P. Diddy’s former bodyguard is speaking out against the rapper, making shocking new allegations.
As even more allegations and accusations come forth regarding P. Diddy’s behavior and misconduct, those who’ve worked for him are speaking out about it.
In an interview for The Art of Dialogue, Gene Deal, P. Diddy’s former bodyguard is making shocking accusations, mentioning Cassie Ventura and what the rapper was doing in Turkish baths three times a week.
In his interview, Deal, a long-time celebrity bodyguard turned author, says that the rapper Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy, had his protection details wait for him in shops while buying sex aids. The former bodyguard also alleges the rapper used to visit Turkish baths up to three times per week, saying “That’s where a lot of gay men meet and they all take hot baths together.”
Not only that but the 54-year-old bodyguard also says the rapper made his then-girlfriend, Ventura, hire male escorts on his behalf. Deal says that’s because P. Diddy didn’t want those encounters to be traced back to him.
Who Is Gene Deal?
Gene Deal, a former celebrity bodyguard, has done extensive protection work for Bad Boy Records and was P. Diddy’s personal bodyguard for a number of years. He was even on the scene as Puffy’s personal bodyguard on the night rapper The Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed.
After decades in the protection industry, Deal has retired to focus on other endeavors. He even wrote and published a 2022 book detailing his childhood, early career, and work as a bodyguard to some of the biggest names in hip hop.
What This Means for Celebrity Protection
Gene Deal, who seems to be detailing P. Diddy’s life to the public, is hardly the first celebrity bodyguard to do so. In fact, some of the biggest names in music and entertainment have had their former bodyguards come out with secrets and scandals detailing their principals’ private lives.
Kanye West’s former bodyguard is apparently making a damning documentary about the rapper. Beyonce’s former bodyguard is claiming in a TikTok video that the singer and her husband, Jay Z, have threatened, intimidated, and bullied numerous people they perceived as competition.
But what does this mean for celebrity protection and the future of the industry? How can celebrities and HNWIs be certain that their lives won’t be revealed to the public once they end someone’s employment?
