Diddy's Lawyer On Baby Oil: What's Wrong With Buying In Bulk?
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer shrugged off a question about baby oil, saying that Americans like "buying in bulk."
- 9 minutes
Following Sean Diddy Combs arrest
last week, it was revealed that
[00:00:15]
federal agents confiscated 1000 bottles
of lube and baby oil from Combs properties
following the raids on his home.
Here's how Diddy's lawyer,
Marc Agnifilo, tried to justify
the apocalyptic amount of baby oil.
[00:00:33]
Take a look.
Been with him since 8:00 this morning.
And it's about almost 3:00 now.
He's just laser focused.
He's engaged, he's helpful.
He's confident.
You know, we're we're going
through our defense as we do every day.
[00:00:50]
And he's his spirits are relatively good.
How do you explain
the baby oil in the lubricants?
A thousand bottles of baby oil.
I don't think it was a thousand.
I think it was a lot.
I mean, there's a Costco
right down the street.
You know, I think Americans
buy in bulk, as we know.
[00:01:07]
And, you know, this is this is consensual
adults doing what consensual adults do.
You know, we we can't get so puritanical
in this country to think that somehow
sex is a bad thing, because if it was,
there'd be no more people.
So we'll get to the rest
of that in a second.
[00:01:22]
On the good spirits point did he was did
he was placed on suicide watch recently
and Agnifilo even wrote a bail proposal
earlier this week that the conditions
Combs is living in are horrific.
[00:01:37]
But on the lube and the indictment,
here's a refresher.
Combs transported and caused
to be transported commercial sex workers
across state lines and internationally
to engage in days long freak offs.
The document describes freak offs
as elaborate and produced sex performances
[00:01:56]
that Combs arranged, directed,
masturbated during,
and often electronically recorded
victims and employees were forced
to participate through extreme coercion.
The indictment also notes including
physical, emotional and verbal abuse.
[00:02:12]
It also alleges that victims believed they
could not refuse Combs's demands without
risking their financial or job security,
or without repercussions in the form
of physical or emotional abuse.
Combs would use the recordings
from the freak offs as collateral
[00:02:28]
against victims, Williams said Tuesday.
Supplies for these performances
were found during the raids on his homes,
including narcotics and more than 1000
bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
Now keep in mind Agnifilo didn't
give any sort of justification
[00:02:45]
for the drugs, videos or guns,
which included three AR 15 seconds
with the serial numbers scratched off.
But could you get all of that
at Costco as well?
That's the question that we have here,
but I guess not because Costco rebuked
their claims that Diddy bought all
[00:03:04]
of his baby oil at Costco in response
to Agnello's claim that the baby oil could
have been purchased in bulk at Costco.
The retailer told TMZ in a statement
that they do not sell baby oil
in any of the United States locations.
[00:03:20]
Is that the big that's
the big takeaway here, I guess.
No problem.
- I didn't.
- Know that.
And now I'll know in case
anybody's planning a freak off.
So I do have some thoughts on that,
but at first I was like,
why is he mentioning that?
He was with him from eight
in the morning to 3 p.m.
And that he was fine?
Then you find out, oh, right.
[00:03:37]
Like he was thinking
of committing suicide.
That's why he's saying,
no, no, he's fine, he's fine.
And so we'll get back
to that in a second, too.
The buying in bulk line was hilarious.
- It was.
- Hilarious.
The buying in bulk defense. Yeah.
It's Americans buy in bulk.
Who doesn't have a.
[00:03:55]
Thousand rolls
of toilet paper in their house.
Right now?
And also, do you think I mean Costco?
Yeah. All right.
Who among us does?
- Or a.
- Thousand toothpaste?
Exactly right. Just in case.
Just in case. Well, they don't sell it.
That's the other thing.
Hey, I don't believe he lives
that close to a Costco.
[00:04:12]
And B, I love that Costco doesn't sell it.
But that buy in bulk line
wasn't as good as I mean, look, we have
to have sex, otherwise there wouldn't be
any more people, right?
I mean, did he did it to save humanity?
That's like Donald Trump saying all those
dead people who won't come back, right?
[00:04:28]
Yeah, well, that's also true.
Look, but the line he said in the middle
is really the heart of this.
He said, look, they're consensual adults.
And to me.
So they put all the salacious part
of the freak offs in this story,
and I actually don't find them relevant.
Except for some parts of them make me
believe that it was partly consensual.
[00:04:46]
So to me, what matters is
consensual or not consensual.
Now, of course, other parts make it appear
to be non-consensual,
and that's what we should be focusing on.
Well, he's the defense attorney.
So he's going to say that exactly
that it was consensual
because that's the crux of the case.
[00:05:03]
Right.
But when you hear these allegations
from Williams, it makes it seem like they
might not have been so consensual.
If you felt like your job
was being held over you.
So I would not even inch
toward considering.
We also saw.
A story today that one
of the tapes is now in investigators
[00:05:18]
investigator's possession.
And we saw a couple months ago a tape of
Diddy chasing his partner or girlfriend,
somebody an associate down the hallway
of a hotel after she tried to escape
because he was locking her in there,
who knows what they were doing,
and assaulted her physically
[00:05:35]
and dragged her back to the hotel room.
So this is not somebody I'm willing
to give the benefit of the doubt to,
especially on all this stuff
when you have multiple people
alleging the same set of facts.
Yeah. I want to be clear.
So after we showed that tape to you guys,
I did a segment on it
as soon as it came out.
[00:05:51]
I was like, I'm done with Diddy.
Like, this is open and shut
in terms of what kind of a person he is.
So which was huge
because you were all diddy all the time.
Yeah.
- Like I. Was like, so.
- Who's my daddy?
Puff. Right.
- Okay.
- Who's my diddy p?
[00:06:06]
Anyways, so.
But the reason I bring that the
conceptual non-consensual part is like,
I don't care if it's consensual,
if you're doing freak offs and you bought
a thousand bottles of lube, I don't care.
You recorded it, I don't care. Right.
But if you're using that as collateral
against the victims
[00:06:22]
or you force them into it.
Or like, what are we doing
with 1000 bottles of lube?
It like, was he sex trafficking them?
That's one of the charges.
So what I'm a little bit surprised is
that there isn't more detail on that part.
Like, I get the salacious stuff
is getting everybody's attention.
[00:06:39]
Right? But.
Yeah, but did he like I.
It's not clear from the stories.
Did he use the women?
Like, was he a pimp?
That's what I'm trying to get at.
Right.
Was he using the women to, in, in getting
Johns to come in and pay for sex?
[00:06:55]
And was that against their will?
In which case, open and shut?
This is this thing is totally over.
Right.
So I'm a little frustrated
that they're like, I get it.
It's funny, the 1000 bottles of lube,
and it makes you think that maybe they're
doing this in a professional way, right?
They're manufacturing
this particular industry.
[00:07:12]
Right.
But get to the heart of it,
which is the crimes, as opposed to,
oh, I can't believe he's such a freak.
And he was, you know,
doing this or that while he was watching.
I don't care about that part.
Just a little bit more context
on the defense attorney,
so he and his colleague are known
for representing people like this.
[00:07:31]
They represented a former
Goldman Sachs managing director,
the Nxivm founder Keith Raniere,
who was convicted of sex trafficking.
And that legal team him and his partner
brought together the who's who
of criminal defense lawyers, known for
aggressive approaches and representing men
[00:07:47]
accused of violent sex crimes,
like Arthur Aidala who represented
Weinstein, and Jennifer Bonjean,
who represented R Kelly and Bill Cosby.
Yeah, I get it.
First of all, their lawyers,
they got to do their job, I understand.
[00:08:02]
They didn't have to take those cases.
Okay, whatever. I'm going to let that go.
And they have a certain expertise,
and P Diddy needs their expertise.
I get all that.
Having said that, when you hire the guys
who always defend, you know, terrible sex,
[00:08:20]
you know, criminals.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, at least let's put it this way.
If you're in a lot of trouble.
If you're like,
if you're, you know, indicted for murder.
You're going to get someone
with the expertise
if you can afford it in murder cases.
And that would be mean
that they defended lots of murderers.
[00:08:37]
So, I mean, it's just the way
the legal system.
- I hear you, but.
- Also.
Are these the best people
to do that because.
They keep losing? Yeah.
Exactly. Right.
Yeah.
- Well that's the argument, right?
- Right.
And not only that, but it does
like evoke like, hey, I don't worry, guys.
I hired Weinstein
and Cosby's lawyer right now.
[00:08:56]
I think you should probably worry, right?
It's not a great look on.
I think it's more what.
Jordan is saying is that they,
you know, they like eventually you got
to send that picture down
to the minors if they keep losing.
