Leonardo DiCaprio is making it clear that he has “nothing to do” with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ controversial “freak off” parties, amidst the ongoing scandals surrounding the rapper.

Over the past year, Combs has shifted from being a prominent figure in the music industry to facing serious allegations, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

The charges against him have intensified following lawsuits filed by his former partner, Casandra Ventura, who accused him of sexual assault and claimed that he hosted “freak off” parties—sexual performances involving multiple individuals.

These parties reportedly followed Combs’ renowned “White Parties,” which drew numerous high-profile celebrities, including DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, and Mariah Carey.

Recently, a collection of photographs from these White Parties surfaced online, showcasing the star-studded guest list. One particular image from the early 2000s features a young DiCaprio, then 25, seated next to Combs, enjoying drinks and smoking.

Despite the seemingly close friendship depicted in the photos, DiCaprio is distancing himself from Combs amid the resurfacing controversies. A source close to the Oscar-winning actor stated emphatically that DiCaprio has had no connection to the “freak off” events and has not spoken to Combs in years.

“Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with any of this,” the source told Daily Mail. “He was a part of a few of Diddy’s parties in the early 2000s, but those were not freak-offs. He has nothing to do with any of that world, so for anyone to assume that he will get roped into this based on a few grainy photos that are more than 20 years old is ridiculous.”

The source further noted that DiCaprio is focused on his career and personal life, not engaging in any drama related to the rapper’s ongoing legal troubles. Aside from the recently circulated photographs, DiCaprio and Combs were last publicly seen together at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and at Combs’ 50th birthday celebration in 2019.

However, there has been no evidence to suggest that DiCaprio or any other celebrities involved in these events participated in the alleged illegal activities.

Last week, Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. Prosecutors have claimed that he has “abused, threatened, and coerced” women to satisfy his sexual desires for decades. If convicted, Combs faces a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison, according to Page Six. As the case unfolds, DiCaprio's attempt to clarify his involvement highlights the complexities of celebrity associations amidst serious allegations.
