Fans Question Ashton Kutcher's Answer About Attending Diddy's Parties in Throwback Clip
Ashton Kutcher has found himself in hot water with fans over a resurfaced video about Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The throwback clip, taken from Kutcher's appearance on Hot Ones in 2019, features the actor getting asked about attending Diddy's parties—and his response has garnered some concern in light of recent events.
In the clip, Kutcher says, "I've got a lot I can't tell," while chatting about partying with the "Victory" artist.
While laughing and giving a smirk, Kutcher tried coming up with some details he could share, before adding, "Can't tell that one either...I'm cycling through them."
Kutcher, 46, is now receiving backlash for the clip after more details surfaced about Diddy's alleged crimes at these aforementioned parties. The rapper is accused of hosting drug-fueled gatherings known as "freak offs," allegedly involving the coercion of victims to participate in sexual acts, per the BBC.
Following an investigation and a raid conducted by the FBI at his properties in Beverly Hills and Miami back in March, Diddy was arrested in New York City on Monday, Sept. 16, and indicted the following day on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and kidnapping.
Kutcher, who has long been friends with Diddy, is now under fire for the Hot Ones video that clearly hasn't aged well. It didn't help that the Punk'd alum detailed Diddy's parties by saying, "Diddy party stories, man. That was like some weird memory lane."
"The more I hear about Ashton Kutcher the more I dislike him," one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter) after seeing the resurfaced clip.
"Not a good look," another disapproving fan added.
While it wasn't clear which parties Kutcher was referring to, fans didn't take his comments well, especially after Kutcher and his wife, Mila Kunis, were revealed to be among those who wrote letters to a judge in defense of Danny Masterson, a now-convicted rapist.
Masterson, who starred with both Kutcher and Kunis on That '70s Show is now serving 30 years to life in prison for raping two women in 2003.
As a result of public backlash for writing a character letter on Masterson's behalf, Kutcher later stepped down as chairman of the board of Thorn, an anti-child sex abuse organization he founded with his then-wife, Demi Moore, in 2009.
Kutcher and Kunis also issued a public apology via Instagram because of the public backlash.
