Leonardo DiCaprio has addressed the resurfacing of old photos showing him at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ legendary “white parties.” These events, known for their extravagance and celebrity attendance, have recently come under the spotlight due to serious allegations against Combs.
DiCaprio, who usually keeps his personal life private, felt the need to clarify his involvement. “They were not freak offs,” DiCaprio stated emphatically. This comment comes amidst allegations that Combs’ parties involved elaborate and produced sex performances, often referred to as “freak offs.”
The actor’s connection to Combs dates back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, a time when DiCaprio was frequently seen at high-profile events. Photos from 1998 show DiCaprio laughing and smoking at one of Combs’ parties in East Hampton. Despite these images, a source close to DiCaprio insists that he has “not been in contact” with Combs for years.
The source further clarified that DiCaprio’s attendance at these parties was purely social. “Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with any of this,” the insider stressed. They added that the actor was part of a few of Combs’ parties in the early 2000s, just like many other celebrities. “They were big house parties when Leo was at the start of his career at the time,” the source said.
Despite the resurfaced photos and the ongoing legal case, DiCaprio remains focused on his career and personal life. The source close to him reiterated that he has “nothing to do with any of that world” and is not concerned about being implicated in Combs’ legal issues. “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 insider said.
DiCaprio’s distancing from Combs is not just a recent development. The actor has been noticeably absent from Combs’ events for years. The last notable public appearance of the two together was at the Democratic National Convention in 2004.
