Old photos of Ashton Kutcher and Sean “Diddy” Combs resurfaced on social media this week, showing the actor and rapper partying together. Diddy, 54, who was arrested on September 16th and faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting for prostitution, has pleaded not guilty but has been denied bail twice, as reported by People.
Meanwhile, online rumors have been circulating about a potential divorce between the Butterfly Effect actor, 46, and his wife, Mila Kunis. According to sources who just sat down with the outlet, the couple has now addressed these rumors, strongly denying them and appearing to distance themselves from the scandal involving Diddy.
Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis Are 'Not' Getting Divorced, Sources Say
As one tipster dished to the mag: "This is absolutely ridiculous and false." They were referencing the social media rumors suggesting that the No Strings Attached star and Black Swan actress, 41, are splitting due to revived gossip about Kutcher's former association with Diddy. Another source noted: "Ashton has no involvement in any of this. He doesn't belong in this conversation about Diddy. Ashton has only seen Diddy in a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media."
Kutcher and Kunis famously met while co-starring on That '70s Show together (from 1998 to 2006), but didn't begin their romantic relationship until 2012. The Your Place or Mine alum and Friends with Benefits star got married in July 2015 and share two children together: Wyatt, 9, and Dimitri, 7.
Ashton Kutcher Recalls Diddy's Wild Parties On 'Hot Ones'
Kutcher notably declined to delve into the specifics of Diddy's infamous parties during a resurfaced interview that gained attention following Diddy's recent arrest. The subject of the disgraced Grammy winner's notorious gatherings was broached during Kutcher's appearance on the popular show "Hot Ones" in September 2019.
"I’ve got a lot I can’t tell," Kutcher said to host Sean Evans in the clip. He continued: "So, uh, can’t tell that one, either." The Just Married star went on, while laughing: "I’m actually cycling through them. … Diddy party stories, man — that was some weird memory lane thing."
In 2009, Kutcher and Combs co-hosted the record producer's annual white party to support Malaria No More, as reported by Page Six. Despite various celebs attending Combs' parties throughout the years, there is no evidence linking Kutcher or any other attendees to any alleged illegal activities, the outlet noted.
While the Two and a Half Men actor avoided discussing Diddy's events in detail, he was eager to describe their "bizarre" relationship. As for Diddy, he is apparently planning to take the stand and testify in his own defense against the racketeering and sex crimes charges. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, admits that this strategy carries a huge risk but believes that "there's no one better to defend Diddy than Diddy himself." As per TMZ, Agnifilo revealed that the "I'll Be Missing You" artist would personally address the court in his criminal trial.
This high-profile case, which has attracted considerable media attention, is a critical juncture for the "Bump, Bump, Bump" hitmaker, who is accused of sex trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution.
