Cassie’s Former Make-Up Artist Claims Diddy Assaulted Singer Years Before Hotel Video
Cassie’s former make-up artist, Mylah Morales, claims that Diddy assaulted the singer years before the 2016 hotel video. During an interview with CNN, Morales opened up about working with the singer back in 2010. She recalled an incident between Sean Combs and Cassandra Fine that left her with a blackened eye, saying, “I have kept this secret for, like, 14 years.”
She continued, “They went into the bedroom and shut the door, and all I could hear was screaming and yelling… Whatever was going on in there I don’t know, but all I could think of was to grab Cassie’s things and start packing it up and just getting her out to safety and bringing her to my house.” As the former Bad Boy artist reemerged from the room, Morales claimed that she was “badly beaten” and had “a lot of knots all over her head… and a busted lip.”
However, the “Glaminator” felt they couldn’t go to the police because they feared what Diddy would do in retaliation, saying, “Puffy is a very powerful person, and we were quite terrified.”
CNN released the troubling 2016 surveillance footage in mid-May, which showed Cassandra Fine running for her life as she attempted to get away from Diddy. Puffy can be seen running down the hallway of the now-closed InterContinental Hotel.
The footage then captures an aggressive Combs snatching up Cassie and throwing her down to the ground by her neck. Puffy begins stomping her on the ground as she lies there, covering herself from more vitriol and attacks from the disgraced mogul. On the surveillance video, Sean Combs is later caught aggressively hurling vases and glasses at someone who appears to be the singer off-screen.
As the hotel footage began picking up disapproval on the internet, Sean Combs apologized for his behavior — an apology that Mylah Morales described to ExtraTV as “a PR stunt.” Combs called his behavior “inexcusable” and claimed to have received mental help to atone for “hitting rock bottom.”
Cassie would then release her statement regarding the footage and asserted that the battle on domestic violence is just “the beginning” of her fight.
