Morales’s testimony is part of an ongoing federal investigation into Combs, who is facing serious allegations including sₑx trafficking, physical abuse, and misconduct against multiple women over the years. The investigation follows a series of lawsuits and mounting public scrutiny surrounding the hip-hop icon’s alleged behavior.
Recalling the incident, Morales said the altercation took place during the Grammy Awards weekend at a Los Angeles hotel, where she and Ventura were preparing for a private party hosted by Prince. Morales testified that Combs stormed into the suite shouting, “Where the f--k is she?” before entering a bedroom with Ventura. Moments later, Morales said she heard shouting and screaming from behind the closed door.
After Combs left the suite, Morales said Ventura emerged visibly injured suffering a swollen eye, busted lip, and bruising on her head. “She was distraught and upset,” Morales told the court.
Concerned for Ventura’s safety, Morales brought her to her own home and contacted a doctor friend, who examined Ventura and ruled out a concussion.
Morales said she didn’t contact the police out of fear for her own safety, suggesting an atmosphere of intimidation around Combs. “I was scared,” she said, adding that the incident left her shaken.
The testimony adds to a growing body of allegations against Combs. In late 2023, Ventura filed a civil lawsuit accusing him of years of physical and emotional abuse. That case was swiftly settled out of court within 24 hours, but it opened the floodgates to further accusations and spurred a federal investigation.
As that probe continues, accounts like Morales’s are painting a picture of an alleged long-standing pattern of control, abuse, and coercion within Combs’s inner circle. Combs has repeatedly denied all allegations and has not been convicted of any crimes related to the claims.
