Days after Diddy's trial, ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura breaks her silence with an Instagram post about healing: ‘Little by little..'
Cassie returns to Instagram after Diddy trial and third baby
On Thursday, 7 August, the singer shared a relatable Instagram Story about the postpartum experience. The clip, originally posted by the account momswithplans, features a man dancing with joy as DJ Khaled's Wild Thoughts blares in the background. Overlaid text reads, 'When your old self slowly starts coming out postpartum.' Cassie responded with a simple yet loaded caption: 'Factual. Little by little. lol.'
A new baby and a new chapter for Cassie
The post marks Cassie's first online appearance since welcoming her third child, a baby boy, with husband Alex Fine on 28 May. The couple, married since 2019, also share two daughters: Frankie Stone and Sunny Cinco.
Her short comment may seem casual, but to many fans, it symbolises the start of healing, both from the physical toll of childbirth and the emotional wounds reopened during the courtroom showdown with Combs.
Cassie's testimony against Diddy shook the industry
Earlier this year, Cassie took the stand in Combs' high-profile criminal trial, where the music mogul faced charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution. While he was found guilty of prostitution-related offences, he was acquitted of the more serious allegations.
Cassie's courtroom revelations sent shockwaves through the industry. She described disturbing experiences during her long relationship with Combs, including being forced to participate in so-called 'freak offs,' sex parties orchestrated by the rapper.
Alex fine defends his wife's strength
Throughout the trial, Cassie's husband Alex Fine stood firmly by her side. In a powerful statement, he expressed both rage and admiration, emphasising that Cassie had fought her own battles and rescued herself from years of abuse. He credited her for doing the 'painful work' to heal from the trauma inflicted by her past.
As Cassie eases back into public life, one thing is clear, her journey of reclaiming joy and identity is unfolding one step at a time. Or, as she put it, 'Little by little."

Virat Kohli resumes practice, shows first signs of returning to Indian cricket moments after white beard pic sparks fear
Virat Kohli is going nowhere. At least that's what it looks like. The Indian batting superstar, away from the limelight, just shared his first glimpse of returning to international cricket, sending a wave of happiness among his fans. Earlier in the day, a picture of him surfaced online, with plenty of grey hair, leaving fans worried. The Kohli faithful felt the end was near and feared the worst – a possible retirement from the ODIs, going by the amount of grey in his beard. However, Kohli, through a simple social media activity, confirmed that he is not done, and if anything, he is set for a return to Indian cricket sooner rather than later. Virat Kohli had his first hit in a while(Virat Kohli-Instagram) Kohli shared a picture with Gujarat Titans assistant coach Naeem Amin, in which both posed in what appeared to be an indoor cricket training facility. The backdrop suggests that Kohli, who hasn't played cricket since the conclusion of the IPL 2025, could have resumed practice ahead of his return, currently slated for October. "Thanks for helping out with the hit, brother. Always lovely to see you," Kohli captioned his Instagram story. What confirmed Kohli's training was that Amin was holding one of Kohli's classic MRF logoed bats in his hand. Kohli has flown under the radar and remained low-key since the IPL, making just two public appearances – going to attend Wimbledon and then gracing a 'YouWeCan' event hosted in London by Yuvraj Singh. He has, otherwise, been away from the public eye, and barring a couple of posts on X on the Indian team's performances in Birmingham and the Oval, Kohli has been, well, to put it simply, in hibernation. Who is Naeem Amin? Amin has been with the Titans since the franchise's beginning in 2022 and is the head of the Mighty Willow Academy. The academy is based in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and London, and is open to cricketers of all ages and abilities. Besides, Amin also played for Surrey CCC (2008) & Buckinghamshire CCC (2007), before serving as the national coach of Norway in 2011. He also served as the head coach of the MCC Foundation from 2013-2017, and before coming aboard the GT setup, Amis was also a coaching Assistant for Sunrisers Hyderabad from early 2018.

Forgot Rakhi is tomorrow? Last-minute gifts for your sister you can order in 10 minutes from Zepto, Blinkit and more
Let us guess. You were out here scrolling memes, binge-watching re-runs, and suddenly your mum screeches, 'Get her something!' Cue instant sibling guilt. But relax, you do not need to sprint to the mall in sweaty panic. Oh no, you forgot the Rakhi gift again?! Enter: Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and their superhero 10-minute deliveries. You might be last-minute, but you can still be iconic. And the gift options that they have there, might just become your go to for all the gifting sessions. Budget gifting like a pro Let us be real, Rakhi is more about the emotion than the expense (and the potential blackmail later). If you are on a budget but still want to impress your sister, here are some solid picks under ₹500 that you can get at your doorstep faster than she can send a passive-aggressive "did you forget?" text: Face sheet mask combos - Because 'I have enough sheet masks' says no girl ever. And it will give a quick glow and who doesn't want that? Mini dessert boxes – Brownies, cheesecakes, or fancy cookies? Instant peace offering. Scented candles – Because her vibe is 'main character energy'. And after she had a hectic week prep going on for Rakhi, just to unwind she finally needs her me time. Cute stationery sets – If your sister is the artsy, journal-hoarder type. Then you know how much it will make her happy. Hair accessories kits – Claw clips, scrunchies, and those Instagram trending pastel ones. You know every girl these days is just obsessed with these claw clips, so what are you waiting for just go and make her Pinterest-y dream come true. Feeling a bit extra? You want to go a little over-the-top without going broke. Fair enough. Here's what you can sneak in while pretending you totally planned this: Korean skincare hampers - Blinkit now stocks brands like Laneige and Cosrx, yes bestie. Gift her these once and she will boast about you in front of her friends the whole year. Luxury chocolate boxes – Lindt, Ferrero, even Moët-infused ones if you want to flex. This doesn't only make her happy, but she will instantly feel emotional thinking how fast you guys are growing up by remembering how you went from KitKat to Lidnt real quick. Mini perfume sets – Smell good, feel good, look rich. No girl ever says no to smelling good, and if you know her vibe, get her the miniatures, oh and also when she finally realizes which one she likes the best, after some time just get her the big one. Coffee or Matcha kits – For the caffeine-fueled drama queen in her, coffee kits, or oh, even for the Matcha girlies, order the kits, and they won't only have a new hobby, but also cute and aesthetic Instagram stories every morning. Add that emotional garnish Whatever you send, do not skip the drama. Add a note. Record a cheesy voice message. Spam her with childhood photos. Trust us, emotional blackmail via nostalgia hits harder than any Cadbury box. Even if she fake-rolls her eyes, she will screenshot it for Instagram stories. So yes, you forgot. Again. But this time, you saved it like a boss. With Zepto, Blinkit and co, you turned panic into Pinterest. Whether she is a skincare snob, snack queen, or aesthetic freak, these last-minute gifts will seal your sibling status as 'best bhai' or 'least useless brother'. For now.
