Ashton Kutcher has expressed concern over the way his relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs might impact his life.

He once described how the two of them bonded.
Ashton Kutcher and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs became close friends
Kutcher and Combs met while Kutcher was hosting Punk’d. Combs called Kutcher when he heard he planned to prank him and warned him not to. They became friends after this.
“We became fast friends,” Kutcher said on Hot Ones, per The Cut. “We used to just hang out and watch football.”
He said they went on runs together and went clubbing.
“We were spending a lot of time together,” Kutcher said. “By the way, if you’re a single man, there’s probably no greater human being in the world than him. We were having a lot of fun together.”
Ashton Kutcher reportedly regrets his friendship with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
In the months since Combs was arrested on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, Kutcher has tried to distance himself from the friendship.
“Ashton absolutely regrets his friendship with Diddy considering what has happened,” a source told the Daily Mail. “He feels lied to, betrayed, taken for granted, and manipulated.”
He recently landed in hot water over his support of his That ‘70s Show co-star, Danny Masterson. Masterson was convicted of raping two women.
“He feels the same way about Danny Masterson,” the source said, adding, “He now trusts no one except for his wife Mila [Kunis]. He is going to keep his circle to his family.”
Kutcher also is reportedly worried that Combs could make allegations against him. He said he worries that Combs could accuse him of wrongdoing in order to protect himself.
“Diddy could say anything, do anything or turn on anyone at this point,” the source said. “Everyone who is close to Diddy fears the possibility of Diddy making up false allegations to clear his own name.”

While Kutcher spoke openly about their friendship before Combs’ arrest, a source recently said they were not close friends. They claimed that the two celebrities only spent time together during a handful of public events.
“Ashton has no involvement in any of this,” a source close to Kutcher told People. “He doesn’t belong in this conversation about Diddy. Ashton has only seen Diddy in a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media.”
