(NewsNation) — Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ former head of security, Roger Bands, says his ex-boss flew women across state lines for parties and invited men he’d “never seen before” into the hotel rooms.
Bonds worked for Diddy as his head of security for more than a decade, from 2003 to 2012, and was with him almost 24/7 during that time. He’s named in Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s lawsuit as the man who “saved her life.”
“There’s definitely times that he was abusive physically,” Bonds said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “CUOMO.” Diddy and Ventura “were at a dinner and she was talking to a manager. He got very upset about that and got very abusive that day. I grabbed him and said, ‘What are you doing?’ Some of the damage was already done.”
In Ventura’s lawsuit, the singer claims that Diddy supplied her with drugs, beat her, forced her to sleep with male prostitutes while filming her and forced his way into her home and raped her.
Bonds said he doesn’t know exactly what Diddy was doing in hotel rooms.
“I have seen people that I haven’t ever seen in my life. Guys that I’ve never seen before go into a hotel room with them (Diddy and Ventura), and I know that only they was in the room. What actually went on or if they were forced to do it, or how much they got paid? I didn’t know about that.”
“I think a lot of things that he’s being accused with is the norm. I think that’s part of Hollywood. I think that’s the rich culture. And I think a lot of them is scared to come forward,” Bonds added.
It’s been more than a month since two homes belonging to Diddy were raided by federal investigators, and law enforcement has released few details as to potential charges the music producer could be facing.
Department of Homeland Security agents conducted the raids March 25 at Combs’ multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angeles and his Miami waterfront home. The raids came as the producer faces a mounting list of civil lawsuits that allege abuse and sexual assault by multiple victims spanning over 30 years.
Combs has denied all the allegations.
