Diddy Paid $100,000 to Suppress Assault Video: Security Guard Testifies

Diddy's Trial Takes a Turn: Security Guard Reveals $100,000 Deal Over Assault Video The ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs took a dramatic turn this week with testimony from Eddy Garcia, a former security guard at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Garcia, testifying under immunity, revealed a secret deal he made with Combs involving surveillance footage from March 2016. The footage allegedly shows Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. According to Garcia, Combs' assistant contacted him about the video, expressing concern over its contents. Garcia described Combs as "very nervous" and "talking very fast" during a phone call where he negotiated a payment for the footage. Initially, the price was set at $50,000, but Combs ultimately paid $100,000. Garcia handed over the video on a USB drive after signing a non-disclosure agreement. "He sounded very nervous," Garcia testified, describing the phone call with Combs. "He was talking very fast." The video's release could have potentially damaged Combs' reputation, and he was clearly anxious about the consequences. This high-stakes transaction highlights the lengths to which Combs allegedly went to suppress the evidence. The testimony has raised questions about the extent of Combs' involvement in the alleged assault and the potential cover-up. Further investigation is needed to ascertain the full story and ensure justice is served.
