Cassie Ventura’s ex-makeup artist saw singer ‘badly bruised’ while dating Diddy: ‘We were always scared of Puff’
Cassie Ventura’s former makeup artist said she saw the terrified singer “badly bruised” when she worked for her and her abusive ex, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“We were always scared of Puff,” Mylah Morales told Extra, using one of Combs’ many monikers.
“He’s a powerful person and we don’t know what would happen to us if we spoke out,” said Morales, who has been friends with “Me & U” hitmaker Ventura for years.
“I’m scared just even talking about this, but I feel like somebody has to.”
The celeb makeup guru said she saw Ventura with bruises and a black eye after an alleged altercation in 2016, the same year Diddy beat the singer in a horrific, caught-on-camera hotel hallway attack.
“I mean, badly bruised, like knots on her head, a black eye … and 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,” she alleged in the interview.
“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?”
Asked about the abuse the “Long Way 2 Go” singer had suffered, Morales responded, “I did not know … but I witnessed it. I don’t even want to go back to it because it’s triggering.”
“All I witnessed was him walking into the room and saying, ‘Where the f–k is she?’ and I didn’t know what was going on … all I can think of was to get her out of there.”
“I was like, ‘I just woke up from a slumber,’ and next thing you know, all I hear from the bedroom was just s–t. I don’t want to go back and think about,” she added.
Morales said she’s open to cooperating with law enforcement officials. As for the focus on Diddy after the hotel beating video emerged, the makeup artist said she knew “this day was coming.”
She dismissed Combs’ apology video — which he recorded only after the shocking video proved he was lying when he repeatedly denied his ex’s accusations — as “a PR stunt.”
