Roger Bonds, former head of security for Sean "Diddy" Combs from 2003 to 2012, has alleged that the rapper also assaulted the late Kim Porter.

"It didn't surprise me when I saw it because I've seen things to this nature before," Bonds told Piers Morgan in Piers Morgan Uncensored about Diddy's now-viral 2016 assault video. "I've gotten in between things of this nature before - and this was back in 2012."

Bonds alleged that he had witnessed the rap mogul's violence against women multiple times in the past while working as his head of security for over eight years.

"I've seen him [be violent] with Cassie and I've seen him with Kim Porter, his kids' mother," Bonds claimed, referring to the late Kim Porter, the mother of Diddy's twin daughters.

"I've seen him get into some wrestling and punching matches and sometimes I felt like, 'What are you mad at? What are you upset about?'" he furthered. "Because it's a deeper anger when you're hitting and punching a woman in that type of manner. When you have a problem with every woman that you're dealing with, then I think that problem is inside of you."

According to Bonds, he had seen Diddy "get really physical, grab them up." Bonds detailed that Diddy had "smacked" and "grabbed" Porter at times, but the actress has since fought back.

Bonds detailed an encounter in Sunset Boulevard at an unspecified date and time. He claimed that he saw Diddy's car rock back and forth. Upon curiosity, he opened the door and found an unscathed Kim getting out.

He then recalled Kim saying, "I wanna see you explain to the media the scratch Imma put across your face if you put your hand on me again."

People reported that Diddy had attempted to purchase the surveillance footage from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016 to keep the documentation of his assault from ever coming out. However, CNN got a hold of it and published it online.

"When you go through life just paying your way out, I really feel like he wasn't sorry about that - he might be sorry now that he got caught, but if that was a one-time incident, then I would say accept his apology, but I think in that apology he said what he thought people wanted to hear," Bonds said about his former boss.

Bonds wasn't the first person to work with Diddy who wasn't surprised by his actions in the brutal video.

His former assistant, Suzi Siegel, told CNN that "not one cell" in her body was surprised after seeing the footage.

"Obviously, I saw it with the rest of America today. But when I saw it, I knew that it was something that he could be capable of," Seigel added.
