Diddy's bodyguard Gene Deal clashes with fans outside court over his alleged involvement in Freak Offs
Sean 'Diddy' Combs's former bodyguard had an intense confrontation with fans outside the New York City courthouse about his alleged involvement in Freak Offs.
Gene Deal, who protected the disgraced rapper throughout the 1990s, was seen being bombarded by several people on Tuesday - day 10 of the blockbuster trial.
As explosive testimonies played out inside the federal courtroom, events outside also got heated after Deal was asked about the drug and sex-fueled Freak Offs Diddy is accused of orchestrating for several years.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO
While he appeared to enter the courthouse, Gene stopped in his tracks as a man off-camera shouted at him: 'Hey G, I talked to Randy Pittman last night, a white guy, who said in 2004, you was at a party with P. Diddy, and you held him down with two minor kids.
'I did an interview with him on my YouTube last night. What do you have to say about that Gene?,' he added in the video posted on TikTok.
Gene seemingly looked toward the man as he shouted accusations at him while a woman got close to him and shoved a phone in his face, and a man snapped pictures of him with a camera.
'He said you was at a Puffy party! You gave him E pills and you held two minors down as well as him Gene, I interviewed him on my YouTube,' the man continued.
'He filed a lawsuit!' he added as another man kept repeating the word 'allegedly.'
Gene then appeared to look towards the yelling man and said: 'I'll speak to you when you get inside.
'You coming back in right? Alright I'll see you when you get inside,' Gene said as he entered the building.
This was reportedly not the first dramatic interaction Deal had outside the courthouse, as he allegedly got physical with a person 'harassing him' at the trial, according to the outlet The Art Of Dialogue.
Gene was 'told not to return to the Diddy trial for a few days' following the outburst, according to the outlet.
A video, posted by the outlet, appeared to show Gene going back and forth in a heated exchange with a man.
'You're not gonna tell me what to do,' the man told Gene as the bodyguard turned toward him.
'You can't come up on me! If you come up on me, I'm gonna knock you the f*** out,' Gene yelled back.
Gene then continued walking ahead as a woman started screaming at the other man.
Diddy's former bodyguard is one of many big names who have been vocal about the allegations against the music mogul.
The 55-year-old's staggering downfall began when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a bombshell lawsuit in 2023 detailing horrific claims of sexual abuse and violence at the hands of her ex-partner.
The lawsuit was settled for $20 million just a day after it was filed, but it was too late for Diddy's reputation as the rapper was then hit with dozens of lawsuits detailing similar claims.
Diddy denies all allegations against him. His lawyers admit he's a woman beater - although he does not face domestic abuse charges - but that he is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering.
In a recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue, Deal said he believes the pressure from hearing hours of testimony about his 'dirty deeds with Cassie' will 'break' Diddy.
'He can't take sitting right there and hearing all of his dirty deeds with Cassie,' he claimed.
'He's hearing all of his deeds in front of him and he ain't high. He ain't drunk... He gone break bruh. I'm telling you.
'He'll end up asking his defense team to see if y'all can still get me that deal,' he continued.

Selena Gomez accused of SHADING Hailey Bieber following sale of her beauty brand Rhode
Selena Gomez has been accused of shading Hailey Bieber following the sale of her beauty brand Rhode. News hit the web earlier this week that Hailey's company was being acquired by E.l.f. Cosmetics in a massive, $1 billion deal. The mom-of-one, 28, will still serve as founder of the brand as well as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation. Just one day after the announcement, Selena's cosmetics company Rare Beauty posted two snaps of Selena and simply captioned them with, 'Still here.' One of the images showed the Bad Liar songstress blowing a kiss towards the camera, while another featured her starring into the lens with a sultry look on her face. Many fans became convinced that Selena, 32, was subtly poking fun at Hailey's sale with the post, and they were not amused. Hailey's supporters quickly flooded the replies of the post with angry messages. 'It seems like Hailey is always on her mind. Pathetic,' one outraged user wrote. 'The way she's actually shady as hell,' added another. 'She actually pisses me off. Like MOVE ON UR A GROWN A** WOMAN,' scathed someone else. 'At this point you might as well tag her,' a fourth tweet read. 'Omfg this girl won't miss an opportunity to shade… she needs attention so bad,' a fifth said. A different user penned, 'It doesn't seem like the behavior of someone who claims to be a girl's girl.' 'She is so mean. This is so unnecessary,' someone else wrote. has reached out to Rare Beauty for comment. Hailey launched her much-anticipated brand in June 2022, releasing only three products at the time - Peptide Glazing Fluid, Barrier Restore Cream, and Peptide Lip Treatment. Many fans became convinced that Selena, 32, was subtly poking fun at Hailey's sale with the post, and they were not amused. Since then, the brand has grown exponentially, expanding into different tinted lip products, blush, and even viral phone cases that double as lip gloss carriers. 'E.l.f. Beauty found a like-minded disruptor in Rhode,' said E.l.f. Chairman and CEO Tarang Amin Wednesday, per Business Wire. 'Rhode further diversifies our portfolio with a fast-growing brand that makes the best of prestige accessible,' his statement continued. 'We are excited by Rhode's ability to break beauty barriers, fully aligning with E.l.f. Beauty's vision to create a different kind of company. Rhode is a beautiful brand that we believe is ready for rocketship growth.' Following the news, Hailey took to Instagram to break her silence on the monumental deal. 'When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing Rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,' she wrote in the caption, which was accompanied by two pictures of her. 'So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with E.l.f. Beauty as we step into this next chapter in the world of Rhode. 'I found a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do and will help us continue to grow the brand. 'I feel invigorated, excited and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of Rhode as well as strategic advisor to E.l.f. Beauty.' Selena and Hailey have long been pitted against each other due to their shared romantic link with Hailey's husband Justin Bieber. However, both beauty founders have made attempts to quash the narrative with statements on social media and in the press. Last week, Selena seemingly showed her support for Hailey when she liked a post by Sephora announcing a collaboration with Rhode. Rhode products will begin being sold at Sephora this fall, joining Selena's Rare Beauty items on the retailer's shelves. In April Hailey was called a 'creepy stalker' for using similar language in her 2025 Daily Front Row acceptance speech to what Gomez used in a 2021 interview with Special Madame Figaro Arabia. As Hailey picked up the Beauty Innovator of the Year Award, she said, 'When I started Rhode, I didn't want to start a brand for the sake of starting a brand. I really wanted to create an entire world.'
