Bonds Speaks Out
On Nov. 16, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship.
The lawsuit was later settled, with the hip-hop mogul agreeing to the terms within 24 hours of it being filed. Following the settlement, Diddy’s former bodyguard, Roger Bonds, decided to share his perspective.
Taking to his Instagram story, Bonds wrote:
“This is not meant to be threats or snitching or anything like that against Cassie or Diddy or anyone else. this is me telling my truth as I truly remember it for 2 reasons only, 1st because I have 4 daughter so on all duded my truth as I seen it, saw it and was involved with it for yrs.” He continued, “Now that my name is involved I will tell my TRUTH.”
The Statement
Cassie’s court document mentioned Bonds as a witness to an alleged assault she claims she suffered at the hands of Diddy in 2009.
According to Cassie, the Bad Boy CEO became violent after learning she was talking to another music manager at a club in Los Angeles. Cassie also alleged that Diddy stomped on her in the car afterward, with Bonds trying to intervene to stop his boss.
In response to Roger Bonds, fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts. One fan named @luckylandtimes wrote, ‘The witness MEN need to be putting a BEAT DOWN on these hitters. Stop turning ya’lls head and school these cowards in real time.”
Another fan named @uzoplease wrote, ‘Diddy’s former bodyguard who Cassie named in her lawsuit is speaking out, long may this continue.”

“That’s Kim story. That’s Kim’s book. Didn’t you hear about the fact that he broke Kim’s nose on a yacht? He continued, “But it was told by people in her camp that he broke Kim’s nose on yacht. So, Cassie’s story is Kim’s story.”
