In the indictment against Combs, he was accused of forcing victims to have "freak offs," which prosecutors describe as "elaborate and produced sex performances."
He allegedly used his fame and influence as well as drugs like cocaine, ketamine and oxycodone, to coerce and intimidate women to join the "freak offs." Additionally, the "freak offs” were sometimes allegedly captured on camera without the victims' knowledge. Federal investigators seized three AR-15 rifles and 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant when raiding his Miami and Los Angeles homes this past March.
Alright so these are like what? Nude wrestling matches covered in oil and stuff? I feel like this is probably playing it down and it's actually much worse than that.
well, then you have to have somebody who is dispensing it into smaller bottles, and the smaller bottles need to be cleaned and refilled regularly
probably easier to convince the victims to use these liquids when they're clearly labelled by the manufacturer instead of individual bottles of questionable contents and cleanliness
You're not overthinking it. The complexity of the logistics of getting lubricant in mass quantities to your sexual assault victims can't be overstated. I'm guessing they weren't pinching pennies so a convenient, disposable solution likely won the decision.
COMBS, and other members and associates of the Combs Enterprise, wielded the power and prestige of COMBS' role at the Combs Business to intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims into COMBS' orbit, often under the pretense of a romantic relationship. COMBS then used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers that COMBS referred to as, among other things, "Freak Offs." Freak Offs were elaborate and produced sex performances that COMBS arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded. In arranging these Freak Offs, COMBS, with the assistance of members and associates of the Combs Enterprise, transported, and caused to be transported, commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally. Freak Offs occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers. During Freak Offs, COMBS distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant. Sometimes unbeknownst to the victims, COMBS kept videos he filmed of victims engaging in sex acts with commercial sex workers. After Freak Offs, COMBS and the victims typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use.
COMBS subjected victims to physical, emotional, and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage in Freak Offs. COMBS maintained control over his victims through, among other things, physical violence, promises of career opportunities, granting and threatening to withhold financial support, and by other coercive means, including tracking their whereabouts, dictating the victims' appearance, monitoring their medical records, controlling their housing, and supplying them with controlled substances. During and separate from Freak Offs, COMBS, among other things, hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair. These assaults often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal. COMBS also threatened victims' careers and livelihoods, including if they resisted participating in Freak Offs. Victims believed they could not refuse COMBS' demands without risking their financial or job security or without repercussions in the form of physical or emotional abuse. COMBS also used the sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings that he made during Freak Offs as collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims.
It sounds like he was forcing people to make live action porn for him, which is weird and bad on its own, but made worse by the fact that it could go on for multiple days straight
Sounded to me like people getting high off meth and heroin and fucking in giant piled up piles till they passed out. Then like some people still fucking. Like, in the bad way

He must've been buying pallets of individual bottles and it never crossed his mind to just buy it by the barrel.

I hope I don't end up on a list for this comment.

Probably worried about going out like a slippery Jimmy Hoffa.
From the indictment:
God damn, Get Him To the Greek was bad but now looking back at it, holy shit was he telling on himself.
Yeah that's much much worse than the news is making it sound.
