Haunting theory that could explain baby oil found at Diddy’s mansion

A new lawsuit has stated what Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly used baby oil for during his infamous “freak offs” as the disgraced star’s lawyers ask for his many accusers to be named.

A recent lawsuit filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs could shed some light on why mountains of baby oil bottles were found by US police when they raided the star’s homes earlier this year.

The lawsuit, which accuses Combs of child sexual assault, claims he laced “lotions or similar body oils” with GHB – commonly known as the “date rape drug”, reports The Sun.

The lawsuit – one of six fresh claims filed in New York earlier this week – details “allegations of Combs dousing victims in lotions or similar body oils … laced with GHB, so that the drug would be absorbed through the victim’s skin and make it easier to assault him or her”.

Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is hard to detect when slipped into a drink and was originally developed as an anaesthetic – producing feelings of drowsiness or relaxation.

It comes in liquid form, powder or crystal form and can be absorbed through the skin when mixed into lubricants.

On March 25 this year authorities raided Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami mansions, seizing over 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

Pictures showed police removing evidence boxes from his home – with an unsealed indictment revealing they had also found narcotics and three AR-15 rifles.

Combs was arrested on September 16 in New York on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

He was charged on three federal counts stemming from allegations that he forced his victims to take part in drug-fuelled sex parties he called “freak offs”.

Meanwhile, Combs on Tuesday posted on Instagram for the first time since he was arrested.

He wished his two-year-old daughter Love a happy birthday and shared several photos of the little girl he fathered with cyber security specialist Dana Tran.

One picture showed Combs laughing while he played with Love at the beach, and the other photos showed the toddler eating birthday cake while wearing a white dress.

Combs wrote: “Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you”.

The rapper is facing a multitude of accusations, including rape and sexual assault from some 120 alleged victims in different criminal and civil lawsuits.

One filed by an unnamed John Doe on Monday accuses him of sexual assault when the alleged victim was only 16.

It describes the disgraced rapper as “a menace to society, women and children”.

Combs has denied the allegations against him, and his lawyer, Marc Agnifilio, has hit out against claims about the amount of baby oil found in his home.

“I don’t think it was 1000. I think it was a lot,” he told the New York Post.

“I mean there is a [bulk buy supermarket 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.”

It comes as lawyers for Combs asked a New York judge to force prosecutors to disclose the names of his accusers in his sex trafficking case.

The lawyers wrote in a letter to a Manhattan federal court judge that the music mogul needs to know the identities of his alleged victims so he can prepare adequately for trial.

“This case is unique, in part because of the number of individuals levying allegations against Mr Combs due to his celebrity status, wealth, and the publicity of his previously settled lawsuit and the grand jury leaks and false inflammatory statements by the DHS agents, as outlined in our previous motion,” Combs’ lawyers said in the letter.

Last week, a May 5 trial date was set for Combs. He has pleaded not guilty.

Combs remains incarcerated in a Brooklyn jail without bail after he was arrested last month on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. His lawyers have asked a federal appeals court to let him be freed to home detention so he can more easily meet with lawyers and prepare for trial. So far, judges have concluded he is a danger to the community and cannot be freed.
