The source clarified that Bono did not know about what Combs was doing nor the accusations against him at the time.
‘There’s no way he knew about the depths of his depravity or he would have spoken up, but there was no way Bono was letting him anywhere near him, even 10 years ago.’
The insider added, emphasizing: ‘He still shudders at the thought of it.’

This comes as Combs remains in jail awaiting his trial and after additional victims came forward accusing him of sexual abuse.
Last month, he was arrested last month on shocking sex trafficking and racketeering charges and is being held in a notorious New York City jail without bond.
His case was reassigned to federal Judge Arun Subramanian on Thursday without explanation, reported CNN.
Initially Judge Andrew Carter presided over the case and denied him bail twice despite the rapper using both his and his mother’s homes in Miami — worth $50 million — as collateral.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges that detail allegations dating back to 2008 that accuses him of abusing, threatening and coercing women for years ‘to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.’

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams revealed what federal agents found during the March raid of Combs’ Miami residence including confiscated unmarked AR-15s, ammunition, as well as 1,000 bottles of baby oil and other lubricant.
They also revealed evidence had been gathered of Combs’ long-rumored sex parties — which he referred to as ‘freak offs’ — during their raids on his Los Angeles and Miami homes, finding, ‘electronic devices that contain images and videos of the freak offs, with multiple victims.’
An additional 120 victims came forward last Tuesday accusing him of sexual abuse, with several underage victims, including a 9-year-old, among them.
The claims were made by Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee who announced he’s representing 120 new victims who he believes have legitimate cases against the rapper turned media mogul.
