Diddy trial recap: Security guard says Sean Combs handed him $100k in a paper bag for LA hotel assault video

Eddy Garcia, the security guard at the Los Angeles hotel where Sean “Diddy” Combs was captured in security footage attacking his longtime girlfriend Casandra “Cassie”Ventura, is set to take the stand.

Garcia was a security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City at the time of the infamous assault after a “freak-off” in March 2016.

Prosecutors are expected to delve into events that unfolded after Sean Combs’s attack, which allegedly involved the music mogul delivering $100,000 in a brown paper bag in an attempt to purchase the security footage.

Combs does not deny the payoff. His attorneys, however, said the payment was to avoid negative headlines.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’s former assistant “Mia” returned to the witness stand for a third and final time on Monday, kicking off the fourth week of testimony in the music mogul’s sex trafficking trial.

Mia, who was given a pseudonym to protect her identity, testified that she did not report Combs’s sexual abuse because she was “terrified and brainwashed” by him. Her testimony came after Combs’s attorney Brian Steel asked her if she told the truth when she testified last week that Combs sexually assaulted her.

“I would not lie in this courtroom,” Mia responded. “I never lied in this courtroom. Everything I have said is true.”

To spare himself from potential prosecution, security guard Eddy Garcia will testify under an immunity order. It came after he told the government that he intended to assert his Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate himself.

A woman disrupted court today when she heckled Sean “Diddy” Combs.

“Diddy, motherf****** laughing at you at every damn courtroom…it’s not a f****** game,” the woman yelled.

Judge Arun Subramanian asked the court officers to remove her.

She entered as prosecutors told Subramanian someone identified Mia, Combs’s ex-assistant, by her legal name rather than her pseudonym yesterday. The judge said he will notify court security.

A man has been barred from court after revealing the real name of Mia, Sean “Diddy” Combs’s ex-assistant who testified under a pseudonym.

The man referred to Mia by her real name on his YouTube channel and filmed outside the courthouse yesterday, prosecutors told Judge Arun Subramanian.

Subramanian has now barred the man from court.

Eddy Garcia, a security employee at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, has taken the stand.

Prosecutors are expected to delve into events that unfolded after the infamous assault, which they have said involved the music mogul delivering $100,000 in a brown paper bag to purchase the security footage.

Garcia signed an immunity order, meaning he won’t be prosecuted for what he says on the stand as long as he’s telling the truth.
