Leonardo DiCaprio breaks silence on hanging out with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as picture emerges of him at notorious ‘White Party’
Leonardo DiCaprio has distanced himself from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after a photo surfaced of him at one of the music mogul’s infamous ‘white parties’.
A source close to the 49-year-old Hollywood actor said he has not been involved with Diddy for “years.”
Combs, 54, was arrested last week and charged in the Southern District of New York on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and trafficking for the purpose of prostitution.
Combs is accused of forcing women into “elaborate and staged sexual acts,” which he describes as “freak-offs.”
Ny Breaking.com published resurfaced photos showing DiCaprio smiling and smoking during one of Combs’ infamous 1998 “White Parties” at his East Hampton home.

Combs once called the Titanic star “number one” on his White Party invite list.
Other stars who have been presented by Diddy include Kim Kardashian, Paris HiltonAnd Mariah Carey.
However, a source close to the A-lister says Leo has had “no contact” with Combs for years. He has never been to any “freak offs” and has nothing to do with the case, the source said.
The couple was photographed together in public at the Democratic National Convention on July 29, 2004.
The Great Gatsby actor was also spotted dancing alongside Combs at his 50th birthday party in 2019.
“Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with this,” the source said.
‘He went to a few of his parties in the early 2000s, but literally everyone went.
They weren’t freaks.
“They were big house parties. Leo was still at the beginning of his career and is way past partying.”
“He has nothing to do with that world, so it’s ridiculous that anyone would assume he’s going to be involved in this based on a few grainy photos that are over 20 years old.

“Leo is focused on his career and his relationship and is completely oblivious to Diddy’s federal case, which has nothing to do with him.”
DailyMail.com has contacted DiCaprio for an official comment.
Combs White Parties were held at his East Hampton waterfront home, with some of America’s biggest celebrities flocking to the waterfront home in the summer for the annual bash.
A photo from the 2000 White Party shows a young Leo dressed in a white T-shirt and shorts, standing next to Combs, who is holding a bottle of champagne.

In resurfaced footage of Combs’ 2018 73 Questions appearance on Vogue, the rapper was asked who was number one on his White Party invite list.
Without hesitation, Combs turned to the reporter and said, “Leonardo DiCaprio,” before handing the interviewer a drink.
Speaking to the New York Post, a drug dealer revealed shocking incidents he witnessed at the luxurious home, including famous celebrities having sex with each other.
The anonymous source said Combs opened the door for him wearing nothing but a white robe, then took him into a back bedroom to deal cocaine.
“You saw two people you wouldn’t expect, rappers, that’s what shocked me,” the dealer told the news outlet.
‘I won’t name names, but there were rappers I immediately lost respect for and could never take seriously again.’
The dealer added that many of the high-profile visitors, including a mix of female stars, were high on ketamine and GHB.
A source close to Leo told DailyMail.com that the actor has had “no contact” with Combs for years and that he has nothing to do with the case.
“Then I got out of there as quickly as I could,” he said.
Combs is now charged with a federal sex crime and is in custody after a judge denied his request for $50 million bail.
The disgraced musician was sensationally arrested at the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City and has since been charged with human trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. On September 17, he pleaded not guilty in a Manhattan courtroom.
The charges relate to “freak-offs” — forced sexual acts that Combs allegedly orchestrated and recorded, according to a federal indictment.
Although there is no reference in the indictment to the Hamptons parties, it wasn’t long before rumors began circulating that his alleged “freak off” parties had been held in the Hamptons decades ago.
There is no evidence that Leo or other celebrities at Combs’ parties knew about the alleged drug use or orgies.
