Leonardo DiCaprio Distances Himself from Diddy Amid Legal Troubles


Leonardo DiCaprio is being defended by a source close to him after old photos of the actor with Sean "Diddy" Combs resurfaced following Diddy's recent arrest on serious charges. The rapper was taken into custody on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and trafficking for prostitution. His bail has been denied twice, and he remains in jail awaiting trial.

The Daily Mail published photos from 1998 showing DiCaprio at one of Diddy's famous White Parties in East Hampton. In response, a source close to the 49-year-old actor clarified that DiCaprio has had no connection to Diddy for years and never attended any of his controversial "freak-off" parties. According to the insider, Leo was simply a guest at a few of Diddy’s events, which included other celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, and Mariah Carey. The source emphasized that it's "ridiculous" to assume DiCaprio has any ties to Diddy's current legal troubles based on decades-old photos.

The actor, who last interacted with Diddy at the rapper’s 50th birthday party in 2019, is reportedly focused on his career and has nothing to do with the case. Meanwhile, Diddy, who has pleaded not guilty, is accused of forcing women into disturbing sex performances and using drugs to control them. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 9.
