Armon Wiggins is clearing the air after a crowd doused him in baby oil outside the courthouse on Wednesday (June 2). Wiggins has been on the ground covering Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs‘ trial for an audience of 400,000+ across several platforms for the last few weeks. Now, he’s defending his credibility as his fans are fighting against widespread criticism in the comment sections!

Armon Wiggins Says Sorry To “Anyone Who Was Impacted”
The vlogger shared a statement on his social media on Thursday (June 3). He says viewers are taking the video out of context, and weren’t meant to show support for Diddy.
“What started as a light-hearted moment part of a long-running joke with my audience was misinterpreted as support for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. That was never my intention.”
Wiggins said he’s spent the last 60 days covering Diddy’s trial with “honesty and objectivity.” He said the baby oil moment was about “sharing a bit of levity” with his online community, but understands the timing and optics are hurtful. In closing, he apologized to anyone the post hurt and disappointed.
“This has been a reminder to move with greater care, and I remain committed to doing this work with integrity and heart,” Armon Wiggins wrote in the statement. His social media caption added, “I’m learning, I’m listening, and I’m moving with even more care and clarity.”
What’s The Context Behind The Video?
For context, the video of Armon Wiggins outside the Manhattan courthouse shows the crowd squirting bottles of baby oil. When it started, he had a shirt on, but ultimately ended up shirtless. He repeatedly encouraged them to throw “more oil, more oil” on him. His followers have been defending the phrases he used, saying it’s an inside joke with them that’s been going on throughout the trial. They heavily rejected any suggestion that Armon supports Diddy or the verdict. Still, social media is sounding off about his choice to cut up with baby oil.

At the opposite ends of the trial, Cassie and “Jane” both testified about how baby oil was an essential aspect of “freak offs” and “hotel nights.” Their recollections included emotional memories about sex marathons that sometimes lasted days with male sex workers. Both women testified that Diddy enjoyed observing the acts while in disguise, and while they participated in acts, they had testified to expressing discomfort and opposition at times.

I love to see this. ❤️
That’s literally what I was saying, the optics looked worse than what it actually was based on people’s emotions.
