Cassie is finding peace as the trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs comes to an end.
“Cassie feels relieved now that she is removed from the trial,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She is glowing and finally feels free. This marks the final chapter in her long and painful history with Diddy, and she is finally at peace.”
The insider adds that Cassie, 38, “feels a deep sense of closure and freedom” now that “a weight has been lifted” off her shoulders.
Cassie (real name Casandra Ventura) took the stand during Diddy’s trial to speak on her history with the disgraced music mogul. During her emotional testimony, Cassie claimed that she endured physical and sexual abuse through her relationship with Diddy, 55, which occurred from 2007 to 2018.
Diddy is on trial for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution following his September 2024 arrest. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.
Before his arrest, Cassie sued Diddy, accusing the rapper of abuse throughout their relationship. Diddy denied Cassie’s claims in a statement shared by his attorney.
“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” Diddy’s lawyer Ben Brafman said in November 2023.
One day after the lawsuit was filed, Cassie and Diddy settled out of court. While on the stand in June, Cassie revealed she received a $20 million payment.
Two weeks after completing her testimony, Cassie welcomed her third child, a son, with husband Alex Fine. In addition to their newborn little one, the couple are also parents to daughters Frankie and Sunny, whom they welcomed in December 2019 and March 2021, respectively.
Now that she is a mom of three, Cassie is planning on staying “out of the spotlight” so she can focus on her growing brood.
“The girls love having a baby brother in the house and are obsessed with him. She had a hard labor but feels her family is complete now,” the source tells Us. “Cassie is enjoying living on the East Coast for now and raising her kids near her family.”
According to the insider, Cassie has put Hollywood behind her and she’s prioritizing a “private life” with her family.
“She’s now fully focused on her future and the life she’s built outside of the public chaos,” the source explains, adding that “Alex does everything he can to make sure Cassie is in a good headspace and they are a great team. She is so happy to have him.”
While Cassie has focused on motherhood, Diddy’s trial has continued. On Tuesday, July 1, the jury reached a verdict on four out of the five charges. The only count that the jurors had not reached a decision yet was for racketeering conspiracy. Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed the jury on Tuesday and will have them return the following day to resume their deliberations.
