Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura's husband Alex Fine has condemned Sean "Diddy" Combs after the release of shocking footage that appears to show the rapper assaulting the singer in a hotel hallway in 2016.
In an open letter shared on Instagram, Fine, who has been married to the "Me & U" singer since 2019, stood in solidarity with his wife as he condemned violence against women and girls, and told abusers: "You're not safe anymore."
"Men who hit women aren't men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren't men," he began. "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 [sic] regard. Men who hurt women hate women."
