Sean “Diddy” Combs Trial: Cassie Ventura Addresses Rumor Baby Oil Was Laced With Drugs
Content warning: This article details alleged sexual acts that some may find graphic.
Cassie Ventura is sharing more about Sean “Diddy” Combs.
As the “Official Girl” singer took the stand for the third day in the rap mogul’s federal sex trafficking trial May 15, she confirmed to the court, per NBC News, that she doesn’t believe there were any drugs in the baby oil that Combs—who she dated on-and-off for more than a decade before their split in 2018—used during his “freak offs.”
After Combs’ September arrest—of which he’s facing charges of sex trafficking, prostitution and racketeering, to which he’s pleaded not guilty—a federal indictment alleged that the rapper organized “freak offs,” or “elaborate sex performances” during which female victims were compelled through “force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers.”
And according to the indictment, obtained by NBC News, among the supplies seized by authorities from Combs’ homes earlier in the year were 1,000 bottles of baby oil. One month later, a separate filing by a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe went on to allege that the baby oil was laced with Rohypnol or GHB to subdue his victims.
“Combs particularly fancied the use of the popular date-rape drug Rohypnol, or GHB,” the Oct. 14 filing alleged, “to commit heinous non-consensual acts of sexual violence and rape against countless victims.”
The lawsuit also referenced existing allegations that accused Combs of “dousing victims in lotions or similar body oils” to allege that these lubricants were laced with GHB “so that the drug would be absorbed through the victim’s skin to make it easier to take advantage of, exploit, and assault him or her.”
Combs’ legal team has since denied all allegations made in theslew of civil lawsuitsfiled against him last October.

But amid the allegations following the rapper’s New York City arrest, Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo attempted to provide an explanation for the abundance of baby oil.
"I don't know where the number 1,000 came from," Agnifilo explained toTMZin a September 25 interview. "I can't imagine it's thousands."
When it was confirmed that the number came directly from the federal document, he went on to say that he wasn’t “really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything,” although it was suggested byTMZ’sHarvey Levinthat the bottles could have been used as lubrication during orgies.
"I guess," Agnifilo replied. "I don't know what you need 1,000—one bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don't know what you'd even need 1,000 for."
