Cassie Ventura’s husband has spoken out after a video surfaced showing rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs brutally attacking her in 2016.
On Friday, Cassie’s husband, personal trainer Alex Fine, 31, shared a poignant message about domestic abuse on Instagram.
On Friday, surveillance footage was obtained by CNN that showed Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, 37, in a hotel hallway in 2016.
Alex’s social media post not only addressed the disturbing situation involving his wife and Combs but any woman or child who has suffered from domestic violence.
His message began, “Letter to women and children.
“Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men.”
He stated that “violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable” and encouraged people to check “your brothers, your friends, and your family.”
“Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved.”
Alex stated, “Hold the women in your life with the utmost regard” before asserting, “Men who hurt women hate women.”
The professional bull rider then told the survivors of domestic abuse to “find the men and women who help and love.”
“To all the survivors, your stories are real and people believe you.”
He continued, “To all the survivors, you’re not alone and there are men and women who care only for your well-being and safety. We want you to succeed and flourish.”
“To all the women and children, I’m sorry to live in a world where you’re not protected and you don’t feel equal. I want to raise my daughters in a world where they are safe and loved,” Alex wrote.
Alex and Cassie, who married in 2019, share daughters Frankie, four, and Sunnie, two.
He then turned his attention to the abusers, writing, “You’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore.
“The men by your side are just as weak.”
Alex concluded, “You’re so miserable with yourself that death would be considered a kindness.”
The 31-year-old explained in the post’s caption, “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.” he added.
GUT-WRENCHING VIDEO
The disturbing surveillance footage captured Combs, holding a towel around his waist, chasing after Cassie as she waited for an elevator at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.
Combs then forcefully strikes Cassie, born Casandra Ventura, throws her on the floor, and kicks her as she lies motionless, the video obtained by CNN shows.
The rapper then grabs her bag and purse, continues his assault, and proceeds to drag her across the elevator bank into the hallway.
A second camera angle obtained by CNN showed the moments after the assault as Cassie slowly stood up and retrieved her belongings.
Cassie is then seen picking up a phone in the hallway as Combs returns and sits on a chair directly in front of her.
Moments later, Combs grabs what appears to be a vase from a table and throws it at Cassie.
The horrific assault matches the allegations Cassie made in the lawsuit she filed against the Bad Boy mogul in New York in November 2023.
Cassie alleged that in March 2016, an “extremely intoxicated” Combs “punched her in the face, giving her a black eye.”
“Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited, Mr. Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura,” the court filing reads.
“He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallways and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”
Both parties shockingly settled the lawsuit a day after the documents were filed in federal court.
Cassie declined to comment to CNN on the unearthed video.
Douglas H. Wigdor, Cassie’s attorney, told the outlet, “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.”
Neither Combs nor his legal team have commented on the newly released video.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Combs’ attorney for comment.
