Cassie's former make-up artist has claimed she witnessed Sean 'Diddy' Combs beating the singer up six years before the filmed assault at a Los Angeles hotel.
Mylah Morales told CNN's Laura Coates that she first witnessed the rapper and producer, formerly known as Puff Daddy, physical assault his ex-girlfriend Cassie in 2010, leaving her with a black eye.
'I have kept this secret for, like, 14 years,' Morales said, recalling an incident where she saw the former couple go into a hotel room and get into a violent argument.
Morales 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.'

The make-up artist said that Cassie was 'badly beaten' when she came out of the room, with ' a lot of knots all over her head,' a black eye and a 'busted lip.'
Morales said they did not go to the police because of fear of Diddy.
'Puffy is a very powerful person and we were quite terrified,' she said.
Diddy is currently facing criminal charges, as a grand jury has been selected to hear evidence against him in a federal probe.
The DOJ is gearing up to bring a criminal indictment against him as his accusers have been told they could be brought to testify in New York City, CNN reports.
The rapper and producer has been named in eight lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and human trafficking.
Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, sued Combs in November over what she said was years of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, including beatings and rape

The potential witnesses have not yet been prepped to testify for the prosecution, as Homeland Security investigators are still reportedly gathering evidence in the case.
A source told CNN that detectives want their indictment against Diddy to be 'bulletproof.'
The indictment would not be related to Diddy's filmed assault of his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016.
Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, sued Combs in November over what she said was years of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, including beatings and rape.
The suit said he plied her with drugs, forced her to have sex with other men, and raped her in her home as she was trying to end the relationship in 2018. Diddy, through his attorney, 'vehemently denies' the accusations.
Diddy, however, apologized after video emerged showing him brutally assaulting Cassie in the hallway of a hotel.

The 54-year-old rapper took to Instagram , saying: 'I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses.'
Looking into the camera, Diddy said: 'So difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you got to do that. I was f***ed up.
'I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I'm disgusted.
'I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.
'Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I am committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness, I'm truly sorry.'
Sources said Diddy went to rehab following the 2016 incident and continues to seek both therapy and spiritual work.
The video, obtained by CNN, shows the rapper shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City.
Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura attend the premiere of 'The Perfect Match' in Hollywood, California. Two days earlier Combs assaulted Ventura in a hotel hallway
As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her to the ground.
He then kicked her as she lay on the floor motionless, before grabbing the two designer bags she'd tried to escape with.
Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.
Cassie claimed in a since-settled lawsuit that Diddy had paid the same hotel $50,000 for the footage after the attack.
The legal challenge by Cassie was settled the next day, but spurred intense scrutiny of Diddy, with several more lawsuits filed in the following months, along with a federal criminal sex-trafficking investigation that led authorities to raid Combs' mansions in Los Angeles and Miami.
Combs' sons, Justin and Christian 'King' Combs, were handcuffed during the raid at their father's residence in Los Angeles.
The mother of two of Diddy's sons, Misa Hylton, shared footage of the raid in the rapper's Los Angeles mansion, calling it an 'overtly militarized force'
Armed agents entered luxury properties on both East and West Coasts of the United States
Two more women accused Diddy of sexual abuse in lawsuits filed on the eve of the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act last November, a New York law permitting victims of sexual abuse a one-year window to file civil action regardless of the statute of limitations.
The lawsuits, filed by Joi Dickerson and another woman who was not named, allege acts of sexual assault, beatings and forced drugging in the early 1990s by Combs, then a talent director, party promoter and rising figure in New York City's hip-hop community.
In December, another woman alleged in a lawsuit that in 2003 when she was 17, Diddy and two other men raped her.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan says she was living in a Detroit suburb and was flown to a New York studio, where she was given drugs and alcohol that made her incapable of consenting to sex, and the men took turns raping her.
The same day, Diddy posted a statement on Instagram broadly denying all the allegations in the mounting series of lawsuits.
'I did not do any of the awful things being alleged,' the post says. 'I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.'
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 54, was pictured smoking a cigarette in his native Miami after breaking his silence after shocking video of him beating up his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura surfaced this week
In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging Diddy coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.
The lawsuit gives a long list of potentially illegal activities dealing with drugs and sex that the producer says he witnessed. A lawyer for the rapper called the allegations 'pure fiction.'
The rapper is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.
Formerly known as Puff Daddy, he built one of hip-hop's biggest empires, blazing a trail with several entities attached to his famous name.
He is the founder of Bad Boy Records and a three-time Grammy winner who has worked with a slew of top-tier artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112.
