Mylah Morales, a makeup artist who previously worked with both Sean “Diddy” Combs and Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, said she saw signs of the alleged abuse while record producer and singer dated.

In an interview with Extra published on Tuesday, May 21, Morales claimed that one alleged incident that took place during Grammy weekend at The Beverly Hills Hotel over 10 years ago will never leave her memory.

Morales recalled, “All I witnessed was Combs walking into the room and saying, ‘Where the f--- is she?’ and I didn't know what was going on. I was like, ‘I just woke up from a slumber,’ and next thing you know, all I hear from the bedroom was just s--- that I don't want to go back and think about."

“I did not know what was going on … all I can think of was to get her out of there,” Morales said. 

She went on to describe the “Me & U” singer’s appearance after she returned to the room. 

“She was bruised. I mean, badly bruised, like knots on her head, a black eye,” Morales said of Ventura, now 37.

Morales continued, “All I cared about was to get her to safety, and I took her into my house and kept her there for a few days. I literally called my friend, who was a doctor at the time, to treat her because we couldn't bring her to the hospital. We didn't know what the hell to do at that point. Who are we going to call?”

“I'm scared just even talking about this, but I feel like somebody has to,” she said. 

Earlier in the interview, Morales said that others also felt intimidated by Diddy, 54. 

“We were always scared of Puff," she said, referencing his previous st -

age name Puff Daddy. "He's a powerful person and we don't know what would happen to us if we spoke out."

Another source, who spoke anonymously, also told Extra about what they witnessed following the alleged incident.

“Cassie definitely had a black eye for sure. Her lip was swollen. She had bruises on her body. She looked really bad. She was advised to go to the ER to rule out major head trauma, but she was too scared. She was just scared and deflated. It was really sad,” the source said. 

Morales’ statements come less than a week after CNN released footage of the Bad Boy CEO kicking, punching and dragging Cassie, his then-girlfriend, in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. The incident was captured on the hotel’s surveillance cameras.

In November, Combs and Ventura reached a settlement just one day after she filed her lawsuit — which accused him of rape, sex trafficking, domestic violence and other crimes in the state of New York.

At the time, both parties released statements saying that they decided to “resolve this matter amicably.”

On Tuesday, Diddy was sued by a model named Crystal McKinney, who alleged that he drugged and sexually assaulted her in his New York City studio in 2003.

In addition to Ventura and McKinney, Combs faces sexual assault/harassment lawsuits from three other women and one man.
