A former record label executive Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has spoken out about the scale of the rapper’s infamous partying as part of a documentary exploring his alleged debauchery.
LaJoyce Brookshire is the latest person to work in Diddy’s inner circle to share information about the life of notoriety and excess lived by the artist, who for decades has been lauded as rap royalty.
Now like Diddy sits alone in an isolation cell in a notorious new york city jail facing a series of racketeering and sex trafficking conspiracy charges, Brookshire – a former publicity director who worked with Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment – revealed how she could see things were getting out of hand.
‘My spidey senses were always on high alert. And I know there is no security after a certain time.
“When there are drinks flowing and people behind your back doing drugs in the bathrooms, and 2 or 3 people leaving the bathroom together…
When asked by TMZ’s Harvey Levin if any nefarious acts occurred at the parties, she said, “Could there be?” Absolutely. Did I see it? No. I never stayed late at the party to watch… I felt it.

The 54-year-old rapper has been held in a New York City jail since his arrest last week, deemed by authorities to be “too great a threat to the community” to be let out even after posting $50 million bail. of dollars.
He is accused of presiding over a sordid empire of sexual crimes and physical abuse, and could spend the rest of his life behind bars if convicted of all charges.
He denies the allegations.
Brookshire’s comments come as wholesale retail giant Costco denied selling baby oil in response to a statement from Diddy’s lawyer, who suggested the rapper had so many bottles in his house because he likes to buy in bulk, like any American. normal.
The rapper’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilio, gave the bizarre explanation earlier this week when asked about the more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil that federal agents reportedly found in Diddy’s Miami home.
“I don’t think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot. I mean, there’s a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know,” Agnifilo told the New York Post.
“And you know, these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do, you know, we can’t be so puritanical in this country to think that somehow sex is a bad thing because if it were there wouldn’t be more people.”
But Costco, the only one-member retailer, has now said TMZ Thursday that they do not sell baby oil at any of their locations nationwide.

Costco, the only one-member retailer, told TMZ on Thursday that they do not sell baby oil at any of their locations nationwide.
Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, has been accused of staging ‘Freak Offs’, described as ‘elaborate and produced sexual performances’ arranged and directed by the star while he masturbated and often recorded them.
In addition to the baby oil stash, prosecutors say they also found bondage materials, sex tapes, hidden cameras and rooms designed for sexual performances.
The indictment claimed that some ‘Freak Offs’ would last for days, requiring Diddy, 54, and the victims to receive intravenous fluids to recover from exertion and drug use.
He has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, extortion and transportation for prostitution.
Agnifilio said his client feels positive about his chances in court.
“He’s just focused, he’s committed, he’s helpful, he’s confident.” “We are going over our defense like we do every day and their mood is relatively good.”
Marc Agnifilio said the bottles likely came from Costco and questioned whether there were even 1,000.

Diddy’s arrest came 10 months after accusations of sexual and other abuse against the music mogul, and an announcement by prosecutors that he was being investigated for sex trafficking.
The allegations began with a lawsuit filed by Diddy’s ex, Cassie Ventura, who claimed the star beat and raped her.
The lawsuit was settled the day after it became public, but Diddy has since been dogged by other claims.
The indictment against him also alleges that he coerced and abused women for years while using blackmail and shocking acts of violence to keep his victims in line.
He refers indirectly to an attack on his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, which was captured on video.
Prosecutors wanted him imprisoned. His lawyers proposed that he be released on $50 million bail and placed under house arrest with electronic monitoring. US Judge Robyn Tarnofsky sided with the government.
Like many older hip-hop figures, Bad Boy Records founder Diddy had established a gentler public image.
The father of seven was a respected businessman whose annual ‘White Party’ in the Hamptons was once a must-visit treat for the jet-setting elite.
But prosecutors said he facilitated his crimes using the same companies, people and methods that brought him to power.
They said they would prove the charges with financial and travel records, electronic communications and videos of the ‘Freak Offs’.
In March, authorities raided Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Florida, seizing drugs, videos and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, prosecutors said.
They said agents also confiscated weapons and ammunition, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers.
A conviction on each count would require 15 years of mandatory prison with the possibility of life in prison.
