Sean "Diddy" Combs and Cassie Ventura's former makeup artist shared an encounter she had kept hidden for 14 years with CNN.

Speaking to CNN's Laura Coates, Mylah Morales claimed that in 2010, the rapper had assaulted his then-girlfriend, Ventura, which left the singer with a black eye.

"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," Morales recalled of the alleged encounter.

When she saw Diddy and Ventura after the fight, she remembered the latter to be "badly beaten" and had "a lot of knots all over her head... and a busted lip."

Morales, who was working as a makeup artist for the rap mogul at the time, detailed that she was nervous about filing a police report against Diddy because of how he would retaliate.

"We didn't know what to do at that point," Morales said. "Puffy is a very powerful person, and we were quite terrified."

Morales then brought Ventura back to her own house and called up a doctor to treat her for possible concussions.

"It was painful to see Cassie like that because she's such a beautiful human being and for a man to just hurt any sort of woman, or child or animal. It doesn't matter because Cassie was a good friend and I just didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to describe how I felt that night," Morales concluded.

CNN noted that they contacted Diddy's team to react to Morales' allegations but have not heard back.

Morales' recollection took place six years before the abuse that was captured at the InterContinental Hotel in 2016. CNN released the surveillance footage of Diddy brutally beating Ventura in the hotel corridor before dragging her back into their hotel room.

Morales was one of the many former girlfriends of Diddy who has come forward to attest to his abusive behavior in the past. Diddy's former bodyguard confirmed in an interview with Piers Morgan that he had seen the "Bad Boy for Life" rapper beat up Ventura and the late Kim Porter in the past.
