After an image of Leonardo DiCaprio at one of the music mogul’s infamous “white parties” surfaced, the actor has distanced himself from Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The 49-year-old Hollywood actor hasn’t been in contact with Diddy “for years,” according to a person close to him.
The 54-year-old Combs was detained last week and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and trafficking in order to participate in prostitution in the Southern District of New York.
The rapper faces accusations that he coerces women into ‘freak offs’—’elaborate and orchestrated sex performances’.
It is said that searches of his homes turned up thousands of bottles of baby oil. Prosecutors also claim that the long sex sessions the women in the freak offs had left them so exhausted that they need IV drips.
Resurfaced photos of DiCaprio laughing and smoking at one of Combs’ infamous “White Parties” at his East Hampton house in 1998 were published by Dailymail.com.
On July 29, 2004, Combs and Leo were photographed at the Democratic National Convention.
“Leo is not thinking at all about Diddy’s federal case, which he has nothing to do with; he is focused on his career and his relationship.”
DiCaprio has been contacted by DailyMail.com for an official statement.
A-list celebrities would throng to the waterfront property in the summer for Combs White Parties, which were hosted at his East Hampton mansion and featured some of the biggest names in American celebrity culture.

Combs revealed in a 2018 interview with Vogue that Titanic actor Leo was his favorite party guest (Pictured at a July 4th White Party in 1998)
He once declared the Titanic star as the ‘number one person’ on his invitation list for his notorious bashes
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.
According to a person close to Leo, he has ‘not been in contact’ with Combs for years and is unrelated to the issue, DailyMail.com was told.
Combs’ $50 million bail request was denied by the judge, and he is currently being held in jail while facing federal sex offense allegations.
The disgraced musician entered a not-guilty plea in a Manhattan court on September 17, after being charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution after his shocking arrest at the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City.
Based on a federal indictment, Combs is accused of orchestrating and recording coercive sex activities known as “freak offs.”
Although there is nothing in the indictment that suggests the parties were hosted in the Hamptons, word quickly spread that his ‘freak off’ parties had taken place there decades previously.
There’s no indication that Leo or any other celebrities present at Combs’ events were aware of any drug use or orgies.
