Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-bodyguard claims he saw the rapper being violent toward women 'four or five times'

The former bodyguard of Sean “Diddy” Combs claimed that he saw the latter being violent toward women—amid the abuse allegations the embattled hip-hop mogul is facing.

In an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, Roger Bonds was asked about his time working for Combs as his head of security, and whether he witnessed Combs being violent toward women.

“Around four or five times,” Bonds said. "I've seen him with Cassie [Ventura], and I've seen him with Kim [Porter], his kids' mother.”

He allegedly witnessed Combs get into “wrestling and punching matches” with women.

In line with the surfaced 2016 surveillance video that showed Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Ventura, Bonds said it didn’t surprise him, saying Combs is “up to the same games.”

“I’ve seen things to this nature before," he said of Combs’s alleged past actions. "I've gotten in between things of this nature before, and this was back in 2012."

Combs, in a video posted on Instagram, apologized over the video, saying his behavior is "inexcusable." He said he sought professional help afterward.

Combs has been the target of several civil lawsuits that characterize him as a violent sexual predator who used alcohol and drugs to subdue his victims, and his homes were raided this year by federal agents.

One of the cases involved Ventura, who in November 2023 settled “amicably” with him after filing rape and physical abuse cases against him.

Last March, armed agents from Homeland Security Investigations carried out raids on Comb’s homes in the United States.

Combs, who has not been criminally convicted, vehemently denied all allegations against him.
