Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former head of security, Roger Bonds, has criticized the rapper for “pretending to be sorry” in a recent apology video following the emergence of a 2016 video showing him assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
On Sunday, May 19, Diddy posted a video addressing the clip that CNN published on May 17, which showed him assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016.
In his apology, Diddy did not directly name Cassie. He acknowledged his actions and claimed he has changed after seeking therapy for his violent behavior towards women.
He added, “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you have to do that. I was f***ed up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.”
Reacting to the video, Roger Bonds, who served as Diddy’s head of security from 2003 to 2012, accused the rapper of not only abusing Cassie but also the late actress Kim Porter, who was in a 13-year relationship with Diddy.
Bonds questioned whether Diddy was also at rock bottom when he assaulted Kim Porter, the mother of his children, or when he assaulted his ex, Gina Huynh.
Bonds also suggested Diddy has victimized more women writing, “I guess you sorry and was at rock bottom for YRS AND YRS CAUSE YOU WAS WHIPPING NOT ONLY HER ASS & KIMS ASS BUT OTHERS TO. LETS REFLECT!! HARLEM TO HOLLYWOOD SOON COME.”
Gina Huynh, who goes by the nickname Virginia V, once claimed that the rapper stomped on her stomach and punched her in the head during their five-year relationship.
Huynh made these allegations in a 2019 interview, which resurfaced in 2023 following Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit against Diddy.
“He stomped on my stomach really hard — like, took the wind out of my breath,” Huynh told blogger Tasha K at the time. “I couldn’t breathe. He kept hitting me. I was pleading to him, ‘Can you just stop? I can’t breathe.’”
Huynh, 31, claimed that the rapper, 54, grabbed her by the hair and repeatedly punched the back of her head. Eventually, she began fighting back because she had “enough of his s–t.” After Kim Porter’s death, many accused Diddy of foul play, suggesting she was killed because she was planning to release a tell-all book.
Now, with his former head of security alleging that Diddy assaulted both Kim Porter and Gina Huynh, internet users are revisiting the circumstances surrounding Kim’s death. However, some have criticized the bodyguard for not intervening during the alleged abuse.
