Inside Cassie’s ‘normal’ life out of the spotlight after fleeing US post-Diddy trial
Casandra “Cassie” Ventura is living a “normal” life after she and her family fled the US following Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial.
“Cassie is doing really well and prefers a low-key life out of the spotlight now,” a source told Us Weekly Wednesday.
The “Me & U” singer, 39, is “living a very ‘normal’ life now and [is] focused on family, routines and being present, and that’s been really grounding and healing for her,” the insider added.
The source said Cassie — who shares daughters Frankie, 6, and Sunny, 5, and a son, 1, with husband Alex Fine — wants to “be a good example for her kids, especially the girls.”
“At the end of the day, her biggest priority is her kids,” the insider claimed to Us Weekly.
“She wants to be a strong, healthy example for them and show them what it looks like to choose yourself, set boundaries and move forward even after really difficult experiences. That’s what’s driving her now more than anything,” they added.
As Page Six previously reported, Cassie and her family fled the country, according to court documents filed last month.
Last June, male sex worker Clayton Howard filed a $35 million lawsuit against the “Long Way 2 Go” songstress and Combs, 56, claiming they were involved in sex trafficking and that the musicians manipulated and exploited him.
Howard claimed Cassie was an active participant in the alleged crimes, which she denied.
However, in a May 1 declaration, the model contested: “I reside outside of the United States. I do not intend to move back to the United States.”
She also noted, “I am a citizen of the United States. I am not a resident of the State of California.”
It’s unclear when Cassie and her family relocated to and where she now resides.
The pop star was one of several people who testified in Combs’ highly publicized sex trafficking trial last year.
During her testimony, Cassie alleged that the Revolt co-founder raped and abused her and forced a male escort to urinate in her mouth during a “Freak-Off” party.
Combs was acquitted of his more serious charges but was found guilty of two counts of prostitution.
The “Last Night” emcee was sentenced to four years and two months behind bars. Page Six exclusively reported that he is set to be released in April 2028.
