Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, supported her on social media just hours after news broke that the model, 37, accused Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, of raping and physically abusing her for years, according to an explosive lawsuit she filed Thursday.
The personal trainer, 30, subtly shared a photo from the couple’s wedding day via an Instagram Story, adding only a red heart emoji. The sweet photo, which was deleted shortly after, appears to be a repost from a past Instagram collage from her account in August 2022.
As The Post previously reported, Cassie claimed that Diddy trafficked, raped and beat her from 2005 to 2018.
“After years of silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and speak on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, said in a statement through his lawyer at Wigdor LLP.
The R&B singer claims that their on-and-off-again relationship began in 2005 when she was 19 and Combs was 37. He allegedly introduced her to opiates in 2008 in an effort to keep her compliant and he would “frequently” and “savagely” ” beat her several times throughout the year.

Additionally, the rapper allegedly forced Ventura to engage in drug-fueled sex acts with sex workers. He would call the arrangement a “Freak Off”; he will also be charged with making films and directing them and masturbating.
“Ms. Ventura was repulsed by Mr. Combs’s demands, but between physical blows and recognition of his extraordinary power and extraordinary temperament, Ms. Ventura became fearful of her partners and bosses, and felt that she could not say no,” her filing said.
In one particular incident, Ventura claimed that Combs became “irate” when he spoke to another music manager at an LA party in 2009. Combs then allegedly pushed him out of the club and into a vehicle where he stomped on his face until he was left bleeding. After the alleged incident, the rapper kept her in a hotel for a week as she recovered from her injuries and wouldn’t allow her to visit her mother until she recovered.
Two years later in 2011, Ventura claimed that Combs became “very angry” when he found out she briefly dated Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, at a time when Ventura and Combs were not together.

In response, Combs allegedly beat him and, a few months later, he allegedly threatened to blow up Kid’s Audi car.
“At that moment, Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his driveway,” court documents read. A spokesperson for Cudi told The New York Times that Ventura’s account was “all true.”
In 2015, Ventura also claimed Combs forced her to leave her 29th birthday party to go to a “Freak Out” at a nearby hotel. When she broke up with him in 2018 over dinner, he allegedly pushed her into her home and raped her, according to the lawsuit.
Combs’ attorney, Ben Brafman, said his client “vehemently denies these outrageous and outrageous allegations.” He also claims that Ventura has demanded $30 million from Combs over the past six months “under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which he categorically rejected as outright blackmail.”

He said in a statement to Page Six: “Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now been forced to file a lawsuit full of baseless and outrageous lies, intended to smear Mr. Combs’ reputation and seek a payday.”
In December 2015, rumors surfaced that the exes had broken up after Ventura posted a meme photo of a sleeping baby on Instagram that read, “How I sleep … knowing that I’m single and no one cheats on me.” He immediately deleted the post. However, Us Weekly reported in August 2016 that they were still together.
Two years later, it was revealed that the two had split for good. “They are definitely no longer together and haven’t been together for months,” Cassie’s rep said in a statement to LoveBScott at the time.

Ventura will meet Fine in 2018. They married in Malibu in September 2019 and are parents to daughters Frankie, 3, and Sunny, 2.
