Leonardo DiCaprio’s team is working over time to distance him from Diddy.
As unending claims continue to flood in amid Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering arrest, attention is beginning to turn toward who’s potentially been involved in the embattled rapper’s freak offs. From politicians, to some of your favorite celebs, the growing list of those who attended Diddy’s huge parties is certainly concerning. But who stayed for the illegal activity federal prosecutors are alleging? Who participated?

This week, we shared photos of Diddy’s 1999 White Party. In the new context some of the wilder moments looked like exactly what the feds are accusing him of. And among many other celebs, Leo was featured front and center with Combs. See for yourself (below):
But in light of the pictures shown above, sources close to Leo are trying their best to separate the Wolf of Wall Street star from the I’ll Be Missing You rapper.
On Monday, an insider told DailyMail.com that Leo has “not been in contact” with Diddy for years. They assured the outlet:
“Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with any of this. 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.”
They weren’t “Freak Offs” yet… But like we said, things were pretty crazy even then… In the same way as in the indictment. So if those weren’t “Freak Offs” they were at the very least dry runs…
The source went on to write off the Titanic star’s presence at Diddy’s parties decades ago as a bit of party fever inspired by youth, but that he’s now grown past it all:
“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.”
The insider concluded:
“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.”
Hmmm, that might make sense, except… Leo was spotted partying it up with Diddy just five years ago at the disgraced rapper’s 50th birthday party! See (below):
That’s a full grown, adult Leo in 2019. Word is they’ve hung out many times over the years. From early on, Leo was apparently considered to be the “number one person” on Diddy’s party invite list, according to DM.
We’re not saying Leo was necessarily wrapped up in Diddy’s alleged illegal behavior, that he partook of sex trafficked women… but it’s undeniable that the pair have maintained a some sort of relationship, despite what the source says.
