Cassie Ventura says she will not move back to the United States
cassie ventura says she lives outside the United States and does not intend to move back. The declaration lands inside a legal file, not a public appearance, and it turns a personal relocation into part of the record tied to her case with male escort Clayton Howard.
On Monday, June 1, she wrote, “I reside outside of the United States. I do not intend to move back to the United States.” She also said New York is more convenient for court hearings than California, a practical detail that tells lawyers where the case fits into her schedule now.
June 1 filing in New York
The declaration was filed in her lawsuit against Clayton Howard. That puts Cassie back in court paperwork after she settled her sexual assault and human trafficking lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, the case that has followed her name through 2023 and beyond.
Sean Combs paid her $20 million in November 2023, one day after she filed that lawsuit. His lawyer said at the time, “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” and added that the settlement did not undermine his “flat-out denial of the claims.”
$20 million and November 2023
The payment matters because it closed one major chapter before this new declaration opened another. Cassie was linked to Combs between 2005 and 2018, married personal trainer Alex Fine in August 2019, and now shares three children with him. That timeline makes the June 1 filing less about a one-off address change than about where she is conducting the legal aftermath of a very public break.
Last summer, Cassie was pregnant when she testified in Combs’ criminal trial, which placed her in the middle of the legal proceedings while also managing family life. The filing does not say where she relocated, but it does make one part of her position plain: she is not planning a return to the United States.

For readers tracking the case, the practical answer is straightforward. Cassie is handling court matters from outside the country, and the declaration points to New York as the easier forum for hearings than California. That is the operative fact now, and it keeps her legal and personal geography aligned with the same choice: stay abroad, keep the case moving, and leave the United States off the table.
