Cassie Ventura’s husband Alex Fine has shared an emotional statement to his wife following her testimony against her ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Cassie Ventura’s husband, Alex Fine, has praised his wife after she completed four days of giving testimony against her former partner Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The couple tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed two children together. Ventura is currently expecting their third child, testifying in court eight months into her pregnancy.
Combs is currently accused of a variety of charges including including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, after being arrested in September. He denies all charges put against him.
In a statement issued to reporters Friday a statement from Alex which was read out by attorney Douglas Wigdor said: “Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife.”
“There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife’s testimony. I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass.”
Fine also addressed how his wife, Cassie, “saved herself” through her strength. All I have done is love her as she has loved me,” he said.
Fine emotionally added: “You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls.”
During the trial, the full video of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ attack on his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura was shown in court. The video, which had no sound, showed security footage from the hotel attack in 2016.
Shortly after testifying, Cassie’s lawyer, Doug Wigdor released a statement on her behalf. The singer, who is preparing to give birth “any day” said the past few days had been “challenging” for her.
Cassie’s statement read: “This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me.
“For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget. I want to thank my family and my advocates for their unwavering support, and I’m grateful for all the kindness and encouragement that I have received.
“I’m glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family.”
The trial continues.
