Hip-hop mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is under a microscope following Homeland Security’s raids on two properties. Now, he’s receiving public backlash following the release of footage showing him attacking Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. The star’s ex-head of security is now speaking out regarding what he remembers of Combs’ relationships with Ventura and Kim Porter. Here’s what he said about the conversations he had.

Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs’ former head of security spoke to Cassie and Kim Porter about their relationships

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ former head of security, Roger Bonds, spoke on Piers Morgan Uncensored regarding Combs’ relationships with Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and Kim Porter. According to Bonds, he witnessed unsavory behavior between Combs and Ventura and Combs and Porter. However, he didn’t see everything that went on behind closed doors. Bonds explained to Piers Morgan that he had private conversations with Ventura and Porter.

“Me and Cassie had conversations. Me and Kim had conversations,” Bonds stated. “Kim was basically telling me, she said, Bonds, I got four of them. She said, I allow these things to happen as far as him messing around with girls and stuff like that. She said, when I get tired of it, he’s gonna know.”

Bonds’ conversations with Ventura went differently. “And Cassie, you got to a point where it’s like you’re talking to your daughter,” he explained. “I’m giving her advice, but Cassie was so scared that the advice that you would give her, she would go back and tell him. And that would make you not want to talk to her, or give her advice, or tell her what she should do, because she would go back and tell him and they were alone.”

Bonds noted that Combs would call him out for speaking to Ventura. “Next thing you know, he would call you over the speaker,” he continued. “‘Yo, come to my room, come to my room. Why you talking to my girl? Why you talking to my girl?'”

Roger Bonds said he saw Sean “P. Diddy” Combs physically hurt Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and Kim Porter. He noted that Combs had a “deeper anger” that caused him to hurt women.

“I’ve seen him get very physical, grab ’em up,” Bonds said. “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.”

As for Porter, Bonds said he saw her fight back against Combs.

“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.”

The head of security says he was ‘also manipulated’ by the hip-hop star

Roger Bonds says Sean “P. Diddy” Combs “manipulated” him through the years, which is part of the reason he stayed. He also wanted to help Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

“I was also manipulated,” Bonds told Piers Morgan. “He would also apologize to me, like, ‘Yo, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Yo, that’s not gonna happen again. I’m gonna do better.’ You’d see everything going right for the next couple of weeks, next month or two. And then, all of a sudden, you would see him blow up again over something.”

“If I stayed, I felt like I could help,” he continued. “But if I leave, who’s gonna help [Ventura]? … Everybody else would turn a blind eye to her.”
