Prince's Security Allegedly 'Intervened' In Diddy Attack Against Cassie
A former assistant of Sean 'Diddy' Combs testified that Prince's security team allegedly stepped in and stopped a violent attack against Casandra Fine. The woman shared her story under the condition of anonymity and took the stand under the name Mia and was identified as Victim-4. According to PEOPLE Magazine, Mia worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017. During her employment, she was allegedly overworked and sexually assaulted multiple times by the Harlem native. While under oath, Mia detailed that she and Fine, who was then recognized by her stage name Cassie, became like sisters. Her account described that when the two women did something without the approval of Combs, there were 'unpredictable and terrifying' consequences. Mia testified that the night Prince's staff intervened, she was commanded to stay with the 'Official Girl' singer while Combs visited his children. While the two women were secluded at their hotel, a friend allegedly called with an invitation to attend a party hosted by the legendary musician. 'Cass and I debated like little kids if we should sneak out of the house for probably what felt like forever,' recalled Mia. They decided to attend the affair, and once at the private event, spotted Combs before running out. According to her testimony, 'Puff caught Cass.' 'He caught up to her and had her on the ground,' Mia exclaimed. 'He started attacking her, but Prince's security swiftly intervened.' The next day, she was allegedly suspended without pay for 'being insubordinate.' In her testimony earlier this month, Fine also recalled the violent night. 'I caught a glimpse of him, left the party, and ran out as fast as I could,' the 38-year-old testified according to PEOPLE. 'I knew he was angry at me,' she shared as she continued to detail running, falling into the bushes, and eventually making it back to her hotel room before Combs burst in the door. 'We went into the bedroom and he beat me up,' she claimed. 'He threw luggage at me, calling me all kinds of names.' Combs is currently standing trial for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Cassie's Husband, Alex Fine, Calls Sean 'Diddy' Combs A 'Demon'
Alex Fine issued a statement in support of his wife, Casandra Ventura, known professionally as Cassie, amid her alarming testimony against Sean 'Diddy' Combs. On the stand, Cassie shared disturbing details about the alleged physical and sexual abuse she suffered during her relationship with Combs, including graphic information about 'freak-offs' and beatings. 'I have felt so many things sitting there,' relayed Fine in a statement, per The Independent. 'I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her. You did not break her spirit nor her smile.' 'I did not save Cassie, as some have said. To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself. Cassie saved Cassie,' explained the personal trainer. He continued, 'She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence, and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her. All I have done is love her as she has loved me.' The 'Official Girl' singer also shared a statement after her four days of testimony. 'I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear,' she declared. Combs's trial for sex trafficking and racketeering continues this week with former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard taking the stand. Last week, Richard described witnessing Combs' abuse of Cassie and detailed a violent 2009 attack. 'He came downstairs, asking where his phone was and he threw her to the ground. He attempted to kick her. She fell to the ground and went into the fetal position, literally trying to hide her head,' Richard claimed, detailing how the Hip-Hop mogul allegedly hit Cassie with a skillet. 'I was scared for her, I was scared to do anything,' In September 2024, Richard filed a civil suit against Combs for sexual and physical abuse, as well as inhumane treatment. After her testimony, the 55-year-old requested that the suit be thrown out with his legal team claiming it to be an attempt 'to transform narratives of alleged injuries against others into a headline-grabbing sex trafficking conspiracy as to her.' If convicted in his criminal trial, Combs could be in prison for life.

Pregnant Cassie Ventura divulges shocking details of ex Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' ‘Freak-Off' that lasted 4 days: ‘Became a job'
Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura divulged shocking new details about ex Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 'Freak-Offs' during her testimony. On Tuesday, the 'Me & U' singer — who is expecting her third child with husband Alex Fine — took the stand to testify during the 'Act Bad' rapper's sex trafficking trial about the wild sex- and drug-filled parties he hosted. 'The 'Freak-Offs' became a job,' Ventura, 38, told the jury inside the Manhattan federal court. 'There was no time to do anything else but do them, then try to recover.' When Assistant United States Attorney Emily Johnson asked Ventura how much time a 'Freak-Off' would take, she replied that it would take 'significant periods of time.' 'The longest was four days,' she claimed. Elsewhere in her testimony, the 'Long Way 2 Go' songstress recalled the horrific details of the alleged abuse she experienced at the hands of her ex, whom she dated on and off for 10 years. 'He would bash me on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp me on the head if i was down,' she testified from the witness stand Tuesday. Ventura claimed the dad of seven would fight with her over little disagreements and would tell her to 'fix [her] face or watch [her] mouth' before he allegedly began 'hitting' her in the face. 'I also felt at certain times when I knew it wasn't even about me … make the wrong face and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face,' she further testified. The model alleged Combs, who is 17 years older than her, introduced her to 'Freak-Offs' when she was around 22 and would 'direct' her and her sexual partner on what to do. 'I was in love and I just wanted to make him happy,' she told jurors. In November 2023, Ventura filed a lawsuit against the disgraced hip-hop mogul, accusing him of rape and repeated physical abuse throughout their relationship. Combs, 55, initially denied the allegations. However, he and the 'Official Girl' singer settled for an undisclosed amount within 24 hours. In May 2024, hotel surveillance footage of the REVOLT co-founder attacking Ventura after she tried to escape into an elevator was released to the public by CNN. A LAPD officer who was at the scene of the 2016 hotel beating testified Monday that Combs offered him a stack of money to keep quiet about the assault on Ventura. Combs is currently on trial facing charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty. The 'Last Night' rapper is also facing a plethora of lawsuits from both men and women who have accused him of a range of sexual misconduct. He has denied all allegations.
