Reports suggest that Ashton Kutcher “has fears” about Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, worrying that his former close friend wouldn’t hesitate to “lie to authorities” to escape jail time.
Currently, P Diddy is detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The rapper has refuted all accusations levelled against him.
As Diddy anticipates his trial, a source alleges that Ashton is regretting their close friendship. The star of That ’70s Show was pals with Diddy for a good twenty years and even made appearances at some of the 54-year-old’s notorious White Parties.

“[Ashton] feels lied to, betrayed, taken for granted and manipulated,” a source has claimed. They also said he fears “how this investigation will play out.”
In a chat with The Daily Mail, the source alleged: “He feels Diddy would have no problem lying to authorities and tossing out some of his famous friend’s names if it meant it could get him out of jail.”
They suggested the disgraced rapper could “say anything, do anything or turn on anyone”. They also hinted that Ashton will cooperate with authorities if he is contacted about the case.
The Mirror US has approached Ashton’s representative for comment.
The former Two and a Half Men luminary, Ashton Kutcher, has found himself ensnared in scandal after rap mogul Diddy’s arrest spurred a frenzy following a 2019 interview on popular YouTube show Hot Ones that resurfaced.
In the episode featuring Ashton, the star caused quite a stir by dodging details about the shamed movie titan’s notorious bashes.
When quizzed for a juicy tale from one of Diddy’s shindigs, Ashton managed: “Wow. Okay, I’ve got a lot I can’t tell.” A noticeable hesitation later, he added with a chuckle: “I can’t tell that one either.”
Ashton’s evasion led fans to wildly surmise his role at these events, especially as Diddy’s “Freak Off” parties shot up to scandal-sheet fame post-arrest.

Diddy finds himself up against allegations of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking through force, fraud or coercion, and transporting individuals for prostitution, all of which he disputes. He’s currently contesting a court decree which confines him to the clinker pending his trial.
Diddy’s attorneys submitted a notice on Monday intending to overturn a federal court’s snub of Diddy’s bail requests not once, but twice.
An insider privy to Diddy whispered to The Mirror US about the latest legal move: “A notice of appeal was filed in the second circuit regarding Mr. Combs’ detention.”
“This is a standard notice to the court and the actual appeal brief will be filed soon,” they remarked. The insider also mentioned that Diddy is assembling a “dream team” of lawyers for his upcoming criminal trial.
The insider added: “Sean Combs is building his dream legal defense team, adding Anthony Ricco and Alexandra Shapiro to the trial team. Tony is one of the finest trial lawyers in the country. Alexandra is hands-down the best appellate lawyer practicing today.”
