LA Hotel Security Guard Testifies in Diddy Assault Trial

The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs continues in New York, focusing on serious charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Key testimony includes that of Eddy Garcia, a security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, who was on duty during Combs's 2016 assault on his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, as captured on security footage. Prosecutors allege Combs attempted to buy the security footage for $100,000 to suppress evidence of the attack. Combs’s former assistant, identified as Mia, testified over three days that she was “terrified and brainwashed” by Combs and did not report his alleged sexual abuse earlier. Combs, arrested in September 2024, denies all allegations of wrongdoing. Meanwhile, unrelated to the trial, Combs’s costume from the movie "Monster’s Ball" is up for auction, highlighting his varied career beyond music.
