Diddy paid Garcia for what he thought was the only copy of the now-infamous video of him beating Cassie Ventura.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At this point in time, most of us have seen the footage from the CCTV in the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles: a drugged-up Cassie Ventura tries to flee a \u2018freakout\u2019 sex marathon, only to be chased and brutally beat up by a disgraced rapper Sean \u2018Diddy\u2019 Combs holding a towel around his waist.<\/p>\n

But yesterday (3), on Diddy\u2019s trial, security guard Eddy Garcia, who worked at the ritzy hotel, dropped a bomb in court Tuesday, revealing how the disgraced rapper \u2018paid him a $100,000 bribe to make the footage disappear\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

Garcia testified with immunity, so he can\u2019t be prosecuted for taking the bribe or anything else related to his testimony.<\/p>\n

He told jurors that Diddy promised to \u2018take care of him\u2019 if the guard helped him get the surveillance video of the beating.<\/p>\n

As the 15th day of testimony got underway in Diddy\u2019s federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial in NYC, the prosecution called Eddy Garcia to the stand \u2026 he was the security supervisor at the\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/v63ZIk4Su2<\/a><\/p>\n

Garcia told the jury that after Combs beat Ventura, he and his chief of staff Kristina Khorram kept trying to enlist him to help them make the video go away.<\/p>\n

New York Post<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring one call with Combs, he \u2018sounded very nervous. He was talking fast. He said he had a little too much to drink, said one thing led to another\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

On another call, Combs told Garcia, \u2018I sounded like a good guy. That I wanted to help \u2026 he said something like this could ruin him. He was concerned that this video could get out and that it could ruin his career\u2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEddy Garcia said he and his boss, Bill Medrano, agreed to take payoffs to get the Bad Boy Records founder the only known copy of the surveillance video from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles that captured the March 5, 2016, beatdown.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When Garcia agreed to take the bribe, the rapper was excited, he testified.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedrano put a copy of the footage on a USB stick for Garcia and sent the employee to an address for the Combs meeting, assuring him he would cover for the security guard at work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Diddy warmly greeted the guard, calling him \u2018Eddy, my angel\u2019, and asked if the video on the USB stick was the only copy.<\/p>\n

The mogul called Ventura on FaceTime, saying that \u2018she wanted it to go away too\u2019.<\/p>\n

Then Diddy took out a brown paper bag with $100,000 in stacks of $10,000. Garcia\u2019s boss Medrano took $50,000.<\/p>\n

The mogul told him \u2018not to make any big purchases\u2019 with the money.<\/p>\n

If convicted, Diddy may be sentenced to life in prison.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Later, Diddy called Garcia on Easter.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, \u2018Happy Easter. You are my angel. God is good. God put you in my life for a reason\u2019. And he asked if anyone had inquired about the video,\u201d Garcia told jurors. Garcia informed the Bad Boy Records founder that he hadn\u2019t received any questions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When federal investigators finally came calling about his involvement in getting the video of him beating his girlfriend Cassie Ventura, he lied to them before lawyering up for his next meeting and admitting to taking the bribe.<\/p>\n
