Ashton Kutcher’s longtime friendship with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has come under scrutiny amid the music mogul’s ongoing legal woes.
The actor appeared in a Hot Ones segment in 2019, during which he was asked to shed light on Diddy’s infamous parties.
‘I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,’ Kutcher laughed, with a knowing smirk spread across his face.
Kutcher spent a split second considering his words, before adding: ‘Can’t tell that one either… I’m cycling through them.’
Combs, 54, was placed on suicide watch, which is ‘standard for high-profile individuals,’ as he remains jailed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center sources told.
He was arrested and indicted earlier this week in Manhattan for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs allegedly held ‘Freak Off’ sessions in which he coerced women to have sex with male prostitutes while he masturbated.
Authorities allege he often recorded the sessions, luring women in by pretending to start a romantic relationship with them.
They allegedly lasted for days on end, and police claim Combs provided drugs to ‘keep the victims obedient.’
Diddy was known to throw elaborate parties often attended by his elite Hollywood friends.
It is unclear which parties in particular Kutcher attended, but he described them as ‘weird’ in the Hot Ones segment.
‘Diddy party stories… weird man,’ he said.
The footage resurfaced this week, prompting a wave of scrutiny and criticism demanding Kutcher speak up.
‘He’s probably not laughing now,’ one user on social media wrote in response to the clip.
‘Please tell, Ashton,’ another replied.
Others questioned whether Kutcher – or other celebrities who have publicly said they’ve attended Diddy’s parties – would be subpoenaed or asked to take the stand in a future trial.
Kutcher went on to say that his long friendship with Diddy started back in 2003 during his time hosting the MTV show Punk’d.
‘We just became fast friends, and we used to just hang out and watch football together,’ Kutcher said.
‘He just can’t lose.’
