Sean “Diddy” Combs’ twisted texts were laid bare in Manhattan court Wednesday — revealing how he gaslit then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura by blaming her for his physical abuse and sent her sickening “freak-off” instructions.
The disturbing missives showed Combs dictating terms for the depraved days-long drug- and baby oil-fueled sex parties he allegedly forced Ventura to take part in.
“You know we have to have a proper FO [“freak-off”] WITHOUT NO K [ketamine] . . . A successful FO is when we remember,” he texted her on Jan. 26, 2016.

Other texts came as Ventura, 38, recounted some of the monstrous abuse allegedly inflicted on her during her 11-year relationship with the disgraced hip-hop mogul, even comparing him to notorious spousal abuser Ike Turner.
They showed Combs attempting to manipulate Ventura after beating her, including saying a gruesome eye injury he had inflicted was her fault.

Combs entered the room and started yelling at her about sleeping instead of packing — and threw her into a bed frame, she testified. Two of his friends “jumped on his back” in an effort to stop him from attacking her.
“When he threw me down, I cut my eyebrows on the corner of my bed,” she testified.
Jurors were shown multiple text exchanges between Combs and Ventura. Jack Forbes / NY Post DesignThe jury was shown a picture of a massive bloody gash on Ventura’s left eyebrow.
Combs later had his security bring her to a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to suture it up — but Ventura was still left with a permanent scar, she said in court.
She later texted Combs a picture of the wound with the message, “so you can remember.”
He replied, “You. Don’t know. When to. Stop. You ave [sic] pushed IT Too far. And continue to push. Sad.”
She wound up styling her hair to cover the injury at the music festival, she said.
Combs texted Ventura in 2016 about wanting her to perform in a “freak-off” without drugs. APCombs also sent Ventura a frantic flurry of messages in the aftermath of his now-infamous caught-on-camera beating of her at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
“Call me now.”
“Call me the cops are here.”
“You’re going to abandon me all alone.”
“Call me pls,” Combs wrote in a series of messages.
He continued.
“Yo, pls call me. I got six kids,” he wrote, apparently attempting to guilt trip her using his children.

Ventura, attempting to defuse the situation, said, “I went and checked everything. I spoke to security . . . as long as you don’t disturb the guests they’ll leave you be.”
Security had responded to the March 5, 2016, disturbance at the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, but did not call the police, according to trial testimony.
After seeing her injuries later, a friend of Ventura’s called the cops, but she did not identify Combs as her attacker and no charges were filed.

REUTERSVentura, a mom of two who is eight months pregnant, spoke softly and matter-of-factly as she delivered her testimony, at times biting her lip as she appeared to be trying to hold back anger during the more upsetting recollections.
Messages she sent showed her frantic and worried that recordings of her taken by Combs during the “freak-offs” would become public.
“I wasn’t supposed to be on those videos. I didn’t want to be in them,” she wrote him once, after a DJ at a party in Atlantic City, NJ, told her he had seen a sexually explicit video featuring her.
“Please delete any video out of your iphone if you have . Too many people have access to your stuf,” she wrote him once, after a DJ at a party in Atlantic City, NJ, told her he had seen a sexually explicit video featuring her.

Asked why she stayed with Combs and continued with the “freak-offs,” Ventura told the court, “I was scared, I just felt trapped.”
She described the first time Combs savagely beat her, when she was just about 21, after she shrugged her shoulders at him as he flirted with another woman inside a restaurant.

He then started “stomping on my face with his foot” during the 10-minute car ride — where she attempted to “defend” and “cover” herself as he ruthlessly attacked her in front of his security guard and driver, she said.
In another revealing text exchange, Ventura told Combs toward the end of their relationship in 2017 that “nothing good” had ever came out of the “freak-offs.”
“You treat me like Ike,” she once wrote Combs of Ike Turner, who subjected his late wife, legendary singer-songwriter Tina Turner, to years of domestic violence.
