'To the abusers, you're done, you're not safe anymore, you're not protected anymore,' Cassie Ventura's husband Alex Fine wrote on Instagram.

Cassie Ventura‘s husband Alex Fine issued a statement on violence against women after a video that apparently depicts Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting Ventura surfaced on Friday.
In leaked hotel footage posted on CNN, Combs appears to grab, shove and kick Ventura, who filed a lawsuit against Combs in November last year. Ventura and the hip-hop mogul were in a relationship for over a decade before Fine and Ventura wed in 2019.
Fine penned a lengthy letter that he shared on Instagram with the caption noting he had written it “awhile back,” but the “words ring true not just today but everyday.” The caption also included a number for a domestic violence hotline.

Fine’s letter starts by addressing its target audience — women and children. He goes on to say, “Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men, violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable. Check your brothers, your friends, and your family. Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved. Hold the women in your life with the upmost regard.” He continues, “To the abusers, you’re done, you’re not safe anymore, you’re not protected anymore, the men by your side are just as weak, you’re so miserable with yourself that death would be considered a kindness.”
The leaked footage of the assault matches allegations made in Ventura’s lawsuit outlining an incident that occurred at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Ventura’s complaint claims Combs paid the hotel $50,000 to obtain the video from the incident, which is just one of the many startling allegations that Ventura made against Combs in her suit, including accusations of rape and abuse.
Meanwhile, Combs has vehemently denied the long list of allegations of sexual assault pointed against him that have surfaced throughout the last few months.
“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” Combs wrote in December. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
See Fine’s post below.
Revolt, the media company Combs founded in 2013, from which he stepped down as CEO after the lawsuits were filed, issued the following statement on social media.
We are deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent video circulating of our former Chairman, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Even with his recent separation from REVOLT, it is still our duty to address this matter and recognize the direct impact it has on our staff, our audience, and the culture we represent. REVOLT stands in solidarity with all who have been a victim of abuse and remain committed to upholding the values and integrity our community expects from us. We vehemently stand against any form of domestic abuse and will
always be a fearless advocate for truth and accountability.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. Please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-7233.
