D4vd case update: Actress who played singer's GF in music video breaks silence on controversy; what she said
Actress Cassidy Clarke, who starred in D4vd's music video, has distanced herself from the singer amid scrutiny.
An actress who appeared alongside D4vd in one of his music videos has spoken out amid online scrutiny, distancing herself from the singer and the controversy surrounding him. Cassidy Clarke, who played D4vd’s girlfriend in the “Here With Me” music video, said she felt compelled to respond after being flooded with messages questioning her connection to the case involving Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
“I’ve gotten quite a few messages of people asking me if I have anything to do with this… I just wanted to put an end to it,” she said in a video statement. “I do not associate with David by any means.”
Clarke clarified that her involvement with the singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, was strictly professional. She said she was 18 at the time of filming, while D4vd was 17, and landed the role through a casting platform.
“It was a 12-hour shoot, very low pay, non-union job,” she said, adding that she met his family on set, as they were present during the shoot.
“I’m an actor. I literally have nothing to do with him. I did it for a job. I did it for a check,” she said.

She also noted that although they briefly followed each other on social media after filming, their interaction did not extend beyond that. “We didn’t really get along… it felt like we were bickering,” she added.
In her statement, Clarke went further, announcing she would remove the singer from her social media and stating that she no longer has any connection to him.
“I don’t follow him on Instagram anymore… I’m going to remove him as a follower,” she said. She also expressed support for the victim’s family, adding she wanted to make it clear she does not associate with him “by any means.”
