New York, May 18, 2025 – Alex Fine, the husband of R&B singer Cassie Ventura, has publicly celebrated her bravery after she shared a painful and shocking story in court. Cassie, 38, spent four days testifying in the high-profile sex trafficking trial of her ex-boyfriend, music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Her testimony included graphic details about being forced to take part in what Combs called “freak offs” – drug-fueled, days-long sexual encounters with male escorts, which she said happened “hundreds” of times over their decade-long relationship.

Cassie, who is eight months pregnant with her and Fine’s third child, described the “freak offs” as something she felt trapped into doing. She said Combs, whom she dated from her early 20s, used threats, violence, and control to make her participate, leaving her feeling “worthless” and scared. She tearfully told the court she would give back the $20 million settlement she received from Combs in 2023 if it meant she never had to endure those experiences. “It became a job,” Cassie said, explaining how the encounters left her physically and emotionally drained, often requiring days to recover.
Alex Fine, a personal trainer and Cassie’s husband since 2019, was seen supporting her outside the Manhattan courthouse. In a heartfelt statement shared on social media, Fine called Cassie “the strongest person I know.” He wrote, “Her courage to speak the truth, even when it’s painful, is inspiring. I’m so proud of the woman she is and the mother she is to our girls. We stand by her always.” Fans flooded the comments with support, praising Cassie for her strength and Fine for standing by her side.

Cassie’s testimony also revealed years of alleged abuse by Combs, including physical violence and a 2018 rape she says happened after she tried to end their relationship. She described one incident in 2016, caught on hotel security footage, where Combs beat her as she tried to leave a “freak off.” The video, shown to the jury, has become a key piece of evidence in the trial. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution-related crimes. His defense team argued Cassie willingly took part in the “freak offs,” pointing to old text messages where she seemed enthusiastic, but Cassie explained those messages didn’t reflect her true feelings, saying she felt pressured to please Combs.
The trial, which began earlier this month, has gripped the public with its shocking details and celebrity connections. Names like Britney Spears, Kanye West, and Michael B. Jordan have come up in court, though only in passing. Cassie’s testimony, described as “bombshell” by legal experts, is seen as central to the prosecution’s case against Combs.
As the trial continues, Cassie’s story has sparked widespread admiration for her bravery. “She’s speaking out not just for herself but for others who’ve been silenced,” one supporter wrote online. With Fine and their two daughters by her side, Cassie is focusing on her family and healing, showing the world what it means to stand tall in the face of hardship.
