The jury saw messages between Sean “Diddy” Combs and his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura between March 12 and 14, 2017.

Combs sent Ventura a hotel room number and then told her to call him. Hours later, Ventura texted him, “wtf really? I think it’ll always be black and white. You threw out all of my s**t.”

In later messages, she said “you best my head in,” later correcting it to “beat**.”

“You’re crazy,” Combs responded. “Lets stop talking you dead wrong, flipping on me for what.”

“Aint flipping, I can come back so we can talk but you know I fight,” Ventura texted him.

In later messages, Combs said “So we’re clear this time, we’re taking a break? This is really how you want to leave this? You sure?”

“No I just don’t want to be beat down for being defiant or ever,” Ventura responded. “You treat me and make me feel like I don’t matter.”

“You started all of this,” Combs wrote in part.

“I guess I’m not down with abuse. It doesn’t make sense to me,” Ventura texted him.

She later wrote, “you hit me in my head two good times. That didn’t make me feel good. I know I’m not crazy.”

“I’m hurt. … You have disrespected so much in last 12 months,” Combs responded in part.

“Wow you think you talking to on [sic] of your little f**kboys. They can have you with that s**t I’m not taking no more.”

Later in the conversation, Combs asked Ventura if she had ever gotten numbers for female escorts.

Ventura texted Combs on March 18, 2017, “You’re at a point in your life where you want to party and have good time,” and “I have to focus or I’ll never become anything.”

She also wrote, “I had so much fun in Miami then I realized I opened the door to that being my sole purpose in seeing you.”

“I knew if I said no to it in New York it would’ve been a problem,” she continued.

“You treat me like a hooker to be honest. You always want to call one and you have one. This hooker has been here for 10 years.”

Combs responded, “wow.”

“Please don’t play victim. If you can go to our last messages. That’s all you wanted and that’s why I was upset,” Ventura wrote. “I love our FOs when we both want it.”
