According to testimony from L’Ermitage Beverly Hills hotel general manager
Frédéric Zemmour, Combs consistently racked up an extra $1,000 cleaning fee
every time he checked in. Internal hotel notes presented in court described the
aftermath of his stays as “messy” and “damaging,” citing rooms needing to be
placed “out of order” due to spilled candle wax and liberal use of baby oil.
“Please authorize an extra $1,000
when guest stays with us to cover any room damage,” Combs’ guest profile at the
hotel read.
In one documented case dated January 10, 2010, hotel staff discovered
"large deposits of candle wax on carpets, in the living room area, and on
nightstands." He was charged $500 for that incident. Staff also noted
persistent, unidentified strong odors from his rooms and even had to spray air
freshener in the hallways outside his suite.
Combs was said to demand his room be kept "HOT!" according to
the hotel’s internal communication.
This information was introduced as part of the federal government’s
broader effort to demonstrate patterns of behavior linked to the abuse and
control allegations against Combs, 55. Prosecutors are portraying his hotel
“freak-off” sex parties — characterized by lavish spending, excessive
lubrication, and alleged coercion — as evidence of the disturbing environment
at the center of the criminal case.
The case against Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, includes charges of
sex trafficking, racketeering, and other serious offenses. Federal authorities
have seized images of baby oil, large sums of cash, and visible bruises — all
submitted as part of their evidence.
