Diddy Paid $100,000 to Bury Assault Video, Security Guard Testifies

Diddy's alleged attempt to bury assault video: A CNN investigation reveals shocking details. New York, June 4, 2025. A former security guard, Eddie Garcia, testified that Sean "Diddy" Combs paid him $100,000 to conceal a video of an assault on Cassie Ventura in 2016 at the InterContinental Hotel. Garcia's testimony detailed numerous calls from Kristina Khorram, who identified herself as Combs' personal assistant. "She kept calling, pressuring me to get rid of the video," Garcia stated. The video, obtained by CNN, shows the alleged assault and its aftermath. Combs himself reportedly called Garcia, reassuring him and offering an NDA printed on Combs Enterprises letterhead. The NDA stipulated a $1 million penalty for breaching the contract. Combs then allegedly gave Garcia the money in a brown paper bag. Garcia said, "It seemed like he'd done this before." This case highlights the lengths some may go to suppress damaging information. The legal implications of Combs' alleged actions remain to be seen.
