According to Roger Bond, the 2016 attack on Cassie was not a “one-off incident.”
“It didn't surprise me when I saw it, because I've seen things like this before,” Roger Bonds told Piers Morgan of the 2016 surveillance video in an interview late Monday.

“I've seen him get physical. I've seen him get really physical, pick 'em up,” he claimed. 'I've seen him wrestle and box and sometimes I'm like, 'What are you mad about? What are you angry about? ''
“Because it's a deeper anger when you hit and hit a woman like that,” Bond said. “If you have a problem with every woman you deal with, then I think that problem is inside you.”

Regarding Cassie's accusation that the rapper paid the hotel $50,000 for the footage at the time, Bonds claimed that his former boss likely knew there were security cameras in the hotel hallways and could easily purchase the video.

“If you go through life just paying your way out, I really feel like he didn't regret it – maybe now he regrets getting caught, but if that was a one-off incident then I would saying accept his apology, but I think in that apology he said what he thought people wanted to hear,” Bonds accused.
