‘The Broadway’ actress recently took to her social media on Saturday, May 18, to reflect on the recently released footage, per People.

The shocking surveillance footage appears to show the music mogul kicking and dragging Ventura down a hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. 

As his ex-girlfriend tried to rise, Diddy could be seen shoving her and throwing an object in her direction. 

Referring to the disturbing video, Chenoweth wrote on her X (formerly Twitter) account, "Honestly I have my reasons for the Sean Combs video bothering me so much," before adding, "The main thing I need to do is pray for him. For real."

However, a fan quickly responded to her and said she should pray for the “victims” and not the “evil abusers.”

It was then the actress opened up about her experience.

Replying to the post, she wrote, "Never wanted to come out with it, but here we go.”

The ‘Descendants’ star wrote, "Several years ago I was severely abused. It took me therapy and prayer to understand I deserved better." 

"I was deeply injured physically and spiritually," added Cheenoweth before explaining, "The only thing I knew to do when I got out was pray. Pray for myself. Pray for him as he grew up abused. So. There y'all go."

In another post she added, "It was the lowest I’ve been in my life.”

"I must admit I haven’t forgiven yet. It's beyond me. God is helping me through that part,” shared the star.

The ‘RV” actress continued, "A victim has to handle it however [she/he/they] needs to and is best for them," before adding that her experience might help someone.

Nevertheless, Chenoweth has come out of the harrowing nightmare and is currently enjoying her married life with Josh Bryant, with whom she tied the knot in September 2023.

Fans applauded her for coming out

Kristen Chenoweth got massive support after coming out with her abuse history. 

One of the fans said, "So sorry Kristen. But your courage in sharing your story is so inspiring. There is healing in the telling. Sending you so much love."

Someone else added, "You owed no one an explanation but being brave, open and honest you let us in. I’m sorry that happened to you and appreciative of your vulnerability. Sending love and hugs."

Another fan chimed in, "I hate that you went through this and I also hate that you felt you had to explain this because people want so desperately to twist anything anyone says into something to criticize."

"You didn’t have to share something so personal. I’m sure someone will have something negative to say about it .. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m happy you got out," shared the fourth.

"Sharing pain can diminish its hold on us and provide support for others. I admire your courage, Kristin. 💗," wrote another one.
