Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs’ former head of security talked about Combs’ drug usage with Cassie

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and Casandra “Cassie” Ventura dated from 2007 to 2018. Ventura alleged that Combs sexually trafficked and physically abused her during their time together. In May 2024, Combs’ former head of security, Roger Bonds, spoke on Piers Morgan Uncensored about what he witnessed between Ventura and Combs.

During the interview, Piers Morgan mentioned Ventura’s lawsuit in 2023. According to the lawsuit, Combs “urged and supplied” drugs to Ventura. Morgan asked Bonds whether he saw evidence of this as a security guard.

“I definitely witnessed that,” Bonds said. “Drugs were a regular thing there for both of them. I didn’t have no idea that he was forcing her, though. But that was the thing that they would do, you know what I’m saying? Partying, they would go to the hotel for the weekends. They would have, I guess, what they were calling the ‘freak-offs,’ I guess.”

Morgan clarified that a “freak-off” happened when Combs forced Ventura to have sex with other men while he filmed the abuse.

“Yes, that’s what they say it is,” Bonds said, adding that he believed it was happening frequently.

“He’s a king manipulator,” Bonds continued. “He can manipulate anything and anyone. Money and power is what he’s all about.”

In Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s lawsuit against Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, she describes him pushing a “drug-fueled lifestyle” on her. According to the lawsuit, Combs introduced Ventura to opiates in 2008.

“Mr. Combs secured his control over the young and impressionable Ms. Ventura by introducing her to a drug-fueled lifestyle that kept her complacent and compliant,” the lawsuit stated, according to Radar Online. The documents added that Combs “would often have pills and other drugs out in the open ‘like candy.’”

“At first, Ms. Ventura was given the prescriptions that Mr. Combs received from a doctor in Miami, Florida. Eventually, when Mr. Combs exhausted his supply of pills, he demanded that Ms. Ventura procure prescriptions from this Miami doctor in her own name,” the lawsuit added.

During “freak-offs,” which were called “FOs” in the lawsuit, Ventura alleged that Combs gave her drugs and alcohol before the sexual encounters. “Ms. Ventura was given ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana, and alcohol in excessive amounts during FOs,” the documents state.

She spoke out on Instagram following the release of the hotel footage

In May 2024, the footage was released that showed Sean “P. Diddy” Combs physically assaulting Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in a hotel hallway. Ventura posted a response to Instagram.

“Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers, and those I have yet to meet,” she posted. “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.
