Cassie Gives Birth Amid Sean Combs Sex Trafficking Trial

R&B singer and actress Casandra Ventura, known as Cassie, has given birth to her third child, a son, in New York amid the ongoing federal sex trafficking trial against her former partner, Sean "Diddy" Combs. Cassie, who testified earlier this month while visibly pregnant, described enduring physical and sexual abuse during their decade-long relationship, contributing crucial testimony to the case against Combs, who faces charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which also include forced labor, narcotics offenses, and obstruction of justice. Cassie's husband, Alex Fine, and their two daughters, Frankie and Sunny, complete their family. Stylist Deonte Nash, a former staffer for Combs, confirmed speaking with Cassie to congratulate her on the birth. Cassie has expressed hope that her testimony inspires others to heal from abuse, while representatives for her and Fine have yet to comment publicly on the birth.
