On the morning of Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, former hotel security supervisor Eddy Garcia testified about a 2016 incident involving Combs and his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Garcia recounted that Combs paid $100,000 in cash to obtain surveillance footage showing him assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. Garcia, who was earning $10.50 per hour at the time, described signing a confidentiality agreement under threat of a $1 million penalty and claimed he never deposited the money to avoid leaving a paper trail. The video, which later resurfaced, is a key piece of evidence in the government's case, supporting allegations that Combs used threats and his wealth to coerce women into participating in sex acts during events known as "freak-offs" at various hotels .
Garcia's testimony also included details about Combs' attempts to suppress the video, including multiple conversations in which Combs expressed fear that the footage would ruin his career. Garcia stated that Combs referred to him as "Eddy my angel" and emphasized the importance of keeping the incident confidential. The defense contends that Ventura’s participation in the events was consensual, while prosecutors argue that Combs' actions fit into a broader pattern of abuse and coercion. Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could face a life sentence .
