In a shocking revelation, Roger Bonds, the former head of security for Sean “Diddy” Combs, told Piers Morgan on Monday that he witnessed the music mogul “get physical” with his ex-girlfriends Cassie Ventura and Kim Porter on multiple occasions. This explosive claim comes amidst the backdrop of disturbing allegations and legal battles that have recently surfaced against Diddy.
A History of Violence
Bonds, who worked closely with Diddy, shared that he saw the music icon become violent with Cassie and Kim Porter “four or five times” during his tenure. His statements add weight to the serious accusations against Diddy, who has been a dominant figure in the music industry for decades.
The Apology Video: Too Little, Too Late?
Diddy recently posted an apology video on Instagram after CNN released distressing footage from 2016 showing him assaulting Cassie in a hotel. In the video, Diddy admitted, “I was f**ked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom.” He claimed to have sought professional help, saying, “I take full responsibility for my actions in that video — disgusting. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now.”
However, Bonds criticized the apology, stating, “He’s up to the same games. He never mentioned Cassie’s name in that apology, so to me he didn’t humble himself enough. I think he said what people wanted to hear, not what he felt.” Bonds further accused Diddy of being a “king manipulator” and possessing a “god syndrome.”
Kim Porter’s Struggles
Kim Porter, a model and actress who had three children with Diddy, passed away in 2018. Bonds revealed that Porter eventually fought back against Diddy’s control, recognizing her own power. “Kim got to the point where she fought back because she realized how powerful she was,” Bonds said, shedding light on the tumultuous relationship that ended in 2007.
The Dark Side
Bonds described Diddy’s attempts to hide his dark side and manipulate those around him. “There was this dark side of him that he was trying to hide and that he wanted me to say didn’t exist. And I can’t say that it didn’t exist if it did exist,” Bonds asserted. He also expressed that more allegations are likely to surface, adding, “I feel like there’s going to be other people that come forward.”
Legal Battles and Settlements
Diddy is currently facing multiple serious charges, including rape, gang rape, sex trafficking, and drugging. Despite these severe allegations, he will not face charges for the 2016 assault on Cassie due to the statute of limitations. The Los Angeles DA announced that the incident is “beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.”
The legal troubles for Diddy began last year when Cassie sued him for sexual assault and abuse. Although the lawsuit was settled the next day, Cassie’s bravery in coming forward has opened the floodgates for other accusations against Diddy.
A Pattern of Abuse?
Bonds’ revelations paint a troubling picture of a man who has long been revered in the music world but may have been hiding a dark and abusive nature. The accounts from Bonds, combined with the recent allegations and legal challenges, suggest a pattern of behavior that is deeply concerning.
As more details emerge, fans and the public alike are left to grapple with the complex legacy of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The revelations from his former bodyguard may just be the beginning of a much larger and more troubling story.
