“I guess,” Agnifilo replied. “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.”

And as for why he believes the music mogul had such a large store of baby oil to begin with?

“He has a big house, he buys in bulk,” Agnifilo claimed. “I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home.”

He joked, “Have you sat in the parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with?”

And for the final number of a 1,000 bottles of baby oil, Agnifilo was hesitant to believe the quantity, saying, “I don’t think it was a thousand. I think it was—let’s just say it’s a lot.”

, obtained by E! News, the “Freak Offs” were described as “elaborate **** performances” during which female victims were compelled through “force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended **** acts with male commercial **** workers.”

The 54-year-old was also accused in the document of arranging, directing, ************* during and often “electronically recording” the Freak Offs, as well as of transporting commercial **** workers “across state lines and internationally.”

“During Freak Offs, Combs distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant,” the indictment read, adding the victims and Combs often received IV fluids to recover from the exertion and ***** use. “Sometimes unbeknownst to the victims, Combs kept videos he filmed of victims engaging in **** acts with commercial **** workers.”

“Yesterday, there was a ****** overuse of military-level force as search warrants were ********* at Mr. Combs’ residences,” attorney Aaron Dyer said in a March 26 statement to E! News. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”

Dyer noted Combs “was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.”

“Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way,” his lawyer’s statement continued. “This unprecedented ambush—paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence—leads to a ********** rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”

And Dyer expressed Combs’ intent to defend himself.

“There has been no finding of ********* or civil liability with any of these allegations,” he added. “Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to ****** every single day to clear his name.”

According to the Miami-Dade arrest affidavit obtained by the outlet, Paul was taken into custody for allegedly possessing suspected ******** and suspected ********** candy.

in the lobby of a New York hotel on Sept. 16, 2024, according to NBC News. It’s unclear what Combs has been charged with and if the arrest has any potential connection to the raids.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” his lawyer Marc Agnifilo said in a statement to E! News. “He is an imperfect person but Is not *********. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.”

The lawyer added, “Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

on Sept. 17.

The 54-year-old was charged with racketeering ***********; **** trafficking by force, ****** or coercion; as well as transportation to engage in prostitution, according to court documents obtained by NBC News.

The indictment alleged Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his ******* desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct” for more than a decade, with prosecutors saying the purported behavior started around 2008.

“To do so,” the documents stated, “Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled—creating a ********* enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other *******, **** trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

“He’s going to ****** this with all of his energy and all of his might,” his attorney Marc Agnifilo told reporters outside the courthouse prior to the arraignment, “and the full confidence of his lawyers.”

Following his arrest, Combs was held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center where he was denied a $50 million bond. The music mogul was also placed on ******** watch, which a source told E! News is a customary procedure for high-profile inmates.

He was assigned the same area of the jail as cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, a source told NBC News.
