Former Hotel Security Guard Testifies in Court About Abuse Video
After the incident was settled, Eddy Garcia testified about seeing the video footage of Combs abusing ex Cassie Ventura.
Once the drama was settled, Eddy Garcia was called to testify. He worked as a security guard at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016 on the day the rapper was seen violently kicking and dragging ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in surveillance video footage from a hallway.
Garcia claimed Combs paid off security $100,000 in cash to obtain what he believed was the only copy of the video. Garcia admitted he was worried about accepting the bribe, especially if Ventura decided to file charges against the mogul.
However, Diddy convinced him he would be fine, assuring the guard Ventura "wanted [the video] gone too."

"He kept repeating that I sounded like a good guy and he said I could help with the video footage. He said it would ruin his career. I apologized and told him I was only a security officer and didn't have access," Garcia said on the stand. "I did not have the credentials to get to the server room where the original footage was."
Garcia informed his boss, who got hold of a USB with the footage. Garcia then gave it to Combs, who made him sign a NDA that came with a $1 million fee if violated, and he gave him the $100,000 in cash in return. Garcia split the money with two of his colleagues.
Combs Paid Hotel Security $100,000 for the Video Footage
Though Diddy thought he had the only copy of the footage, CNN released it last year.
Despite making the deal, CNN released the footage in May 2024 after Combs denied ever attacking Ventura.
He then apologized for his behavior in a social media video, expressing, "I was f----- 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."
"I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. Had to go into therapy, go into rehab," he continued. "Had to ask God for His mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry."
Combs was arrested in September 2024, with Ventura having already testified about the abuse she endured during their on-off romance, which spanned from 2007 to 2018.
