Mila Kunis looked to be in a celebratory mood last week when she posed for photos with Michael Keaton at the premiere of their hotly anticipated new film, “Goodrich.”
But Kunis was apparently able to attend the premiere of the family drama, which opens Friday, without having field uncomfortable questions from reporters about her husband, Ashton Kutcher, and his longtime friendship with embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Since Combs’ arrest last month on federal sex trafficking charges, Kutcher has been among the stars who may or may not be worried about new, unsavory details coming out in criminal filings or civil lawsuits about the rapper’s infamous parties. Federal prosecutors and alleged victims have alleged that some of Combs’ gatherings involved women, men, and even minors being forced to perform sexual acts during multi-day “freak off” parties for his pleasure.
After the music mogul’s Sept. 16 arrest in New York City, old photos emerged showing a young Kutcher with Combs, including him co-hosting the record producer’s annual White Party in 2009, the New York Post said.

Combs and Kutcher’s friendship reportedly goes back to the early 2000s, while a resurfaced clip from Kutcher’s 2019 appearance on “Hot Ones” has faced particular scrutiny, the New York Post said.
In the clip from the YouTube talk show, Kutcher’s friendship with Combs becomes a conversation topic. “I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,” Kutcher said, clearly unwilling to discuss the rapper’s parties on the show. “So, uh,” he said before pausing.
“Can’t tell that one, either,” Kutcher laughed. “I’m actually cycling through them. … Diddy party stories, man — that was some weird memory lane thing.”
But if Kutcher co-hosted Combs’ 2009 White Party, the New York Post said it’s important to note that there is no indication that he or other stars who attended any of the White Parties, including Kutcher’s first wife, Demi Moore, were involved in illegal activity. It’s also important to distinguish between Combs’ lavish White Parties and the “freak off” parties, which allegedly were drug- and alcohol-fueled sex orgies.
Unfortunately for Kunis, she has been dragged into reports about her husband’s friendship with Combs, with sources close to the …read more
