Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ former head of security, Roger Bonds, spoke about Combs’ behavior after leaked security footage showed him attacking Casandra “Cassie” Ventura at the InterContinental Hotel Century City. Bonds spoke on Piers Morgan Uncensored about Combs’ violent behavior that he witnessed in the past.

“How many times did you personally witness him be violent towards women?” Piers Morgan asked Bonds.

“Around four or five times,” Bonds answered. ” … I seen him with Cassie, and I seen him with Kim Porter, his kid’s mother.”

Porter dated Combs from the 1990s to 2007 and had three children: their son, Christian, and twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie. Porter died suddenly from lobar pneumonia in 2018. While Porter and Combs were no longer dating at the time of her death, Combs expressed serious grief when she died.

“I’ve seen him get physical,” Bonds continued to Morgan. “I’ve seen him get very physical, grab ’em up. It was one time that Cassie mentioned inside her lawsuit where she said she had to go over to the London hotel. I was the one who was checking on her every day at the London hotel, you know what I’m saying? So, I know that to be true. I seen him getting into some rustling and punching matches, and sometimes, I felt like, what are you mad at? What are you upset about? Because it’s a deeper anger when you hitting and punching a woman in that type of manner.”

As for Combs’ behavior toward Porter, Bonds noted that he saw Combs “grab her up” inside of a car. “I seen him smack her, you know?” Bonds said. “One thing about Kim is, Kim got to the point where she fought back because she realized how powerful she was.”

He described an incident on Sunset Boulevard in front of The Beverly Hills Hotel, where he saw Combs and Porter’s car “rocking back and forth,” so he opened the car door.

“I said, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing? You see where we at? What are you doing?'” Bonds said of Combs. “And Kim got out the car like nothing happened, and she fixed her hair, and she told him. She said, ‘I want to see you explain to the media that scratch I’mma put across your face if you put your hands on me again.”

“That was Kim attitude,” Bonds added. “Kim attitude was, she realized that what he had to explain meant more to him than anything, and once she realized she had that power, she said, nah, not no more.”
