Ashton Kutcher's Decades-Old Friendship With Sean Diddy Combs Under Scrutiny

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s high-profile arrest has recently become the talk of the town, following charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering, fraud, coercion and more. While the arrest has unveiled disturbing details of his “freak off” parties, it has also placed increased scrutiny on his circle of friends. Following the likes of Usher and Kevin Hart, Ashton Kutcher is now being drawn into the scandal. Known for being a long-time friend of the rapper, an old interview clip of Kutcher has resurfaced, in which he can be seen dodging questions about attending Diddy’s notorious parties.

Amid the speculation, a source close to Kutcher told People, “Ashton has only seen Diddy at a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media.”

While celebrities have subtly clarified their stance on social media, the That ’70s Show alum is yet to comment on the ongoing legal drama. It is worth noting that Ashton Kutcher’s friendship with Diddy Combs dates back to the early 2000s. He even attended one of his friend’s signature events, Diddy’s White Party, in 2009. Diddy and Kutcher appeared on The Late Show with James Corden in 2018, where the actor said, “We were spending a lot of time together. By the way, if you’re a single man, there’s probably no greater human being in the world than him. We were having a lot of fun together.”

In addition to discussing their friendship at length, they also recalled the time of their first meeting.

During his appearance on Hot Ones in 2019, Ashton Kutcher was asked if he had any wild stories from the parties. “I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,” he said before keeping it safe as he continued, “Diddy party stories, man… that was some weird memory lane thing.”

Following the arrest, while some of Hollywood’s elite are garnering unwanted attention, experts suggest that remaining silent is the best option. “In high-profile situations like this, an informational vacuum creates an opportunity for that void to be filled with misinformation, driven by inaccurate assumptions, often based on speculation and lack of concrete evidence. Silence is sometimes the best option, especially in our current ‘fire hose’ media environment,” said Doug Eldridge (founder of Achilles PR) to Fox News Digital.
