The intensifying sex-trafficking probe into Sean “Diddy” Combs has brought attention to his friendship with Ashton Kutcher. The duo has known each other for decades, co-hosted shows on MTV, and have spoken highly of each other. They have shared stories of how they met and became friends on various platforms. Kutcher has not publicly commented on the investigation into Combs since the feds raided his homes last week, and a source claimed that Kutcher and his wife, Mila Kunis, would not be showing any public support for Combs due to recent legal troubles.
Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex-trafficking investigation. Authorities seized phones and computers during the raids. A music producer, Brendan Paul, was also arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport while attempting to board Combs’ private jet. Multiple Jane Does and a John Doe have been interviewed by New York prosecutors regarding the sex-trafficking allegations. Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie, filed a lawsuit against him in 2023 alleging rape and physical abuse. Combs settled the lawsuit one day after it was filed.
Kutcher and Kunis faced backlash after publicly supporting convicted rapist Danny Masterson ahead of his sentencing hearing. Kutcher wrote a letter in support of Masterson, which was criticized, leading Kutcher to admit it was an “error in judgment.” Federal authorities searched Combs’ properties as part of the sex-trafficking investigation. Several explosive allegations have been made against Combs, including claims of sexual assaults recorded on hidden cameras at his homes. Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie, also accused him of rape, leading to a settlement.
Diddy’s lawyers have argued that the searches were an overuse of force and that Combs denies all wrongdoing. No criminal or civil liability has been established regarding the allegations against Combs. Another woman also accused Combs of raping her when she was 17 years old. Despite the accusations, Combs maintains his innocence and is committed to fighting to clear his name. The ongoing investigation and legal troubles have put a strain on Combs’ relationships, including his friendship with Kutcher and their public support. Kutcher has refrained from commenting on the situation.
