Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, recently gave an interview with TMZ for the upcoming Tubi documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment. In the article published on September 25, Agnifilo stated that federal agents discovered over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant at Diddy’s residences during the March raids because he purchased these items “in bulk” from Costco locations.
“I guess — I don’t know what you need a thousand [for]. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don’t know what you need a thousand for. [Diddy] has a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home,” Marc Agnifilo explained.
The criminal defense attorney also expressed skepticism regarding the figure of “1,000,” asserting that he was unclear about its origin, and stated, “I don’t think it was a thousand. Let’s just say it was a lot.”
Diddy’s Lawyer Discusses Seized Baby Oil Bottles
Earlier this week, Marc Agnifilo spoke with TMZ’s Harvey Levin as part of the ongoing documentary focused on Diddy. He stated that what prosecutors are currently labeling as “freak off” parties were previously referred to as “threesomes” in the late ‘70s.
However, the unsealed grand jury indictment described “freak offs” as “elaborate sexual performances” where young and often underage girls were reportedly forced through “force, threats… and coercion, to engage in extended sexual acts with male commercial sex workers.” U.S. Attorneys have accused Diddy of hosting such gatherings while allegedly observing or recording these “freak offs,” often without the consent of the female participants.
Marc Agnifilo further contended that Diddy reportedly utilized the extensive stockpile of baby oil and lubricant seized by federal agents for “threesomes” rather than “freak offs.”
“I don’t know where the number ‘1,000′ came from. I can’t imagine it’s thousands [of bottles of baby oil and lube], and I’m not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything.”
When the interviewer suggested that the baby oil may have been used as “a lubricant for an orgy,” the attorney reiterated that such speculation could not justify thousands of bottles, indicating that the most plausible explanation was Diddy’s bulk purchasing from warehouse stores like Costco.
“I mean, have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with?”
This is not the first time Marc Agnifilo addressed the claim of 1,000 bottles of baby oil. Last week, in an exclusive interview with the New York Post, the attorney remarked that “1,000” was an exaggerated figure, suggesting it was closer to simply “a lot.”
“I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know. And you know these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do. You know, we can’t get so puritanical in this country to think that somehow sex is a bad thing, because, if it was, there would be no more people,” Marc told the NY Post.
For those who may not know, Diddy’s properties in Miami and Los Angeles were raided this year by federal agents as part of a Homeland Security Investigation related to sexual trafficking allegations mentioned in various lawsuits involving him. Over 1,000 bottles of baby oil, a large quantity of lubricants, firearms including three AR-15s, and other items such as “controlled substances… extra linens, and lighting” were confiscated from the mogul’s residences.
In the meantime, Sean Combs was taken into custody by federal authorities at the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City on September 16 after a grand jury indictment. He is currently being held without bond at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center under suicide watch.
Diddy faces three felony charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arraigned at Manhattan Federal Court on September 17, where he was denied bail twice despite pleading “not guilty,” as prosecutors claimed he posed a “serious flight risk.” If convicted, Diddy could face 15 years to life in federal prison.
