I got kicked out of a Hilton hotel breakfast as my outfit was ‘inappropriate' – but my PJs were cuter than everyone else
A WOMAN has revealed that she was kicked out of the breakfast at a Hilton hotel because her outfit was "inappropriate." But Saffron Marie, 26, who stayed in the hotel for 'some self-care,' was shocked by the incident and believed she actually looked ' cuter ' than everyone else. 3 Posting on social media, the blonde beauty, who is from a council estate but often visits posh areas to look for rich men, curled her hair, did her make-up and put on a fresh set of black pyjamas to head downstairs to get some food. However, when she got there, prior to tucking into strawberry croissants and sausages, Saffron, who is from Brentwood, Essex, was asked to leave and get changed. Stunned by the situation, the exotic dancer showed off her black set of matching pyjamas, which she wore with a pair of flip flops. Alongside a caption that read 'Only me😂', Saffron said: 'I got chucked out of the Hilton Hotel at breakfast because of my outfit choice.' She then confirmed: 'I woke up nice and early, it was about 7:30am and I took myself down to the breakfast buffet. 'When I got there I was told I was dressed inappropriately - I think that's actually ridiculous because I look cuter than everyone there at breakfast.' Saffron, who has a partner in prison and eats takeaways every night, then went back to her room and switched to a cropped grey jumper with a matching pair of shorts. Following this, she continued: 'I quickly got changed but when I tell you, my going out shorts were shorter than my pyjamas anyway. 'The second outfit was actually worse than the first one.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ saffronmariexx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as at the time of writing, it had quickly racked up 258,900 views. Controversial Teacher Outfits: Crossing the Line or Setting Trends? Not only this, but it had also amassed 10,300 likes, 341 comments and 164 shares. But social media users were gobsmacked by Saffron's decision to wear pyjamas to a hotel breakfast. I was told I was dressed inappropriately - I think that's actually ridiculous because I look cuter than everyone there at breakfast Saffron Marie One person asked: 'Why would you wear pyjamas?' Another slammed: 'Get a grip…you knew what you were doing, you wanted to provoke and get drama for 'the likes' and rage bait.' How to look chic on a budget Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25. There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.'' Don't forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17. A third commented: 'Maybe it's a class thing but I wouldn't dream of wearing that in public.' Meanwhile, someone else rudely wrote: 'Absolute someone had to spell it out that you shouldn't be coming down for breakfast in your pyjamas.' Not only this, but another penned: 'Wearing PJ's in a public place… unacceptable behaviour. Making a video because you're in the wrong, unacceptable behaviour, get a grip.' Whilst someone else explained: 'I think it's a hygiene thing rather than a revealing element.'

I was at Diddy's freak offs. This is what I saw
Sharay Hayes is six feet two, rippling with muscles and nicknamed 'The Punisher'. In 2015, working as an exotic dancer at the top of his game, he was described by the New York Post as giving Channing Tatum 'a run for his money'. The Punisher, whose Instagram profile is all abs, leather and chains, partied with some of America's most beautiful women, hunkiest men and biggest stars. He never thought that his glamorous lifestyle would end up with him sitting in a courtroom, with clips of him sleeping with the singer Cassie Ventura broadcast to 12 strangers. It all began on the evening of Oct 14, 2012, when Mr Hayes received a call from a woman named Janet asking for a male dancer to entertain her and some friends, he tells the Telegraph. He packed up and travelled to the Trump International Hotel in midtown Manhattan for the 3am booking. But when a 'stunning woman' with an 'inviting smile' greeted him at the door of the suite in nothing but a bathrobe, he soon realised he was walking into an entirely different scenario. 'She immediately explained to me that she was not looking for a dance performance, that she wanted to set up this sexy scene where we would sit on couches adjacent from each other and put baby oil on in a sexy manner, and at some point her husband would come out and watch,' he told The Telegraph. She handed him $800 in cash - four times the fee he had quoted for a dance - and he agreed, he said. Mr Hayes had walked into a 'freak-off', days-long drug-fuelled parties during which Sean 'Diddy' Combs is accused of coercing Cassie Ventura into having sex with male escorts for his sexual gratification. Little did he know, 13-years-later he would rake over the details of that night, and those which followed, to a packed Manhattan courtroom during Combs's criminal trial. Weeks after he testified, a jury would be shown a video of him and Ventura sleeping together 'at a freak-off'. Mr Hayes has since said he would like to apologise to Ventura for his role in these nights, which she has said she did not want to take part in. He says he was not aware of this at the time. Recounting that night in 2012, Mr Hayes, 51, said after agreeing to take part he was told to go into the bathroom and take off his clothes and come out nude or in a towel. The room was dimly lit with candles and the furniture was covered in sheets, which he now realises was to protect it from being damaged by baby oil. 'I was instructed to sit on one single chair that was kind of adjacent to a sofa, she positioned herself on the sofa and then we began to do the baby oil... I would put it on myself, she's putting it on herself, we would put on each other and then there were sexual gestures of self pleasuring and stuff like that to try to set the mood,' he said. Eventually Combs, who he believed was Ventura's husband, and says he did not realise at the time was the a-lister, came out completely nude with a niqab covering his face and sat in a chair around 12 to 15 feet away. 'It was very strange, just the idea of understanding a partner would come in was already strange but, seeing his face completely covered it threw me off,' he said. Combs would give them directions, Mr Hayes said, mainly based on the lighting and the positioning of their bodies. 'It was clear that this scene was based on his preference and something that he enjoyed', he said. The 'scene' lasted around 25 to 35 minutes, when Combs left the room, Ventura followed. Five minutes later she returned and told him it had been 'perfect' and asked him if he would like to finish, he says. He declined, and she handed him an extra $1,200. A few months later, Ventura called him again and they carried out the same scenario with the baby oil, but this time he had sex. He would see the couple around eight to 12 times over a two-and-a-half-year period and would be paid between $1,200 to $2,000 each time. Each session would last for a minimum of four hours, he said, with the sexual activity lasting up to 45 minutes. Sometimes Combs would leave the room, Ventura would follow, and then they would return and Mr Hayes would be asked to resume. He says Combs would give directions, including telling them if they needed to apply more baby oil. During one session, when Mr Hayes and Ventura were having intercourse on the bed, Combs 'slammed' a stack of hundred dollar bills down 'in approval'. '[Ventura] kind of looked at him... to gauge was he okay or whatever, and he just says, 'I'm fine. I like that shit, I'm enjoying this shit.'' Mr Hayes said he never saw Combs being aggressive towards Ventura and she did not appear as though she was being forced to take part in the sexual acts. There were moments she appeared 'frustrated' and would sigh, but he said these were in response to Combs's directions, which could be as specific as telling her to move a candle slightly to the left. During her four day-long testimony, Ventura told the court she was forced to undergo gruelling days-long sex sessions. She said that she was sometimes coerced into taking part in the 'freak-offs' even while unwell, and suffering from UTIs. Once she had even blacked out, and woken up in the shower, she told the court. 'It made me feel worthless,' she told the court. 'Freak-offs became a job where there was no space to do anything else but to recover and just try to feel normal again.' Mr Hayes said he did not discover who the celebrity couple were until around 15 months after their first encounter, when he saw a sign on the television at JW Marriott Essex House saying: 'Welcome Mr Sean Combs.' His final encounter with the couple took place in 2015 after an extended break. Mr Hayes explained he felt uncomfortable and was unable to perform sexually, and they did not call again. He has since written a self-help book on erectile dysfunction called In Search of Freezer Meat, which included an anonymised passage about the couple. Mr Hayes said he did not feel used, but felt 'special' that this high-profile couple had chosen him. 'Now in hindsight, I know I was one of many and it kind of killed that, burst that bubble, but in the moment I thought it was something to be honoured to be a part of', he said. Testifying in court last month was a nerve wracking experience, Mr Hayes said, adding that he was physically shaking when he took the stand. He avoided eye contact with Combs until the end of his testimony, when they nodded at each other as he left the courtroom. Initially, Mr Hayes was confused why he had been called to testify as he did not witness physical abuse and did not travel across state lines for these encounters. As part of his sex trafficking charge, Combs is accused of transporting male escorts across state lines to engage in the 'freak-offs'. But his role in the case appeared to become more apparent when the jury was played videos of 'freak-offs', which included one recorded the night Mr Hayes first met Combs and Ventura. 'I had no idea anything was possibly filmed, so it's a surprise to me to know that there is video footage', he says, adding: 'It creates a degree of worry.'

EXCLUSIVE Exotic dancer allegedly paid by Sean 'Diddy' Combs to perform massages on Cassie Ventura describes the 'pinch yourself' moment he realised his burqa-wearing employer was the disgraced rap mogul on new Mail podcast
On the latest episode of the Mail's 'The Trial of Diddy' podcast, reporter Marjorie Hernandez interviews Sharay Hayes, a male exotic dancer who testified in court that he was paid to give sexual massages to Cassie Ventura while being watched by a masked Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Combs, 55, is currently on trial in New York facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges. If found guilty, the rap mogul could spend decades behind bars. Combs has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers concede he could be violent, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit abuse. Sharay 'The Punisher' Hayes, a male exotic dancer who was called as a witness for the prosecution earlier in the trial, told the podcast how he came to be in the employ of Combs and Ventura and what they wanted him to do for them. Using an alias, Hayes alleges that Ventura, Diddy's ex-girlfriend and one of two key victims in the trial, contacted him for a sexual dance in 2012. Upon arrival at the couple's hotel room, Hayes says he was greeted by a scantily clad Ventura and Combs wearing nothing apart from a 'burqa' to disguise his identity. Subscribe to The Crime Desk to hear exclusive coverage of the Diddy trial on The Trial+ Join here The dancer claims he began performing exotic massages for the couple's amusement. Hayes told reporter Marjorie Hernandez about his 'embarrassment' at not being able to figure out who his employers were for around a year. 'I had no idea who they were', he said. 'I knew I was with some high-profile couple, but I thought they were married. I did Google searches, trying to figure out who they were. But all the searches I did drew a blank. 'They called me for one more of these sessions and put me in a waiting room. I happened to turn on the TV and there was a welcome message on the screen which read: 'Essex House would like to welcome Mr Sean Combs.' 'It was a holy cr** moment – I had followed him on social media, and I still didn't realise.' 'I grew up in Harlem and in my age range, Diddy was my culture. Being in a room with him had a wow factor and I was doing something of a sexual nature with his partner. It blew me away – it was a pinch yourself moment.' Asked whether Hayes detected any coercive or violent behaviour from Combs towards Ventura, the exotic dancer said he 'did not see anything associated with what's going on in the trial'. He did however feel a sense of 'frustration' from Ventura at Diddy's particular and voyeuristic demands. Ventura has alleged Combs subjected her to rape, physical abuse, sex trafficking, and forced participation in sexual encounters with male sex workers called 'freak-offs' during their decade-long relationship. 'I did not see any indication of any issues between them', Hayes said. The Trial of Diddy: The No.1 True Crime podcast is back, covering all of the most shocking details from the Diddy case. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts 'It just seemed like a couple who were trying to expand their sex life in a kind of fetish way. 'The closest thing I noticed to what is going on in the trial – which I testified to – was that there were moments with Diddy's direction where maybe Cassie would sigh. I could see moments of frustration. 'Diddy could be very specific at times. Move the light here, turn a little bit more to the left – I did see some reactions to that specific direction.' Having heard Ventura's testimony which alleges Combs was abusive and violent towards her over several years, Hayes said he now feels 'terrible' about being involved in the couple's sex life. The exotic dancer said: 'The things Cassie testified to – those experiences show she was clearly in distress. 'It feels terrible to have been involved – period. I hope that, if she was in this difficult space, maybe her interaction with me wasn't too heavy on her. That it was tolerable. 'It is just rough looking back at it – understanding the circumstances. Even though I wasn't a part of it directly, I do not want to imagine what she could have been going through mentally. 'Maybe she was coerced without me knowing, which is just a terrible thing.'
