In less than 24 hours, Diddy and Cassie and her husband, Alex himself, have become trending topics on social media. Now, social media users are digging up videos of the former couple and her life after the relationship ended in 2018.
As previously reported, the “Me & U” singer filed a lawsuit in New York on Thursday under the city’s Temporary Adult Act. With a Nov. 23 deadline, Cassie told CNN that it “became clear” that she needed to “talk about the trauma” she experienced with Diddy. The producer has denied her allegations of sexual assault, physical abuse and sex trafficking through his lawyer.
Cassie’s lawyer says Diddy tried to “Quiet” Cassandra with “eight figures,” but she “rejected his efforts.” His lawyer has said the trial is the result of “clear deception” over the past six months. None of them shared social media posts about the lawsuit.

Diddy’s 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award Speech Thanking Cassie
Cassie references Diddy’s BET Lifetime Achievement Award speech on pages 1-2 of her 35-page lawsuit. Brother Love – the name he introduced to fans in 2021 – accepted the award in 2022. Towards the end of the speech, he shared his gratitude for his lover of more than 10 years.
“Yeah, also Cassie for holding me down in the dark times. Love!” Diddy said.
Diddy and Cassie met in 2005 when she was 19 and he was 37. She signed a 10-album deal with Bad Boy Records in February 2006, and they began dating publicly in 2007.
Cassie’s lawsuit, however, alleges that she was coerced into the relationship through intimidation and “forced” intimate acts. She mentions a forced kiss at a birthday celebration when she was 21 and claims that Diddy had a “sexual relationship” with her after giving her “drugs”. She claims rape, physical beatings, abuse, and forced sexual acts by male sex workers while Diddy was filming.

Cassie & Alex Fine take after her domestic violence marathon
Then, there’s Cassie’s life after she and Diddy split. In her lawsuit, Cassie detailed her struggle with the “physical and mental manifestations of her trauma.” She credits the birth of her daughters with Alex Fine for “giving her a new life.” However, she says she suffered “terrible nightmares,” “difficulty eating or sleeping,” and strained relationships with “her family.”
Her husband is not mentioned in the lawsuit at all. But on social platforms, one clip of the married couple is getting special attention amid her lawsuit.
In August 2019, Alex Fine shared a video of him and Cassie embracing him. The moment happened after he reportedly ran 50 miles for domestic violence, according to theJSMINEBRAND. The service said Fine ran from Compton to Malibu for the Haven Domestic Violence Shelter and the Compton Cowboys Youth Program.
In his caption, he wrote:
“Just the person I needed all along. Wow I am so lucky to be able to hug her after this. She makes me better in every way,” Fine wrote.
In the video, Cassie appears to be listening to Fine talking in her ear, but his words cannot be heard. At one point, she briefly closes her eyes.
