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

Diddy's $100,000 Silencing Attempt: Security Guard's Testimony Shakes Sex-Trafficking Trial The Sean "Diddy" Combs sex-trafficking and racketeering trial took a dramatic turn with the testimony of Eddy Garcia, a former hotel security guard. Garcia revealed that Combs paid him $100,000 to keep a 2016 video of an assault on Cassie Ventura under wraps. This video, now central to the prosecution's case, shows Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Garcia stated, "He kept repeating that I sounded like a good guy and he believed I could help." The payment, made in cash, was facilitated by Combs' chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, who repeatedly contacted Garcia. Khorram denies any wrongdoing. The prosecution is emphasizing this incident as evidence of a conspiracy to cover up criminal activity. The trial continues.
