Netizens have been scouring the internet and looking back at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ closest confidantes over the years – including Two and a Half Men actor Ashton Kutcher

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been in the press non-stop since his arrest last September.

So far, the music mogul has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, transportation to engage in prostitution and forced labour under inhumane circumstances. His legal troubles continue to mount as more accusers come forward.

In the run up to his trial this May, netizens have been scouring the internet for evidence of past behaviour they might have overlooked – and the people he kept around him. One of his closest confidantes was Ashton Kutcher, who has made some questionable decisions over the years.
From backing convicted rapist Danny Masterson, to sexualising a 15-year-old Hilary Duff in a Punk’d interview, Kutcher is no stranger to online backlash himself.

Here’s a look inside his years-long friendship with Diddy, as he continues to try to distance himself from the rapper:

Kutcher and Combs’ friendship goes way back. According to OK! Magazine, they instantly hit it off and have been pals since the 2000s. Kutcher talked about their early interactions on a 2019 episode of Hot Ones. “Our relationship is really bizarre,” he said. “It started over Punk’d because he was like, ‘Yo, you can’t punk me!’ I was like, ‘I don’t know what to tell you, everybody is on the table.’ That started our conversation. We became fast friends and we used to just hang out, watch football together.”

Combs confirmed the story in an article he wrote for Time in 2010. “I first met Ashton Kutcher when we were both on MTV,” he explained. “He was doing Punk’d, and I was doing Making the Band.”
