At Harriet's, Landon reportedly ordered bottle service -- and the DJ at the joint sent out servers carrying bottles of baby oil with flashing lights inside ... a clear reference to the federal government's claim more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found in raids of Diddy's homes earlier this year. We're told one of the servers tried to hand Landon a bottle of baby oil, which he refused.

00:00So, there was a celebration last night for Landon Barker's 21st birthday.
00:08It was at a club in the L.A. area, and one of the DJs who was there, or the DJ who was
00:16there, decided to make what he said was a joke involving baby oil.
00:23We've got a special program in the building, and we're going to get it really freaky tonight.
00:27We're going to get it teeny freaky tonight.
00:29Happy birthday to you!
00:31We've got a baby in the building!
00:33We have a baby!
00:35We've got 1943!
00:37Well, that video landed on social media, and of course, there's been a firestorm of reaction
00:42to it.
00:43That's Landon there in the middle of all of his friends.
00:47You see them circling the baby oil around his head.
00:51It is, I think, fair that we should notice there that he is not holding the baby oil.
00:56In fact, we were told he refused to take one.
00:59This was done by the club and the DJ, and this was not done at the behest of Landon,
01:07and again, you see him there.
01:09He did not want to take that.
01:10Did not want to take it, but unfortunately for Landon, he is the celebrity in the room,
01:15and so people online are going off saying that this was really insensitive in light
01:21of the allegations against Diddy.
01:23The way I see it, first of all, he's a 21-year-old guy.
01:27He's a young guy.
01:28They're having a good time at a birthday party.
01:30I don't necessarily take this as he's making light of what he knew.
01:34Well, he didn't do it.
01:35We should make this clear.
01:36His friends.
01:37Right, his friends.
01:38I don't think any, honestly, I don't think anybody's really making light of it.
01:41I think this has become a big moment in pop culture, and it's something that's being talked
01:46about right now.
01:47It's on the forefront of a lot of people's minds, and I think you can make a joke like
01:51this.
01:52I think if you're making a joke specifically at the expense of the alleged victims, that's
01:57a different story.
01:58Now that we know that the DJ is the one who set the wheels in motion here, do you think
02:06I think Landon's friends just felt like they had to go along with it because the bottles
02:12come out and everyone's laughing, and so they want to go along with it.
02:16I got to say, kudos to Landon for maybe in the moment realizing this isn't going to play
02:23right when it gets on social media and not participating, if that's what he was thinking,
02:29which shows a lot of maturity for a 21-year-old, I think.
02:33Charles, even Diddy's attorney, and I know he got a lot of blowback, but even he made
02:39jokes about this.
02:40It's always like people will make these jokes to their friends and say these things, but
02:44then when we get in front of people or when I get on the camera here, I got to act all
02:48buttoned up and I would never make a joke like that.
02:50The reality is people make jokes about off-color things sometimes.
02:54To that point, comedians have made those jokes already?
02:59Instantly.
03:00I also think that there's a past that stand-up comedians get that that's what they're supposed
03:06to do, that maybe it doesn't cut as well when you're in a club and then suddenly ... I wonder,
03:12look, all the people who are saying this stuff online, I hear their reactions.
03:16I'm wondering what people in the club last night were thinking.
03:19From the video, it doesn't seem like there's anyone ...
03:22It's probably mixed.
03:23There were some people who just thought it's simply funny.
03:25There were some people who thought, oh God, I got to play part.
03:28Landon is the only one that I see there who is clearly not buying in.
03:33I'm also curious about ...
03:34I mean, he puts his hands on his chest like, don't try to even hand me this.
03:38I'm curious what the bottle service, the employees, the women who normally bring out champagne
03:44bottles, what they were thinking when they were handed this like, okay, we're going to
03:49call it like it.
03:50It sounds like it was orchestrated by the club itself.
03:54Well, by the club because this whole thing, they had to get the baby oil.
03:58They had to have people bring it out and whatnot.
04:00It sounds like this was orchestrated by the club, but we know we've done some digging on this.
04:05It was not ... You sound like me now.
04:08I don't know.
04:09I like cake.
04:10I like cake too.
04:11I like cake as much as the next guy, let me tell you.
04:13Hi, I'm Lindsay from Tucson, Arizona.
04:16I myself have a 20-year-old child and my heart is with the alleged victims.
04:21I think if we are having fun, especially given the proximity and the severity of what
04:26we've learned about these parties, if it includes something that could be potentially harmful
04:31to the alleged victims, I think especially in Hollywood, we should be using a little
04:35bit of discretion and it's important time to discuss with our children.
04:39I got to say, I think one of the reasons this thing, people are talking about it so much
04:47is number one, the volume, a thousand bottles.
04:49Right.
04:50And number two, the whole thing is just weird because, not to get too graphic, but the baby
04:57oil was supposedly a lubricant, but it's not supposed to be used as that.
05:01I think there's just been such a swirl around that issue.
05:04Plus it's just a curiosity.
05:05Right.
05:06I think that's why so many people have just kind of glommed on to this thing.
05:09By the way, don't think for a second.
05:11I think the U.S. Attorney's Office knew what they were doing when they had the news conference.
05:15They mentioned it.
05:16And they also wrote it into the indictment saying 1,000 bottles of vape.
05:21They knew that that was going to get headlines and that people were going to talk about it.
05:25They wanted to get that out.
05:26Right.
