Casandra "Cassie" Ventura has gracefully re-emerged on social media following the joyful arrival of her third child with her husband, Alex Fine, and her courageous testimony against her former partner, Sean "Diddy" Combs, in a trial fraught with charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution. On Thursday, August 7th, the singer, who welcomed a baby boy almost two weeks after testifying in Combs' criminal trial in May, shared an insightful video on her Instagram Stories, chronicling her postpartum journey.
In the video, first spotlighted by the @momswithplans Instagram page, a man dances enthusiastically before a gathering while DJ Khaled's "Wild Thoughts," featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, resonates in the background. Overlaid text humorously captions the scene: "When your old self slowly starts emerging postpartum." Ventura added her own touch to the repost, commenting, "So true. Bit by bit. lol."
PEOPLE magazine confirmed that Ventura and Fine, 32, welcomed their third bundle of joy, a baby boy, on May 28th. The couple is also the proud parents of daughters Frankie Stone, 5, and Sunny Cinco, 4.
Cassie, known for her hit "You and ME," was previously entangled in a decade-long romance with Combs, which不幸的是 came to an end in 2018. During Combs' trial, Ventura shed light on the alleged abuse she endured during their relationship, including so-called "freak offs" – sex parties where she and others claimed they were compelled to engage in sexual encounters with male sex workers, all while Combs observed.
The music mogul was convicted of prostitution-related charges but was acquitted of the more severe accusations of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Fine, who has been married to Ventura since 2019, stood by her side during her testimony and issued a heartfelt statement defending his wife after the trial's first week concluded. "Sitting there, I felt an array of emotions," he expressed. "I felt immense pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I also felt deep anger that she had to confront the person who tried to break her."
Fine clarified, "I did not save Cassie, as some might suggest. To claim so would be an insult to the years of arduous work my wife has put into saving herself. Cassie saved Cassie." He continued, "She alone managed to escape abuse, coercion, violence, and threats. She battled the demons that only a malevolent force could have inflicted upon her. All I've done is love her as fiercely as she has loved me."
