The case against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs keeps escalating as new and unsettling allegations emerge. A former security guard has now testified against the Bad Boy Records founder, alleging that he attacked his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and then attempted to cover it up. The former guard, Eddy Garcia, has said in his statement that he was paid to recover the only copy of the footage of the attack, captured by the hotel’s surveillance camera.
Former Security Guard Eddy Garcia’s Testimony About Diddy
Garcia told the Manhattan court that he was first contacted by Diddy’s chief of staff, Krishna Khorram. Krishna offered the guard money to secure the camera footage. He then received a total of $100,000 in cash from Diddy himself. The money was handed to Eddy Garcia in a brown paper bag, and he was promised more future opportunities to do business with Diddy’s team. However, the former guard said he never heard from Diddy or his team again.
The footage emerged in 2023 and went viral when CNN aired a phone-recorded version of it. Another hotel staff member had secretly filmed the screen monitor of the surveillance footage. Neither Sean nor his team knew about this copy.
This video and the guard’s testimony have become a pivotal point in the case against Diddy. It directly confirms the fact that the rapper was abusive towards women and actively tried to silence his victims.
