‘You did not break her’: Cassie Ventura’s husband breaks silence after her Diddy trial testimony

Alex Fine released a powerful statement following his wife’s harrowing four-day testimony against her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Cassie Ventura’s husband, Alex Fine, has released a powerful statement following her emotional four-day testimony against her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs in his sex-trafficking case.

“Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife freeing herself of her party,” Fine said in a statement which was ready by lawyer Douglas Wigdor, Page Six reports.

“I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her.”

Fine went on, calling out Combs and “all those who helped him along the way”.

“Please know this: You did not. You did not break her spirit, nor her smile, that lights up every room. You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man,” the statement continued.

“Cassie saved Cassie. 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.”

Fine, who has shown up to support his eight-months pregnant wife throughout the four days of gruelling testimony she provided, was brought up repeatedly in court on Friday as his relationship with Ventura was put into question by Combs’ legal team.

Combs’ lawyer Anna Estevao probed Ventura on her final day of on the stand regarding the singer’s testimony about the timeline of her relationship with Combs.

Ventura previously told jurors that the disgraced music mogul – who is on trial for racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution – raped her in August 2018.

However, in the 2023 lawsuit in which she accused Combs of raping her, physically abusing her and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes, Ventura alleged the rape took place in September 2018.

Combing through previous text messages allegedly exchanged between the two, Ms Estevao showed the court that she and Combs had been intimate on September 27, 2018.

At the time, Ventura had already been dating her now-husband, with whom she is currently expecting her third child.

Ventura went on to clarify to the court that she had not been raped on the night in question and confirmed that she had received a FaceTime call from Fine, 32, during the interaction.

The “Me & U” singer claimed the personal trainer eventually learned that she had been sleeping with her ex. She also testified that he “punched a wall” when he found out about the alleged rape.

Ventura first took the stand Tuesday and has since emotionally divulged the traumatic parts of her decade-long relationship with Combs, which included testimony regarding her participation in his “Freak-Off” parties and his alleged physical and emotional abuse throughout the course of their time together.

The testimony concluded on Friday afternoon after the prosecution argued in a letter night that they fear Ventura’s lengthy testimony might cause the singer to go into labour, which would “risk a mistrial”.

Combs has vehemently denied all of Ventura’s accusations and pleaded not guilty in his federal case.

Dawn Richards, who was a former member of Diddy’s female group Danity Kane, took the stand after Ventura. She’s expected to continue her testimony on Monday.
