Exotic Dancer Apologizes To Cassie For His Role In ‘Freak Offs’ After Diddy Trial Testimony

Sharay Hayes has something to say to Cassie.

Last week, the exotic dancer, who’s also known as The Punisher, testified in Diddy’s sex trafficking trial. He recalled being hired to have intimate relations with Cassie during a “freak-off” at Donald Trump‘s tower in 2012. He testified there was a man seated at a table completely naked besides a veil “like a Muslim woman would wear” watching the relations. At the time, he claimed he didn’t recognize the man as Diddy, but now knows it was him. And he’s NOT proud of it.

The now-51-year-old appeared on CNN on Wednesday and had a message directly for Cassie. When asked what he would say to the Me & U singer after testifying, he revealed, “I would apologize.” Sharay went on:

“I would apologize because I had no idea, no indication what she was going through. Obviously, my involvement kind of furthered her suffering.”

He continued:

“Me — knowing that as a man, being raised by a single mom and a grandma — just the thought of partaking in a scenario where a woman is possibly being abused is tough to hear. I would just apologize to her and tell her that I was really remorseful and regret if I contributed to a bad experience for her.”

That’s really heavy… Obviously nothing can be done to take away the suffering Cassie was subjected to while dating Diddy, but hopefully this offers her some sort of peace knowing at the very least ONE of the people she was involved with has compassion and empathy for her. Hear him talk more about it (below):

Cassie previously testified that she was scared to refuse freak-offs over fear Diddy would blackmail and abuse her. Sharay’s comments came the same day Cassie welcomed her third child with husband Alex Fine. We wish her nothing but the best after telling her painful story in Diddy’s trial.
