Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyer explains why rapper had 1,000 baby oil bottles amid sex trafficking probe
Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyer shed light on the large quantity of baby oil found by authorities in the rapper's home as he is facing charges of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
In a preview of TMZ's upcoming documentary The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, Combs' lawyer Marc Agnifilo gave his two cents on the 1,000 bottles of baby oil that were seized by police in the rapper's homes in Beverly Hills and Miami.
"I don't know where the number 1,000 came [from]. I can't imagine it's thousands. I'm not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything," Agnifilo said.
When it was suggested that the oils were used as a lubricant for orgies, Agnifilo said, "I guess. I don't know what you need 1,000—one bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don't know what you'd even need 1,000 for."
"He has a big house, he buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home," he added. "I don't think it was a thousand. I think it was—let's just say it's a lot."
Combs was arrested by federal agents in New York on Sept. 17 (Philippine time) and accused in a three-count criminal indictment alleging he sexually abused women and coerced them into drug-fueled sex parties using threats and violence.
The so-called "Freak Offs" allegedly had female victims being forced to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers, which were planned and controlled by Combs and often videotaped.
Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, described the Freak Offs as sessions that "sometimes lasted days at a time... and often involved a variety of narcotics such as ketamine, ecstasy and GHB."
"The indictment alleges that Combs threatened and coerced victims to get them to participate in the Freak Offs," he said.
The 54-year-old rapper was further claimed to have "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct" for decades.
Combs made his debut as a music artist with his 1997 studio album No Way Out, which was met with significant commercial success. He has since boasted a number of major signed acts and production collaborations with the likes of Mary J Blige, Usher, Lil' Kim, TLC, Mariah Carey, and Boyz II Men.
