Cassie Ventura’s make -up artist reflects the early years in his career

One of the 34 witnesses who testified on behalf of the public prosecutor in the Sean Combs process was the make -up artist Mylah Morales.

While some of the witnesses with combs and his former girlfriend Casandra Ventura, who was known as singer “Cassie”, interacted, Morales used to work in her career for both. After the monitoring of Ventura, Combs in the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, California, was attacked by Combs in May 2024, the morality about the experience she had led with Ventura, which led to it was physically damaged by combs.

Ventura, a former model that some known for the single “Me & U” from 2006, was an important witness during the seven -week legal process of Combs, which led to the fact that he was not guilty of sex trade because of school, but had made it guilty of transporting for prostitution. The latter refers to two charges – one in relation to Ventura and the other to another witness who testified under the pseudonym “Jane”.

Morales postponed a comment on Wednesday on Wednesday until later a day.

In an explanation, Ventura’s lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor said: “By drawing up her experience, she has left both the entertainment industry and the struggle for justice indelibly. We have to repeat – without reservations – that we believe and support that our clients in this process, which in this attempt that the Hegtierhäfen, are in this strong, through the Hegenung. Preserving the protection of the protection of the true feeling.

Combs’ Legal Defense Team planned to address the media on Wednesday afternoon outside the Federal District Court in Lower Manhattan.

Last week Morales spoke to WWD about the early years of her career. In 2001, after moving from New York to Los Angeles, Morales began working with Combs as a makeup artist. A friend who was the President of the President of Bad Boy Record at the time had expelled her, she said. She put it in a “very small circle” of the combs, “said Morales.

Morales described this experience as “very professional” and was involved with the TV appearances of the music mogul, music videos, editorial shootings, advertising campaigns and award ceremonies. Music was always played, Morales added. “Everyone was always professional and busy – just tried to do it,” she said.

Her tasks, which also related to Combs’ partners at this time, contained Kim Porter, traveled to Paris fashion week. “There were tons of Paparazzi – of course – fans, paparazzi, the usual. The fans couldn’t really reach him because of security,” said Morales. “He was very practical with the styling. With the care, he wanted to make sure that there was no shine or that he looked healthy in front of the camera. The lights can be a little hard.”

Morales said she had never socialized with combs and porters.

Around 2004 or 2005, Morales Ventura met at a photo shoot in Brooklyn when she modeled as a teenager. Ventura was so young that her father had traveled with her, said Morales. “When I saw her for the first time, I thought:” Wow, this girl is breathtaking, “said Morales.” Usually I can choose a star in the crowd. She definitely had star quality. “

Morales described Ventura as “so beautiful, with no common bone in her body. She was always so pleasant and happy”. She continued: “We would just laugh. It was as if you were working with her friend or little sister. There was never a boring moment or a stressful moment. I appreciate her so much.”

When Ventura mentioned an interest in a music career, Morales suggested that they meet the music producer Ryan Leslie and vice versa. At that time, Leslie worked with musicians such as Combs and Usher, said Morales. “He was just a really nice guy – went to Harvard, very compiled,” she said. As it turned out, Ventura and Leslie happened to meet at a party and found the moral connection.

Leslie could not be reached for a comment on Wednesday.

During his collaboration with Ventura, Morales said that she decided to work with Combs to have more time to work with female customers, including pop stars. In order to consider this change of direction, Morales and their agent agreed to reject future jobs with combs. But she said she had seen him on occasion as if she worked with his artists.

Jordin Sparks and “female groups of girls who are not more nearby,” said Morales, she has worked with Rihanna with Rihanna with Rihanna a few times a year and often travels for her and other customers like Leona Lewis, and “female groups of girls who are not even nearby” than the time worked with Ventura. “I also worked with Lil ‘Kim before she went to prison.”

When asked whether Lil ‘Kim would comment on a judgment, her manager Greg Walker rejected a statement.

In 2005 Morales said with customers like Rihanna and Nicki Minaj that she had little time to work with Ventura. Morales and Ventura have come back to each other during a Harper-Basar-Vietnam cover cover during the Covid-19 in Los Angeles. Ventura was expecting her second child at that time. Days according to statements last month, Ventura gave birth to her third child.

Looking back at the early 2000s, Morales speculated that some people today could not understand the exclusivity of this time. Agents and music camps were primarily responsible for the production of the connections. “Social media has changed the world so much so that there is not much privacy when it comes to artists and actors. Everyone now has a camera on their cell phone,” she said. “While Paparazzi was the only way to take photos before.”

While the collision of fashion, music, branding and entrepreneurship is now so common, this was not the case at the time. “It was really dope at the time. It was more exclusive. There was a certain group of people who worked with certain artists. They had no social media, so that nobody could achieve an artist as they can now,” said Morales.

Morales said that after the surveillance video recordings of combs that Ventura in the Los Angeles Hotel had physically attacked in 2016, it was publicly shown last year. She was “really destroyed”.

During the trial, Morales said about an incident in 2010 when Combs Ventura supposedly attacked the Beverly Hills Hotel. With regard to the effects of the statement, she said: “It was a very emotional time. I hadn’t seen Sean for many years. It only triggered a lot of memories. I feel very disappointed. I wish he had done it better with people and situations in his life. In his life I was very sad about it.

After Morales had recently taken a few months, she said that she had joined a new agency since.

As far as Combs is concerned, Morales said last week: “If he had checked his actions, many things would have been so much better. He could have done so much more because he is not an old man. He just didn’t make the right decisions.”
