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 picture of him at one of the music mogul’s notorious ‘white parties’ emerged.

A source close to the Hollywood actor, 49, said he hadn’t had anything to do with Diddy ‘for years.’ 

Combs, 54, was arrested last week and indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and trafficking to engage prostitution.

The rapper is accused of forcing women into ‘elaborate and produced sex performances’, described as ‘freak offs’.

A thousand bottles of baby oil were discovered during searches of his properties, it is claimed. And prosecutors allege women who participated in the freak offs were so worn out by the marathon sex sessions they needed IV drips after.

Dailymail.com published re-emerged pictures showing DiCaprio laughing and smoking at one of Combs’ notorious ‘White Parties’ in 1998 at his East Hampton home.

Combs once declared the Titanic star as the ‘number one person’ on his White Party invitation list.

Other stars to have been hosted by Diddy include Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and Mariah Carey.

However, a source close to the A-Lister says Leo has ‘not been in contact’ with Combs for years, saying he never attended ‘freak offs’, and has nothing to do with the case.

The pair were pictured together in public was at the Democratic National Convention on July 29, 2004.

The Great Gatsby actor was also seen dancing beside Combs at his 50th birthday in 2019.

‘Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with any of this,’ the source said.

‘He attended a few of his parties back in the early 2000s – but literally everyone did.

‘They were not freak offs.

‘They were big house parties. Leo was at the start of his career at the time and has moved way past his partying.

‘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.

Leo is focused on his career and his relationship and is not at all thinking about Diddy’s federal case, which he has nothing to do with.’

Combs White Parties were held at his East Hampton home, where some of the biggest celebrities in America would where swarms of A-list celebrities would flock to the waterfront house in the summer for the annual bash.

One photo from the 2000 White Party shows a young Leo clad in a white t-shirt and shorts besides Combs, who is holding a bottle of champagne.

In resurfaced footage from Combs’ 73 Questions appearance with Vogue in 2018, the rapper was asked the number one person on his White Party invitation list.

Without hesitation, Combs turned to face the reporter and said: ‘Leonardo DiCaprio,’ before handing the interviewer a drink.

Speaking to the New York Post, one drug-dealer revealed the shocking incidents he witnessed taking place within the luxury home – including household-name celebrities having sex with each other.

The anonymous source said Combs opened the door to him while wearing nothing but a white robe before leading him through to a back bedroom to make a cocaine deal.

‘You’d see two people you would not think would be hooking up, rappers, that was what shocked me,’ the dealer told the news outlet.

‘I won’t say names but there were rappers that I immediately lost respect for and could not take seriously ever again.’

The dealer added that many of the high-status attendees, which also included a mix of female stars, were high on ketamine and GHB.

‘That was when I got the f*** out of there,’ he said.

Combs is now facing federal sex crime charges and is being held in jail after a judge denied his $50million bail request.

The disgraced musician was sensationally arrested at Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City and has since been charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution – all of which he pleaded not guilty to in a Manhattan court on September 17.

The charges are tied to ‘freak offs’ – coerced sex acts that Combs allegedly orchestrated and recorded, according to a federal indictment.

Though there is nothing in the indictment that points to the Hamptons parties, it wasn’t long before rumors swirled about his alleged ‘freak off’ parties having been held in the Hamptons decades ago.

There is no suggestion Leo or any other celebs at Combs’ parties knew about alleged drug taking or orgies.
