Gene Deal, a former bodyguard for Sean "Diddy" Combs, has offered startling insight into the mogul’s relationship with Kirk Burrowes, co-founder and former president of Bad Boy Entertainment. Deal’s revelations come as Burrowes pursues legal action against Diddy, accusing him of coercion, sexual harassment, and physical aggression. Deal made claims that the mogul and Kirk Burrowes had a romantic relationship while speaking to Art of Dialogue.
While Diddy has never admitted to a relationship with Burrowes, Deal shared his accounts with them together. He also claimed Burrowes privately shared disturbing accounts of Diddy’s alleged mistreatment of his own mother. According to Deal, Burrowes recounted an incident in which Diddy slapped Janice Combs. Deal expressed disbelief at the revelation, describing his shock upon hearing the claim. These allegations add to the growing legal turmoil surrounding Diddy. Burrowes' lawsuit accuses him of threats, blackmail, and intimidation to force the surrender of his 25% stake in Bad Boy Entertainment. The complaint also details years of alleged sexual harassment and physical abuse.
