I have NO respect for these people who were THERE and SAID NOTHING... at the time! 🤬

[@d.d.p.parker3671]

Everytime something bad goes on with the Rich and famous these people, like Ms busy body, come out of the woodwork and tell all and make up the rest, I definitely don't believe what she saying

[@nylotus]

Many of us said something and were ignored. You don't work in the industry and you have no idea how things are run

[@1materialgurl]

I came here to say this. Thank you!

[@Bass-Reeve]

A ten year relationship...Cassie was there for ten years and did nothing. The amount of women who stay under these brutal circumstances needs to be addressed. It's very alarming

[@narcee1550]

@@d.d.p.parker3671 I agree, when its convenient she says "I'm triggered" or "it was so long ago". Why come on the show just to say I was there? Who cares! I'm not blaming her for what the BAD BOY did but you were part of the problem too...

[@jds0084]

Listening to this woman was a total waste of my time. She was vague with every answer.

[@pourladentelle]

I was totally annoyed too! Like wtf did she even get on here and talk about what!?

[@Mankam168]

Mylah Morales comes off like she just wanted attention in this interview. This is why people are skeptical of all interviews/sit-downs nowadays!! Not everybody is that reachable

This lady had nothing to say!

[@totuff4mfnU]

Puff is Puff…-that’s her disclaimer!!??! 🙄😳 What is she here for?!?

[@kikijones4879]

Naw. She ain't no friend. She too concerned about her "profession." "He's just Puffy," is an excuse. Shes concerned about her career.

[@crisa7490]

Okay she signed a NDA so you can't speak on a lot of things but to hear someone screaming for their life and ignore it. I just don't get it.

[@MichelleAndews-bb9ul]

Pathetic that she cared more about her career than the well-being of her so-called friend

[@CarlMonroemeo]

I get it. You've never worked in Entertainment and it shows.

[@nylotus]

I worked for Jay Z's publicist in 2007 and I was a production assistant in 2009 and Jay was my first client. I worked for Jay Z in 2010 but didn't last long because I was too outspoken about the treatment of employees. I was fired within 4 months. For those blaming her, please know many of us have tried to speak out but the press and police think we're nothing more than hired help. The police won't take anyone's claims seriously unless it's documented and these men have paid off law enforcement MANY times! Diddy was pointed out by the woman he shot in the nightclub and told the courts Shyne didn't do it... and Diddy still walked! So what exactly is it that you expect her to do? Most of you have never been around these people and don't know shit.

[@soulblacklady]

The woman sued and got paid.

[@nylotus]

​@@soulblacklady A civil suit has nothing to do with criminal charges. This is my point. To even bring that up shows your lack of basic knowledge. The DA has to charge him and was paid not to. So wtf does her getting paid have to do with a prosecutor doing their job. Just shut up. Please and thank you.

[@eg3229]

It sounds like you did the right thing. ❤ Unfortunately, it cost you your job. But at least you can rest better knowing that you lost that job by standing on principle. You are right. Many of us have no idea what that is like because you could become a victim trying to get involved, but silence is still worse. You may have sparked bravery in someone you worked with to stand up after you left, you never know. I do hope the universe rewarded your bravery and those who spoke up as you did.

[@user-zd6ue4lq3l]

Sorry, I think that any decent man or woman would step up. That is not worth the job in that industry. Save the day and then peace out. There is no excuse for not doing the right thing when it comes to this poor young girl being beat by ascum of the Earth man.

[@WokeOne75]

I think issue some of us have in regards to all of the people that knew and stayed silent is that they STAYED AROUND!!!! If I was working for someone who procved themselves to be extremely violent and abusive, that would be the day i had to let the job go. But what we hear are peopel that knew what was going on and still worked for or with Puffy. As the one employee that he beat to a pulp and had to pay off police to not report, Capricorn, she said, " You have to be willing to walk away from the money". Seems to me that many of these people that are now coming out to speak about what they witnessed stayed around for the money, the fame, the access and proximity to celebrity. I can see why it took Cassie so long to leave, but for these others that were on Diddy's payroll in some manner, what is their excuse? Sure its scary, but that's why you remove yourslf from the situation. But to stay for the parties, the get togethers, the events, the music.....knowing that this man is evil is weird.

[@Backpack16]

She kept saying, Puff is going to be Puff. But she knew, it was not a good thing to be Puff, or around him.

[@TeeRo617]

Why agree to do this interview if you don't want to discuss what happened?

[@nylotus]

She doesn't want to be subpoenaed.

[@TeeRo617]

​@nylotus She shouldn't have agreed to the interview. And she's so traumatized and doesn't want to relive what happened but came on here anyway. I'm not victim blaming/shaming but am not comprehending why she is on here.

[@beachlover9705]

Where were her parents, family ? Nobody ever asks

[@DeborahGunnPhotography]

I can't continue to watch this and blame being silent because of your culture... STOP ... Yes, we learn to keep family secrets, but NOT like constant beatings... My sister was abused ONE TIME, by her husband and TRUST ME, it was handled 😢 Men DON'T BEAT women, in ANY culture...❤

[@yellouxcove]

Wow, this lady is ridiculous.

[@BADSEED13]

What really upsets me is all of these people were witnessing this and did nothing. I understand you might be afraid of the machine, but the amount of people that knew about this and did nothing makes me sick.

[@pauobunyon9791]

Money kept them quiet. Money gets them to interview. Money the root of all evil

It's a fair point. people said they were scared and they were trying not to embarrass her.

[@charismao5515]

That’s what I was thinking as well.

[@annamariemiller3877]

My daughter was abused by her husband. It took her a long time to leave. She was afraid of what would end up happening. I have my granddaughter living with my husband band and I. It is a horrific thing to go through and affects the entire family. It’s never easy. When most women are killed when they leave. We all knew that.

[@SyreetaSiler86]

So basically your career was more important than your “friends” well being. She’s culpable and she knows it. That explains the defensiveness. Got it smh

[@marcocarter1875]

When did she say Cassie was a friend?. She said she was Cassie makeup artist. Big difference. She was afraid for her life.

[@pkp6791]

I just love how SHE is acting so traumatized. It is ridiculously self serving. I have NO respect for her or sympathy for anything she experienced.Diddy wasn't; kicking HER a--! She doesn't remember, but yet she is here talking about it. I cannot watch this. Clicking off. Thanks Don,

The problem in the entertainment industry is that they don't have a human resources department and as a result, it is much harder to come forward to report abuse.

[@theonly1258]

[@peaceangel4192]

The interview was difficult to watch - recounting traumatic situations, attempting to protect one's own self and respect other's feelings about it while simultaneously feeling somewhat accountable for whatever one did or did not do is a lot. The reasons for staying in an abusive relationship are too numerous to get into but fear is a major aspect of getting free. Women are in far more danger when they leave than if they stay, particularly if the offender is wealthy, powerful and able to reach out & touch you at any time. There is no adequate protection or preventive measures from "the system". It comes into play AFTER something has happened. Hearing Mylah Morales say, more than once, she didn't understand him beating a beautiful woman was distressing! Would it be less of an issue or even OK if he was beating women that aren't labeled beautiful (inside or out)? I'm pretty sure that's not what she actually meant. However, anyone can be a victim/survivor of interpersonal violence. In future interviews, Don Lemon, if you're going to be discussing this type of violence, please consult appropriate resources because there are many varied layers and connections, a lot to understand. Peace...

[@amell.5461]

She was not her friend she was a makeup artist paid by Diddy. She's the staff you can't do shit in that position against a rich and famous man. Plus Cassie always returned with him and I don't blame her she was his prisoner with her music contracts but people won't lose their job when they know it won't change a thing.
