Leonardo DiCaprio has distanced himself from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after photos emerged of him attending one of the music mogul’s infamous ‘White Parties’.
A source close to the Hollywood actor, 49, said Leonardo has had nothing to do with Diddy “for years”.
Diddy, 54, was arrested last week and charged in the Southern District of New York with extortion, sex trafficking and human trafficking for prostitution.
The rapper is accused of forcing women to “perform elaborate and choreographed sexual performances”, which he described as “kinky acts”.
It is claimed that a thousand bottles of baby oil were found during a search of his home.
And prosecutors said the women involved in the sex acts were so exhausted from the long sessions that they required intravenous fluids afterwards.
Meanwhile, Dailymail.com has republished photos of Leonardo Dicaprio laughing and smoking at one of Diddy’s infamous “White Parties” in 1998 at the rapper’s East Hampton home.
Diddy once claimed the Titanic star was “number one” on his “White Party” guest list.
Other celebrities who have been hosted by Diddy include Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Mariah Carey.
However, a source close to the A-list star said Leonardo has “not been in touch” with Diddy for years, saying he never attended the “weird party” and had nothing to do with the case.
The pair were photographed together in public at the Democratic National Convention on July 29, 2004.
The Great Gatsby actor was also seen dancing alongside Diddy on his 50th birthday in 2019.
“Leonardo DiCaprio had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. He attended a few parties in the early 2000s but they were all attended by a lot of people,” the source said.
The source added: “They weren’t hippies. They were big house parties. Leonardo was at the beginning of his career at the time and had moved past his partying phase.
He has nothing to do with any of that world, so for anyone to assume he was involved in this based on a couple of photos that are over 20 years old is ridiculous.”
Diddy’s “white parties” were held at his East Hampton home, where some of America’s most famous people often congregated, with many A-listers flocking to the waterfront home in the summer for the annual bash.
A photo taken at the party in 2000 shows a young Leonardo DiCaprio in a white T-shirt and shorts next to Diddy holding a bottle of champagne.
In footage from Diddy’s 2018 appearance on 73 Questions with Vogue, the rapper was asked who was at the top of the guest list at his “white party.”
Without hesitation, Diddy turned to face the reporter and said, “Leonardo DiCaprio,” before handing the interviewer a drink.
Speaking to the New York Post, a drug dealer revealed the shocking events he witnessed taking place at the luxury home – including celebrities having sex with each other.
The anonymous source said Diddy opened the door for him while wearing only a white robe before leading him into a back bedroom for a cocaine deal.
“I won’t name names but there were rappers I instantly lost respect for and couldn’t respect anymore,” the source said.
The dealer added that many of the high-profile attendees, including several female stars, were high on ketamine and GHB.
Diddy is facing federal sex crime charges and is in custody after a judge rejected his request for $50 million bail.
The scandal-plagued rapper was arrested at the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City and has since been charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution — all charges to which he pleaded not guilty in Manhattan court on Sept. 17.
The charges are related to “insanity” — the forced sexual acts that Diddy allegedly orchestrated and recorded, according to a federal indictment.
There is no suggestion that Leonardo or any other celebrities at Diddy’s parties knew about the alleged drug use or group sex.
