About

Mylah Morales testified on Day 13 about a 2010 Grammy Weekend incident at a Beverly Hills hotel. She said she woke to a commotion, saw Sean Combs enter a bedroom after Casandra Ventura, heard yelling and screaming, and later saw Ventura with a swollen eye, busted lip, and knots on her head.

Morales said she took Ventura to her home, where a doctor examined Ventura and suggested an emergency-room visit. Morales testified that Ventura did not go to the emergency room and that Morales did not call police because she feared for her life.

Morales also disclosed prior journalist interviews and payment of about $1,000 for rights to older photographs of herself and Kim Porter. On cross-examination, the defense established that she had not seen inside the bedroom, explored her longstanding friendship with Ventura, and used a document to refresh her recollection about asking prosecutors for an additional Dateline interview.
