You did hit on something very important here that no one else mentioned... it's not OPs fault, regardless of how this all shakes down. They've done all they can to try to help their friend, but you can't get someone to see what's right in front of their face if they don't want to.
I've been on both sides of this myself, and as much as it's awful to see your friends going through something like this.. you can't just talk someone out of an abusive relationship, not unless things have already hit that breaking point, just as surely as you can't talk someone out of quitting smoking if they don't want to quit.
The only thing you can do OP is what you did, and then be there for your friend when this all goes down in flames, and I strongly suspect it will, this sort of behavior almost always escalates.
IIN that a guy won't let his girlfriend have her own social media accounts?
