Cassie Ventura's gruelling last day on Diddy Combs case

Scores of newly released text messages between Sean “Diddy” Combs and his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura give a raw look into their volatile 11-year relationship as the disgraced music mogul is tried on federal sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan.

The sexually explicit messages, which span across 162 pages of legal documents, were made public after the Bad Boys Records founder’s legal team tried to cast Ventura as a willing participant in Combs’ depraved “freak-offs.”

Other text messages outline disagreements between the couple – with Ventura, 38, accusing the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper of treating her like a “sidepiece” and him telling her to contact him when she gets “[herself] together.”

This week jurors were shown one 2017 message where Ventura told Combs “I’m too excited” about one of their upcoming “freak-offs.”

She also messaged Combs that she forgot an iPad — which she testified they used to record the sex marathons.

Combs once texted Ventura to “have fun, impress me” when she was on her way to a sex shop to get supplies for a “freak-off,” jurors learned.

The court also saw messages between the couple sent on May 26, 2017 — near the end of their relationship — about her run to a sex shop called the Pleasure Chest. Ventura testified that when she went to the X-rated store, she “would get different sexual supplies. Lubricants, outfits.”

The latest information comes after Ventura, who is eight months pregnant, spent the week recounting in painstaking detail alleged rape, coerced sex, beatings and other horrors she endured at the hands of the embattled record producer during the on-again, off-again relationship between 2007 and 2018.

Combs, 55, is accused of trafficking women for sex during the “freak-offs” and other serious crimes.

He has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison, if convicted.
