<p id=”par-2_64″>After Combs and Ventura broke up, she began dating Fine, her personal trainer. Combs reportedly asked Ventura to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-demanded-money-cassie-began-dating-current-husband.html/”>pay him back</a> for the money he spent on Fine. The defense also alleges that Fine sent Combs threatening messages. Because of this, Geragos said they could call on him as a witness. She asked the judge to eject Fine from the courtroom <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/cassie-took-stand-early-litigator-reveals-strategy-surprise-move-diddy-trial.html/”>as Ventura testified</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-3_42″>“Mr. Fine sent several threatening texts to Combs that he’d like ‘to beat the f-word out of him,’” Geragos said, per <a target=”_blank” href=”https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/us-news/diddy-trial-live-updates-05-13-2025/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The New York Post</a>. “There’s three areas of possible testimony that we might have to call him on our direct case.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_32″>Ultimately, the judge decided to let Fine remain in the courtroom for all testimony except that relating to Ventura’s rape allegations against Combs (via <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.yahoo.com/news/cassie-venturas-husband-alex-fine-125200760.html” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Yahoo!</a>). If convicted, Combs faces life in prison.</p>
