Ashton Kutcher has a well-known friendship with hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. The actor and the artist initially met when Kutcher nearly put Combs on the MTV spoof reality TV series, Punk’d. Unfortunately, Kutcher might be guilty by association after Combs’ arrest in September 2024. Here’s what a source said regarding him and Mila Kunis possibly moving out of Hollywood.

Ashton Kutcher views Hollywood as a ‘cesspool’ after Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs drama, a source says

Ashton Kutcher and Sean “Diddy” Combs spoke highly of each other in the past. Combs once referred to himself, Kutcher, and Jamie Foxx as a “rat pack,” as they’d frequently party together. Kutcher also co-hosted one of Combs’ infamous White Parties — annual celebrations where A-listers gathered and wore white.

Kutcher hasn’t spoken out regarding the allegations against Combs after Combs’ arrest. However, he’s allegedly aware that the spotlight has now turned on him. A source told In Touch Weekly that Ashton feels “exasperated” by his association with Combs.

“Ashton’s so exasperated that once again he’s being dragged through the mud because of his past associations,” an insider alleged. “First, it was Danny Masterson, and now it’s Diddy, and it’s got him convinced that there are way better places out there to live than Hollywood. In his view, the town is just a cesspool at this point.”

Kutcher and his wife, Mila Kunis, spent their summer in Europe. They might look to make a permanent move to the continent. “They had such a great time in Europe, and in many ways, the idea of moving there is topping their list right now because they figure that would be such a great place to live and raise their kids with a much more grounded lifestyle,” the source added. However, the move isn’t a done deal. Kunis and Kutcher “still have a lot of business interests in the U.S.”

The couple might also choose to move to Northern California. “Northern California is very appealing to Ashton because he loves to be around all the tech entrepreneurs and it’s somewhere they could give their kids a more normal life,” the source continued.

Ashton Kutcher doesn’t want to get dragged into Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawsuit. A source told In Touch Weekly that his association with the hip-hop mogul is hurting his career.

“The spotlight has turned on him for reveling in his relationships with a couple of Hollywood’s most notorious stars,” the source claimed. “He’s going to have a tough time salvaging his career after this Diddy mess!”

The source added that if Kutcher “saw” or “participated” in Combs’ “freak-offs” — sex parties where participants were drugged, coerced, and filmed — “it would sound the death knell of his career, which has already hit a lull after his defense of Danny [Masterson]. The word is he’s terrified he’ll show up on Diddy’s videotapes!”

Mila Kunis supports her kids learning about farming and sustainability away from Hollywood

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher didn’t seem to be fans of the glitz and glam of Hollywood even before the Sean “Diddy” Combs case. Kunis talked about how she and Kutcher chose to live on a sustainable modern farmhouse in Beverly Hills in 2022. The off-the-grid home mostly runs on solar power and well water.

“My husband’s from the Midwest, and a lot of this has to do with his upbringing,” Kunis told C Magazine. “He’s like, we’re building a farm and we’re all going to work on the farm. I’m from L.A., and I was like, we are? This has been a big learning curve for all of us. My parents make fun of me that it probably costs more to grow a tomato here than to get one at the store. But I say, at least my kids will understand the value of a tomato and how much work goes into growing it.”
