P Diddy plans to testify in court as lawyer claims he bought baby oil in bulk 'at Costco'

A bombshell documentary about P Diddy will be screened by TMZ tonight with an explosive interview with the shamed rapper's lawyer Marc Agnifilo, who claims he wants to take to the stand and tell his story in his own words of 'love, hurt and heartbreak'.

P Diddy is eager to take to the stand and to testify in court, including discussing a video which shows him violently assaulting his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016, and explaining why agents found 1,000 bottles of baby oil at his home.

Security video showed Sean “Diddy” Combs attacking singer Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.

His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, says Diddy wants to tell his story of “love, hurt and heartbreak” in order to defend himself against the optics of the assault video as well as the more pressing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The attorney also suggests that Diddy could have bought his baby oil in bulk at Costco because there are Costco stores near all his houses.

He also says the freak out parties would have been called threesomes in his day rather than orgies.

In a dynamite interview for a documentary to be aired tonight (Thursday, September 26) by TMZ Studios on Tubi, Agnifilo will also claim the US government started building their case to take down a "successful black man".

Agnifilo will be heard telling TMZ’s reporter: “I don't know that I could keep him off the stand. I think he is very eager to tell his story, and I think he will tell every part of his story, including what you see on the video. So I expect it's going to be explained by the both of us.”

He adds: “The United States government, they start making this case as a takedown of a successful black man.”

TMZ Presents the Downfall of Diddy, The Indictment is available Thursday night (LA time) on Tubi.

Agnifilo says: “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, and it's a human story. It's a story of love. It's a story of hurt. It's a story of heartbreak. I mean, when he describes that relationship, the word he uses more than any other word is heartbreak. He was heartbroken.”

Of the parties at which Diddy is alleged to have raped women, Agnifilo said: “They call them freak-offs. But you know, back when I was a kid, in the late 70s, they were called threesomes.”

Asked if they are genuinely threesomes, how he explains the 1000 bottles of baby oil found by Feds, Agnifilo replies: “I don't know where the number 1000 came from. I can't imagine it’s thousands.

“I mean, you know, and I'm not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything.

“I don't know why you need 1000. One bottle of a baby oil goes a long way.

“I mean, he has a big house. He buys in bulk. You know, I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home.

“I mean, have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with? I don't think it was 1000.”
