CASSIE Ventura's husband has publicly posted a seething letter condemning his wife's alleged abuser Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Personal trainer Alex Fine, 31, went on a passionate tirade against domestic abusers just hours after shocking footage emerged backing up Cassie's brave claims that she was assaulted by the rap mogul back in 2016.

The horrific CCTV clip appears to show Combs, 54, physically assaulting Cassie, 37, in a hotel hallway leaving her on the floor motionless.

Despite the music mogul denying any abuse claims, Cassie first mentioned the March 5, attack in a lawsuit against the Bad Boy mastermind in November 2023.

She made the bombshell allegations recalling that an "extremely intoxicated" Combs "punched her in the face, giving her a black eye".

The footage was released publicly by CNN on Friday.

Alex quickly put out a post responding to seeing his loving wife being attacked as he gracefully addressed the situation.

Taking to his Instagram, the 31-year-old said: "Men who hit women aren't men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren't men.

"Violence against women shouldn't be inevitable... Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives should feel protected and loved.

"Men who hurt women hate women."

The professional bull rider then seemingly aimed an explosive but brave message at "miserable" men like Diddy saying: "To the abusers, you're done, you're not safe anymore, you're not protected anymore."

In the accompanying caption, Alex explained he wrote the letter some time ago but waited to post it at a suitable moment.

Alex and Cassie married in 2019 - just one year after Diddy was out of the picture.

Now happily together, the couple share two daughters in four-year-old Frankie and two-year-old Sunnie.

GUT-WRENCHING FOOTAGE

The disturbing surveillance footage shows Combs, holding a towel around his waist, chasing after Cassie as she waited for an elevator at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

Combs then forcefully strikes Cassie before throwing her on the floor and kicking her as she lies motionless.

The rapper grabs her bag and purse, continues his assault, and proceeds to drag her across the elevator bank into the hallway.

A second camera angle obtained by CNN showed the moments after the assault as Cassie slowly stood up to get her belongings.

Combs sits on a chair directly in front of a distraught Cassie as she tries to grab her phone.

Moments later, Combs grabs what appears to be a vase from a table and aggressively launches it at Cassie.

Cassie's attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, described the footage as "gut-wrenching".

Court documents read: "Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited, Mr. Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura.

"He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her.

"He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallways and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape."

In the lawsuit, Cassie claimed that Combs paid the same hotel $50,000 (£39,000) for the footage of the attack to keep it under wraps.

Cassie was seen with several bruises on her body just 48-hours after she alleges the rapper attacked her.

The couple were seen on the red carpet holding hands ahead of a movie premiere with Cassie riddled with marks.

Three clear bruises can be seen on her legs with another nasty bump showing on her left shoulder.

Cassie also sued her ex claiming she was raped alongside a range of other offenses. 

Both parties shockingly settled the entire lawsuit a day after the documents were filed in federal court.

Combs' lawyer Ben Brafman spoke on the lawsuit at the time saying: "Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.

"For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura's persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail."

He described the claims as "riddled with baseless and outrageous lies".

Neither Combs nor his legal team have commented on the newly released video.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Combs' team for comment.

It comes as a pair of homes linked to the hip-hop star were reportedly raided by federal agents, earlier this year.

Dramatic video showed the moment heavily armed Homeland Security officers descended on a home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, in March.

Several individuals were later seen in handcuffs sitting on the lawn of the Holmby Hills mansion.

Homeland Security has been tight-lipped about what was being searched for but videos from the California raid showed it completely turned upside down.

Cabinets were thrown open and papers, clothes, and other items were scattered around the home.

As doors were ripped off their frames and secret safes expertly cracked open.

Diddy's attorney, Aaron Dyer, blasted the raids as an "overuse of military-level force" in the team's first remarks since federal agents stormed the properties.

Dyer went on to clarify that Combs "was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities."
