Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie appeared to be in good spirits as she broke cover for the first time since the rap mogul’s shocking arrest.
Cassie, 38, real name Casandra Ventura, stepped out in New York City on Thursday in stylish yoga pants, sports top and sunglasses, and wore a huge smile on her face as she waved to fans.
It comes almost a year after Cassie settled a scathing lawsuit with Diddy in November the day after she filed it, in which she accused the mogul of subjecting her to physical and sexual abuse during their decade-long relationship.
This was followed in May with the release of horrifying leaked surveillance camera footage showing him beating her up in a hotel corridor in 2016.
Her claims triggered a wave of other allegations from Diddy’s alleged victims, ultimately leading New York prosecutors to indict the disgraced producer this week on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.

Cassie’s lawsuit led at least nine others to file similar civil lawsuits, which insiders warn could lead Diddy’s $400 million fortune to evaporate at the same time he faces a lengthy prison stretch.
The Me & U singer dated Diddy, real name Sean Combs, on and off for over a decade until they broke up for good in 2018.
She went on to marry fitness trainer Alex Fine in 2019, and the pair now have two young daughters together, named Sunny and Frankie.
While she put on a jovial display on Thursday as she stepped out in public for the first time since Diddy’s arrest, Cassie has notably stayed silent as the spotlight falls on her ex.
In a statement to DailyMail.com after the indictment was unsealed this week, Douglas Wigdor, a lawyer for Cassie, said that ‘neither Ms. Ventura nor I have any comment.’

Cassie’s appearance on the streets of New York City comes three days after Diddy was taken into custody in a late-night arrest by federal authorities in a Manhattan hotel.
Officials unsealed the indictment against him on Tuesday, charging the producer with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He pleaded not guilty in a bail hearing that saw his legal team try and fail to win his freedom by offering the court a $50 million bail package.
The package included putting his $48 million Miami mansion and mother’s $2 million apartment up as collateral, but a judge rejected the proposal and cited the severe crimes Diddy is accused of.
At the center of allegations against Diddy are so-called ‘freak off’ sessions where the rapper would allegedly coerce and drug women into performing lengthy sexual marathons.
