Baby oil defence

Probably the most talked-about seizure at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ properties has been that of the “more than 1,000 bottles” of baby oil.  When asked by the New York Post about this, this is what Comb’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, had to say:

I don’t think it was a thousand. 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.  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.

Then there was this exchange with TMZ:

Marc Agnifilo: They call them ‘Freak Offs’.  But, you know, back when I was a kid in the late seventies, they were called threesomes.

TMZ: If these are genuinely threesomes, how you explain a thousand bottles of baby oil?

MA: I don’t know where the number of 1,000 came—

TMZ: The US Attorney said it.

MA: I can’t imagine it’s thousands.  And I’m not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything.

TMZ: They’re essentially saying it’s a lubricant—for an orgy.

MA: I guess—I don’t know what you need a thousand… One bottle of baby oil goes a long way.  I don’t know what you need a thousand for.  I mean, he has a big house.  He buys in bulk, you know, I think they have Costcos in every place he has a home.  Have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out with?

TMZ: Not a thousand bottles of baby oil.

MA: I don’t think it was a thousand. I think it was, I think it was—let’s just say it’s a lot.

And this is what TMZ eventually reported about the Costco connection:

A spokesperson for Costco tells TMZ ... none of the company's U.S. locations carry baby oil, even though Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo told us the rap mogul might have bought the item in bulk at the members-only warehouse retailer.

The proof is in the pudding, so to speak ... as a quick search of the store's site shows there's nothing akin to baby oil offered at Costco. There is, however, hair and cleansing gel sold for babies, but it'd be a stretch to confuse that with baby oil.

Oh, and nothing pops up when you look for "body oil," either ... which could be mistaken for baby oil.

For good measure, we also took a peek at the Sam's Club website ... because it's entirely possible someone mixed up the 2 retailers. Yet, like Costco, there's no baby oil for sale there either.

Although, there is a Johnson's Moisturizing Pink Baby Lotion with Coconut Oil available for purchase ... though, this product is not mentioned in the federal indictment.
