Cassie And Alex Fine Release Statement After Testimony In Diddy Trial https://www.hot97.com/news/cassie-and-husband-alex-fine-release-statement-after-testimony-in-diddy-trial/ https://www.hot97.com/news/cassie-and-husband-alex-fine-release-statement-after-testimony-in-diddy-trial/#respond Fri, 16 May 2025 21:39:16 +0000 Cassie and her husband, Alex Fine, releases a statement via their lawyer after Cassie’s conclusion of her testimony in the Diddy trial.

“I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear,” Cassie said, per TMZ. “For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget.”

The songstress says she’s “glad to put this chapter of my life to rest as I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy.”

In the statement Fine also shared his sentiments following the emotional four-day testimony. “I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass,” he wrote. “I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her.”

“You did not break her spirit nor her smile,” he said. “I did not save Cassie, as some have said. To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself. Cassie saved Cassie,” he wrote. “She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence, and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her.”

Cassie is currently eight-and-a-half months pregnant with her and Fine’s third child. The couple have been married since 2019. The pair share two daughters, 5-year-old Frankie and 4-year-old Sunny. With a baby boy on the way.

Boosie Badazz Says Cassie And Alex Fine Set Diddy Up https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-says-cassie-and-alex-fine-set-diddy-up/ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-says-cassie-and-alex-fine-set-diddy-up/#respond Tue, 20 May 2025 22:23:41 +0000 Boosie Badazz claims that Cassie and her husband, Alex Fine, devised a scheme to bring Diddy down.

As the Bad Boy Records founder is facing a life sentence in prison if found guilty in his sex trafficking trial, Bossie’s conspiracy theory suggests that the couple “masterminded” Diddy’s fall from grace.

“[Cassie’s] HUSBAND HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET HER TO DO THIS FOR YEARS TO DIDDY BUT SHE DIDNT WANT TO DO IT BECAUSE SHE KNEW WHAT WILL COME OUT,” he shared on social media.

Boosie also said that the couple was dealing with financial hardships and which sparked them to file a lawsuit against Diddy. 

 “THEN AS A COUPLE YALL [BECAME] BROKE,” he continued.

He even mentioned Yung Miami saying Cassie was jealous of her because she publicly supported Diddy.

“NOW THE PLOT BECOMES REALER BY THE MONTH !! I THINK THE LAST STRAW WAS THE DIDDY N CARESHA REALTIONSHIP,” his post continued. “WHEN SHE SAW CARESHA WITH THAT SIGN SUPPORTING HER MAN AT THAT AWARDS THAT DID IT. A WOMAN SCORNED IS A DANGEROUS EVIL MF #yeahisaidit.”

After four days of testimony, Cassie and Fine both issued statements about the ordeal that they experienced leading up to and during the trial.

This is the first time that a Louisiana rapper has come out in support of Diddy. Following Diddy’s arrest in September 2024, he shared how much he disagreed with the accusations.

“I feel DIDDY N JAIL FOR BASICALLY DOING WHAT EVERY OTHER FAMOUS ENTERTAINER HAS DONE “FLEW BITCHES OUT FOR 3 SOMES “HE JUST FREAKIER. WE ACTUALLY GO CALL WOMEN  PROSTITUTES WHO FLY N WILLINGLY TO BE WITH THEY PARTNERS FOR SEX? IF THATS THE CASE IF U BEEN FLEWED OUT N HAD SEX YOU SHOULD BE LABELED A PROSTITUTE,” he tweeted at the time.

“IF THATS THE CASE THATS 80% OF THE WOMEN READING THIS .N TRAFFICKING #hellna YOU’RE A CELEBRITY YOU GOTTA FLY PUSSY N ,HOW ELSE U GOT GET THE PUSSY? YOURE NEVER N ONE PLACE WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO I WAS PISSED OFF AT THIS NIGGA LIKE HE REALLY GOT  A PROBLEM,” his post continued. “BUT FACING “LIFE N PRISON “FOR DOING BASICALLY WHAT SO MANY OTHER ENTERTAINER HAS DONE #idisagree”

Cassie’s Husband Alex Fine Speaks Out Following Diddy Assault Video https://www.hot97.com/news/cassies-husband-alex-fine-speaks-out-following-diddy-abuse-video/ Fri, 17 May 2024 19:43:29 +0000 Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, speaks out after a resurfaced video shows Diddy physically assaulting Cassie.

We previously reported that a video obtained by CNN shows Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, running down a hotel hallway chasing after Cassie, kicking, pushing and dragging her. The video is dated to March 5, 2016. The incident took place at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. 

Cassie declined to comment on the aforementioned video, however, Ventura’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, said: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Following the video, Fine, shares a heartfelt message titled “Letter to women and children” via Instagram. The message reads, “men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable, check your brothers, friends and your family. Our daughters, sisters, mothers and wife should feel protected and loved.”

The message continues: “to the abusers, you’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore, the men by your side are just as weak, you’re so miserable with yourself that d***h would be considered a weakness.”

He captions the post, “Wrote this awhile back but the words ring true not just today but everyday. I want my kids and every kid to live in a world that’s safe for women and girls, protects them and treats them as equals. To the women and children, you’re not alone, and you are heard. if you need help call the domestic violence hotline at (800) 799-7233.”

Cassie’s Husband Alex Fine Breaks Silence Following Claims Of Abuse And Sexual Assault From Diddy https://www.hot97.com/news/cassies-husband-alex-fine-breaks-silence-following-claims-of-abuse-and/ Fri, 17 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Alex Fine shows his support for his wife, Cassie.

We previously reported that Cassie, whose real name is, Casandra Ventura, is suing her former boyfriend, Diddy, for rape, and of repeated physical abuse. “After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships” Cassie expresses.

The lawsuit states that when Cassie was 19, “[Diddy] began a pattern of control and abuse that included plying her with drugs, beating her and forcing her to have sex with a succession of male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters. In 2018, the suit says, near the end of their relationship, Mr. Combs forced his way into her home and raped her.”

A lawyer for Diddy responded to Cassie’s claims. He said: “Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations. For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail. Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”

Following the reports of the lawsuit, Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, whom she shares two daughters with, shared a picture of the two via his Instagram story and captioned it with a heart emoji.

Cassie Rushed To Hospital Following Testimony https://www.hot97.com/news/cassie-rushed-to-hospital-following-testimony/ https://www.hot97.com/news/cassie-rushed-to-hospital-following-testimony/#respond Wed, 28 May 2025 16:45:42 +0000 Cassie, who is eight and a half months pregnant, was reportedly hospitalized and rushed to a New York City hospital’s labor and delivery unit on Tuesday, May 27th. According to TMZ, the 38-year-old singer may be facing pregnancy complications. The health scare comes just weeks after she testified against Sean “Diddy” Combs in his ongoing sex trafficking case.

Cassie was a key witness, following her explosive November 2023 lawsuit that alleged rape, abuse, and coercion during her relationship with Combs from 2007 to 2018. Over four emotional days in court, she described being forced into “freak-offs,” undergoing trauma therapy after their breakup, and reclaiming her power through healing. Her husband, Alex Fine, stood by her side throughout the process.

After her testimony, both Cassie and Fine issued heartfelt statements via her attorney, Doug Wigdor. Cassie shared:
“This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me. I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear. For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget.”

She thanked her family and supporters, adding:
“I am glad to put this chapter of my life to rest as I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy. I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family.”

Fine also honored his wife’s strength, stating:
“Cassie saved Cassie. […] All I have done is love her as she has loved me.”

The couple, who are already parents to daughters Frankie, 5, and Sunny, 4, are expecting a baby boy.

Cassie Reveals She’s Pregnant W/ Third Baby https://www.hot97.com/news/cassie-reveals-shes-pregnant-w-third-baby/ https://www.hot97.com/news/cassie-reveals-shes-pregnant-w-third-baby/#respond Wed, 19 Feb 2025 14:06:14 +0000 Congratulations are in order!

Cassie Ventura announces pregnancy with her husband, Alex Fine. The two share two children together already. The singer shared a series of black-and-white photos with her family via Instagram and captions them, “(pregnant and blue heart emoji) #3.”

The pregnancy announcement comes after Cassie says she’s “recovering” from the hardship she faced in her past.  The “Me and You” single made headlines in 2023 after a surveillance video from 2016 surfaced, revealing domestic abuse from her then boyfriend, Diddy.

In a statement posted in 2024, Cassie expresses, “Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers, and those I have yet to meet,” Ventura wrote on Instagram. “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning.”

The statement continued: “Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past,” she continued. “Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously. My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in.”

Congratulations to her beautiful family.

According to Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said she had been sleeping with her trainer for years, according to Inner City Press.

Cassie is currently married to trainer, Alex Fine.

In a previous resurfaced video, Diddy was seen physically assaulting Cassie.

The video was obtained by CNN and it shows Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, running down a hotel hallway chasing after Cassie, kicking, pushing and dragging her. The video is dated to March 5, 2016. The incident took place at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles

Following the video, Fine, shares a heartfelt message titled “Letter to women and children” via Instagram. The message reads, “men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable, check your brothers, friends and your family.

The message continues: “to the abusers, you’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore, the men by your side are just as weak, you’re so miserable with yourself that d***h would be considered a weakness.”

Diddy Makes Second Attempt at bail:

Diddy is currently in federal custody and will have to sit for a while longer as his first attempt at bail was denied.

TMZ reports that inside the courtroom yesterday, Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky said, “I thank your family members for coming, but I cannot release him” after Diddy proposed a $50 million bail package to the court. 

In another attempt to get released, Diddy says he will not have any female visitors. According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Diddy’s legal team says the security company that keeps a log of all visitors to his Miami Beach home, will “hand over those logs to the government nightly in order to be fully transparent about who Diddy is contacting.”

Diddy team also says he will limit all his visitors to strictly family, property caretakers and friends “who are not co-conspirators in the federal indictment.”

He also agrees to weekly drug testing.

He is still currently in custody, and we will keep you updated if his second attempt at bail is granted.

Cassie’s Former Best Friend Testifies In Diddy Trial; Says Diddy Assaulted Her Too https://www.hot97.com/news/cassies-former-best-friend-testifies-in-diddy-trial-says-diddy-allegedly-assaulted-her-too/ https://www.hot97.com/news/cassies-former-best-friend-testifies-in-diddy-trial-says-diddy-allegedly-assaulted-her-too/#respond Mon, 19 May 2025 18:27:06 +0000 Cassie’s former best friend, Kerry Morgan, begins her testimony in the Diddy trial.

Morgan testified that she’s witnessed Diddy assault Cassie on multiple occasions. She even alleges that Diddy once struck her in an attempt to find out who Cassie was “cheating” on him with.

Morgan recalls visiting Cassie’s home, and listening to music when Combs walked into the living room where she was sitting. As Cassie was in the restroom, Diddy came up behind Morgan, chocked her and hit her on the side of her head with a wooden hanger. She says she sought medical attention following the alleged assault and was diagnosed with a concussion.

⁠Morgan says she hired an attorney following the incident, however, she decided not to press charges against the music mogul. He instead offering her $30,000 and signed an NDA. She says since that incident she has never spoken to Cassie again.

After Cassie’s conclusion of her testimony in the Diddy trial, last week, the model released a statement via her attorney.

“I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear,” Cassie said, per TMZ. “For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget.”

The songstress says she’s “glad to put this chapter of my life to rest as I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy.”

In the statement, her husband, Alex Fine, also shared his sentiments following the emotional four-day testimony. “I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass,” he wrote. “I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her.”

Diddy Issues Apology For Disturbing Video: ‘I Was Disgusted’ https://www.hot97.com/news/diddy-issues-apology-for-disturbing-video-i-was-disgusted/ Sun, 19 May 2024 16:47:03 +0000 Diddy finally responds to the disturbing video footage from CNN, where he is in an altercation with his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. In a new Instagram post, the disgraced mogul apologized for his behavior. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you gotta do that,” he began. The superstar and hitmaker claims he was not himself: “I mean I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses.”

Diddy added, “My behavior on the video was inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.” He continues: “I was disgusted then when I did it, I’m disgusted now. I went and sought professional help, had to go to therapy, rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. I’m committed to being a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”

“My behavior on the video was inexcusable,” Diddy Says

The statement comes after CNN obtained footage of the alleged altercation, which happened in March 2016. The footage sees a shaken Cassie swiftly moving down the hallway to the elevator. However, it’s not long before Diddy — with a towel around his waist — runs down the hallway after her. When he finally catches up with her, he grabs her by the hair and slams her to the ground. The Bad Boy CEO then kicks her multiple times as she lies on the ground.

Last year, Cassie sued the producer and accused him of rape, physical abuse, and human trafficking. Nearly one day later, the pair settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. The former couple were together for 11 years, from 2007 until 2019. Cassie’s Husband, Alex Fine — the former personal trainer of Ventura and Combs — recently hopped on Instagram to offer a statement. “Men who hit women aren’t men,” he wrote. “Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable, check your brothers, your friends, and your family.”
