AceShowbiz - Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' attorney has explained the large amount of baby oil that Homeland Security found at his homes during the raids in March. Marc Agnifilo has dismissed the notion that the rapper had as much as 1,000 bottles of baby oil at his houses in Beverly Hills and Miami.
Speaking to TMZ, Agnifilo defended Diddy's so-called "freak off" parties. "They call them freak offs. But, you know, back when I was a kid in the late '70s, they were called threesomes," he said in the virtual interview which was released on Wednesday, September 25.
"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," the attorney said.
When the interviewer explained that the baby oil could be used as "a lubricant for an orgy," Agnifilo responded, "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. I mean, have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with?" he went on claiming, before concluding, "I don't think it was a thousand. Let's just say it was a lot."
Agnifilo also downplayed the number of baby oil and lubes found at the rapper's houses during a previous interview with The New York Post. "I don't think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know," he told the publication.
He also asserted, "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."
Diddy was taken into custody in New York City on Monday night, September 16. He was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel where he was staying and was subsequently charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was denied bail twice and currently remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he's placed on suicide watch.
Despite the preventive measure taken by jail authority, Agnifilo said of his client, "He's just laser-focused, he's engaged, he's helpful, he's confident. We're going through our defense as we do every day and his spirits are relatively good."
