All the bombshells from the ‘Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment’ documentary
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ past came back to haunt him in TMZ’s documentary, “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.”
Several people spoke out against and in support of the disgraced rapper in the bombshell hour-long special released Thursday, following his arrest in New York City on Sept. 16.
Combs, 54, currently sits behind bars on charges of sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering after the feds raided his Miami and Los Angeles mansions in March.
According to an unsealed indictment, findings alleged the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper — who pleaded not guilty and has denied all charges against him — “coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires.”He also allegedly “[created] a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in … sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

Combs’ lawyer explains the 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube
Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, told the outlet why the feds found a ton of lubricant and baby oil at the Bad Boys Records founder’s home during the March raids.
“I don’t know where the number a thousand came [from] … I can’t imagine it’s thousands. I’m not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything,” he said.
TMZ founder Harvey Levin explained the prosecutors assumed Combs used the product as “lubricant for an orgy.”
“I guess. I don’t know what you need a thousand — one bottle of baby oil goes a long way,” Agnifilo said in response.
The attorney speculated the “Act Bad” rapper may have purchased the products from Costco or another wholesale corporation.
“I mean, he has a big house. He buys in bulk, you know,” Agnifilo added.
Costco slammed the allegations in a statement to TMZ, saying they don’t carry baby oil.
Combs plans on testifying
According to Combs’ attorney, the Bad Boy Records founder will testify and is “very eager to tell his story.”
Agnifilo shared that Combs also wants to tell his side of the story about the 2016 hotel security video of him attacking his ex-girlfriend of nearly a decade Cassie Ventura.
“He has his story and he has a story that I think only he can tell in the way he can tell it in real-time,” he said. “And it’s a human story. It’s a story of love. It’s a story of hurt. It’s a story of heartbreak.”
Combs is also expected to be questioned about his “freak-off” parties and allegedly blowing up Kid Cudi’s car amid the “Day ‘n’ Nite” crooner’s brief romance with Ventura in 2012.
The rapper might also be questioned about the details in Ventura’s November 2023 lawsuit, in which she accused him of rape, abuse and forcing her to have sex with prostitutes.
Ventura, 38, and Combs settled the lawsuit one day after it was filed and his lawyer at the time said, “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing.”
Combs’ lawyers will argue Cassie’s abuse video is not related to the charges
Agnifilo is aware the video of Combs abusing Ventura will be brought up at the trial but argues it doesn’t relate to the charges his client was arrested for.
“It’s hard to watch for anyone,” Agnifilo said of the video. “That being said, it is not evidence of sex trafficking. There was a certain level of toxicity and drug use in the 10-year relationship between Mr. Combs and the woman that he was in love with.”
He continued, “Their difficulties did not stem from their intimate time together. Their difficulties stemmed from that she was cheating on him and he was cheating on her … It’s not related to the charge.”
Combs apologized for his behavior in the video when it was leaked earlier this year.
Combs is staying positive despite being on suicide watch
Last week, Combs was placed on suicide watch after he was denied bail.
Per the US Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections, suicide watch is when “supervisory precautions [are] taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation.”
The embattled music mogul, however, is staying positive, according to his lawyer.
