Here’s where Ashton Kutcher was just spotted and appeared worried as speculation mounts over his decades-long friendship with Diddy.
Many Hollywood celebrities once close with Sean “Diddy” Combs have been keeping a low profile and distancing themselves from the music mogul. But one person who is having a hard time completely separating himself is Ashton Kutcher. That’s because the actor had such a public friendship with Diddy over the years so now many are questioning what Kutcher knew about and saw going on behind closed doors.
The buzz about that reportedly has Kutcher worried over the potential impact it will have on him. Here’s more on that and where the former Punk’d host was spotted.
Kutcher is ‘concerned’ about what could come out and being dragged into the Diddy mess
Diddy and Kutcher became friends and formed their bromance two decades ago. Their relationship goes back to when they both worked on MTV shows — Kutcher hosted Punk’d and Combs starred in Making the Band.
Given how close they were, there’s been a microscope on Kutcher amid rumors and speculation about his knowledge of alleged illegal activities that took place during the Bad Boy founder’s “freak-off” parties.
In November 2024, Kutcher was spotted while out for a hike with a friend. He wore a grey sweater, jeans, a baseball cap, and sunglasses. According to the Hindustan Times, the No Strings Attached star ignored the cameras while he engaged in a conversation with his companion but looked very “concerned.”
An insider told InTouch Weekly that Kutcher has been “seriously concerned about getting dragged into this ugly mess. People are outraged and they want answers.”
Another source believes that because of their close relationship, “Ashton could very well be hauled in to testify against Diddy.”
Kutcher previously admitted that he knew what went on at Diddy’s parties
Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. So far no other celebrities have been named in the cases against the disgraced rapper, but Kutcher’s name continues to pop up because of what he previously admitted.
During a 2019 appearance on Hot Ones, Kutcher revealed that he had knowledge of those infamous Diddy parties and what went on there saying: “I’ve got a lot I can’t tell. Can’t tell that one either … I’m actually cycling through them. Diddy party stories, man, that was some weird memory lane thing.”
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents 120 individuals in lawsuits against Combs, has warned Hollywood’s elite, “If you attended one of these ‘parties’ … and you were there in the room, or you participated, or you watched it happen and didn’t say anything, or you helped cover it up, in my view, you have a problem.”
Diddy continues to deny all the charges against him. His trial is set for May 2025.
