Sharay Hayes Breaks Silence: Apologizing to Cassie Amidst Diddy’s Trial
Known as “The Punisher,” Sharay Hayes, who gained notoriety during Diddy’s recent legal proceedings, has stepped into the spotlight with his first major televised interview since testifying earlier this month. When questioned about his perspective on Cassie’s allegations and her emotional testimony during the trial, Hayes expressed a heartfelt sense of remorse.
Reevaluating His Role: Hayes’s Public Apology to Cassie
On CNN’s program aired on Tuesday, May 27, Hayes addressed his thoughts regarding Cassie Ventura and her powerful courtroom statements. Confronted with what he would say to her now, Hayes admitted to feeling a deep sense of guilt, acknowledging that he was unaware of the full extent of her suffering at the time. His words reflected a sincere regret for possibly adding to her pain.
During his court appearance, Hayes clarified that he never observed any signs of abuse between Cassie and Diddy during their encounters. However, the allegations Cassie shared have left Hayes visibly shaken, prompting him to openly apologize for any role he might have played in exacerbating her trauma.
“I want to express my regret because I had no idea about her situation or what she was enduring,” Hayes stated, his tone serious and contemplative. “If my involvement contributed in any way to her suffering, I find that very difficult to accept.”
Growing up with a single mother and grandmother, Hayes emphasized his respect and admiration for women, which makes his remorse even more profound. “I sincerely apologize to her and want her to know that I am truly sorry if I played a part in her distress,” he added.
Insights on Diddy and the Allegations
In his testimony, Hayes revealed that he first met Cassie and Diddy back in 2012 at the Trump World Hotel in New York City, according to ABC News. He recounted that a woman, later identified as Cassie Ventura, contacted him about a male escort gig, claiming she wanted him to attend her party and that her “husband” was comfortable with it.
Upon arriving, Hayes described being greeted by Cassie, who was dressed in a bathrobe with no clothes underneath and wearing a wig. She handed him $800 to create a “sexy scene,” while Diddy observed from a distance. Hayes explained that he followed instructions to avoid direct contact and conversation with Diddy, and while he participated in several of these encounters, he never saw any signs of abuse or misconduct between the two during their interactions.
Celebrating New Beginnings: Cassie Welcomes Her Third Child
Amidst the ongoing legal drama, Cassie is embracing her personal happiness. TMZ reports that on Tuesday, May 27-the same day Hayes appeared on television-she welcomed her third child, a baby boy, with her husband, Alex Gorgeous, at a hospital in New York.
Just days after sharing her harrowing courtroom testimony about alleged trafficking, Cassie’s delivery was smooth, and both mother and baby are reported to be doing well. While the baby’s name has not yet been disclosed, fans and followers are eager to celebrate this new chapter in her life.
Previously, Cassie and Alex have been parents to two daughters, Frankie Stone, aged 5, and Sunny Cinco, aged 4, making this newest addition a joyful milestone for their family.
