Diddy’s baby oil ‘freak offs’ were ‘a lifestyle not a crime’ and do not make him the new Epstein, rapper’s lawyer says

Diddy’s baby oil-soaked “freak off” orgies were a lifestyle choice, not a crime — and do not make him the next Jeffrey Epstein, the rapper’s lawyer has insisted.

Teny Geragos made these bold claims during his appearance in NewsNationCuomo is set to defend Diddy, hours after he denied racketeering and sex trafficking charges in a federal court in New York.

“He’s innocent,” Geragos told Chris Cuomo after the 54-year-old Diddy — real name Sean Combs — was denied bail and ordered to remain in custody.

The lawyer added: ‘A lifestyle and being present at activities does not mean he committed a crime. Those activities and the lifestyle are not criminal.

“What was striking today, what my partner Mark said in court, is that not once did they say that these women did not consent to what happened, not once.”

Geragos also noted that Diddy was not charged with any crimes involving minors.

“The difference between R. Kelly and Epstein is there are no charges involving minors,” she said.

Diddy went to jail Tuesday to await trial in a federal human trafficking case in which he is accused of running a sordid sex crimes empire protected by blackmail and shocking acts of violence.

He is accused of inducing female victims and male sex workers to engage in sexual acts, sometimes lasting for days under the influence of drugs, known as ‘Freak Offs’.

The indictment also makes passing reference to a videotaped attack on his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie.

“Mr. Combs is a fighter. He’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent,” his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said after the trial. He plans to appeal the bail decision on Wednesday.

Agnifilo acknowledged that Combs was “not a perfect person.” He used drugs and had been in “toxic relationships,” but he received treatment and therapy.

He maintained that the affair arose from a long-term, consensual relationship that teetered amid infidelity. He did not name the woman, but the details matched those of Diddy’s decades-long involvement with Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura.

The ‘Freak Offs’, Agnifilo argued, were an extension of that relationship, not coercive.

“Is it sex trafficking? Not if that’s what everyone wants,” said Agnifilo, who alleged that authorities were interfering in his client’s private life.

The indictment describes Combs as the head of a criminal organization that engaged or attempted to engage in sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for the purpose of prostitution, drug offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.

He then allegedly used violence, threats and coercion to induce the women to engage with male sex workers in the “Freak Offs” – “elaborate and produced sex performances” that Combs arranged and recorded, resulting in dozens of videos.

He kept them in line by buying and delivering drugs, controlling their careers, leveraging his financial support and using intimidation and violence, the indictment said. It said his employees facilitated “Freak Offs” by arranging tasks such as travel and hotel arrangements and providing them with supplies such as drugs and baby oil.

The events could last for days, and Combs and the victims were often given IVs to recover from the exertion and drug use, the complaint said.

During raids on Combs’ homes earlier this year, authorities seized narcotics, videos of the performances and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, prosecutors said. They said agents also seized firearms and ammunition, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers found in his Miami bedroom closet.
