Ashton Kutcher has been the subject of criticism on social media after a previously aired interview resurfaced online. The interview, from 2019, featured Kutcher discussing his friendship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who has been recently arrested on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The 54-year-old music mogul was arrested earlier this week in New York and has since been remanded to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has been denied bail twice.
In light of these shocking allegations, a clip from Kutcher's Hot Ones interview has been circulating online, where he talks about his close relationship with Combs. The host of the show asked Kutcher for an anecdote from Combs' party days, to which he replied that he had many stories, but couldn't share them.
The interviewer pressed Kutcher for a party story, to which he responded with a laugh, "I've got a lot I can't tell. Can't tell that one either... I'm actually cycling through them. Diddy party stories... man, that was some weird memory lane thing."
Kutcher continued to explain their "bizarre" relationship, which began when Combs challenged him on his show Punk'd. They became fast friends and would often hang out and watch football together.
Their friendship has spanned over two decades, and they have appeared together on various talk shows, including The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2018, where Combs described them as "the new rat pack."
However, with the recent allegations against Combs, many have criticized Kutcher for joking about the infamous parties. In the comments section of the Hot Ones video, one user wrote, "I'm worried about how Ashton said there's things he can't talk about when partying with Diddy with the recent news that came out about things that went on at Diddy parties."
Others on Twitter also expressed their disappointment in Kutcher's comments, stating that it has "aged poorly" in light of the allegations.
Combs has been charged with three counts, including racketeering conspiracy, transportation to engage in prostitution, and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. The federal indictment alleges that he engaged in a pattern of abuse towards women and coerced multiple victims into sex acts.
Combs has denied all allegations and his lawyer has stated that he will fight to prove his innocence. If found guilty, he could face a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison. The Agency has reached out to Kutcher's representatives for a comment on the resurfaced interview.
