused Combs of sexual assault as well as rape, physical assault and sex trafficking. “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support,” Ventura explained in a statement.
