Diddy’s former bodyguard is speaking out about the rapper’s recent legal woes and allegations. Appearing in The Downfall of Diddy (via Yahoo News), former bodyguard Gene Deal claims that celebrities aren’t the only ones who should be nervous about those alleged videotapes.
“I don’t think it’s just celebrities that are going to be shook,” Deal claimed. “He had politicians in there — he had princes in there. He also had a couple of preachers in there.”
TMZ executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere also said that Diddy was “allegedly obsessed with recording everything that went on in his home.” Meanwhile, former Bad Boy Records artist Mark Curry said that there were numerous cameras at the residence.
He said, “If they had 250 cameras they took out of his house, they have a whole bunch of images of footage of things that were going on around [Combs’] house. A lot of people might be running from that tape.”

Former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day also claimed to have inside knowledge on what’s been going on with the rapper. “I knew all of that was going on,” O’Day said. “I knew the whole time.”
O’Day said people are also scared.
“I was literally text messaging producers, employers. From top to bottom levels like, ‘Y’all know what the f–k you saw.’ People were scared. If you know enough, you likely would be reasonable in being scared,” O’Day replied. O’Day claims that people are scared of being murdered. “Anything you possibly could, Harvey. A flat tire, being murdered … I don’t know. There’s a lot of things people fear.”
Meanwhile, Diddy’s lawyer Aaron Dyer claims his client’s innocence. They also condemned the authorities’ use of force on Diddy’s residence.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” Dyer’s statement began. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.”
The statement continued, “Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
