New York, May 18, 2025 – Alex Fine, husband to singer Cassie Ventura, is praising her strength and courage after she gave a deeply emotional testimony in the ongoing sex trafficking trial of her ex-boyfriend, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Over four days in court, Cassie, 38 and currently eight months pregnant with her third child with Fine, opened up about a decade of alleged abuse. She detailed being forced into what Diddy called “freak offs” — intense, drug-fueled group encounters with male escorts that she said happened “hundreds” of times throughout their relationship. Cassie shared how she often felt trapped, manipulated through fear, violence, and control.
“It wasn’t love — it became a job,” she told the court, fighting back tears. She added that the experiences left her emotionally broken and physically exhausted, sometimes needing days to recover. Cassie even said she’d give back the $20 million settlement she received in 2023 if it meant she could erase those years from her life.
By her side through it all is Alex Fine, who married Cassie in 2019 and has been her biggest supporter. After her testimony, he took to social media with a heartfelt message: “Cassie is the strongest person I know. Her courage to speak the truth, even when it hurts, is inspiring. I’m so proud of the woman she is and the mother she is to our girls. We stand with her — always.”
The response online has been overwhelming. Fans and celebrities alike flooded the comments to applaud Cassie’s bravery and Fine’s unwavering support. Many called her a voice for countless others who’ve suffered in silence.
Cassie’s testimony also included disturbing claims of physical abuse and a 2018 rape she said occurred after she tried to leave the relationship. One key piece of evidence — hotel footage from 2016 — allegedly shows Combs beating her as she tried to escape one of the encounters.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution-related crimes. His legal team has argued that Cassie participated in the encounters willingly, referencing text messages as evidence. But Cassie explained that fear and emotional manipulation were often behind those messages.
As the trial continues, Cassie’s voice is resonating far beyond the courtroom. Supporters see her as a symbol of resilience, not just for sharing her story, but for doing so with honesty and dignity. With Alex and their two daughters in her corner, she’s turning pain into power — and showing the world what it means to rise above.
