Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the rare famous faces from Hollywood who has always managed to steer away from any controversy. His name has never been dragged in any controversy but that could soon change as cases against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs pile up. Sean, who has been arrested on multiple counts of alleged forced sex, freak-offs and rape (in a new lawsuit), was reportedly close to Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio at one point of time.

In pictures that have resurfaced on the internet, Leo seems to be happily smoking and enjoying a drink or two with Sean in his parties from the late 90s and early 2000s. Sean was infamous for “white parties” and would host a bevvy of Hollywood stars at his houses spread across the US. 

Was Leonardo DiCaprio close to Sean Diddy Combs?

In one of the photos that are now circulating, Leo can be seen laughing and smoking at Sean’s party at his East Hampton house in 1998. Netizens wonder if that party too featured freak-offs, where Sean and his bodyguard along with others would allegedly drug, rape and film women and then use those electronically recorded sexual acts as blackmail to continue indulging in those acts.

Daily Mail reports that a close insider however insists that Leonardo hasn’t spoken to Diddy “for years”. The report claims that Leonardo never attended “freak offs.” The source added that the actor has “not been in contact” with the disgraced rapper for years. 

“Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with any of this,” the source stressed, admitting that he was part of a few Diddy's parties in the early 2000s just like other celebrities. Those parties were “not freak-offs.”
