Makeup artist testifies she allegedly found Cassie Ventura with 'swollen eye,' 'busted lip'
Makeup artist Mylah Morales testified that it was Grammy weekend 2010 when she returned to the Beverly Hills Hotel after a night out with Cassie Ventura.
According to her testimony, Morales fell asleep on the couch but "woke up to a little bit of commotion." Morales told the court that Ventura walked in and headed into the bedroom and Sean Combs entered a moment later.
"Where the f--- is she?" Morales testified an angry Combs asked.
Morales told the court that Combs walked into the bedroom and shut the door. Morales testified that she then heard "yelling and screaming" before Combs allegedly opened the bedroom door and stormed out of the suite.
"I was just frantic and I didn't know what to do," Morales testified. "She had a swollen eye and busted lip and knots on her head," referring to Ventura.
Morales, who testified that she first met Ventura when she was 16 years old, told the court that she took Ventura to her house, where she stayed a few days to recover.
"My friend, who's a doctor, a medical doctor, I asked him to come the next day to make sure she didn't have a concussion," Morales testified. Morales told the court that the doctor suggested Ventura be taken to the emergency room but "it was her wishes not to go to the ER."
Asked why Morales did not insist that Ventura go, Morales replied, "We were very afraid." She testified they were "afraid of Sean."
"I feared for my life," Morales told the court.
Morales and Ventura never again spoke about the alleged incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel, according to Morales' testimony
