Combs has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

In an indictment, it was also alleged that he had engaged in kidnapping, forced labour, bribery and other crimes, and had ostensibly acted as the linchpin of a criminal group that abused women and violently coerced them into participating in "elaborate and produced sex performances" with male prostitutes.

Combs denies all charges stacked against him – but his arrest comes after his Los Angeles home was raided in March, where officers reportedly seized supplies that were intended for one of his infamous, crime-ridden orgies.

He said: "I’ve got a lot I can’t tell [about the parties]. I mean, I’m, actually cycling through them Diddy party stories, man. That was like some weird memory lane."

There is no suggestion that Kutcher, 46, was ever involved in any of the charges made against Combs – or that he even knew what was allegedly taking place.

However, that hasn’t stopped these comments from being received in a slightly more uncomfortable light, as more and more accusations have emerged of those "drug-fueled, days-long" parties.

In 2023, former co-star Masterson was found guilty of two counts of rape, which took place between 2001 and 2003, while Kutcher was still working with him.

Among the many civil lawsuits and federal charges stacked against Combs, his former girlfriend, singer Cassandra Ventura, says the rapper was protected by his "tremendously loyal network" who witnessed his transgressions, but "were not willing to do anything meaningful" to stop the violence.

After a 2023 to forget, it is now looking like 2024 will also go down as a bad year for Kutcher and his wife.

In separate letters addressed to the judge presiding over his case, Kutcher and Kunis requested leniency for Masterson who was eventually given a 30-year prison sentence.

Ashton wrote that his friend is "an extraordinarily honest and intentional human being," adding, "Not only is he a good friend to me, I’ve witnessed him be a good friend to others and the kind of brother others would be lucky to have."

Meanwhile, Kunis' letter was equally unsettling, claiming she "wholeheartedly" vouched for his "exceptional character" and the "tremendous positive influence".

The backlash to Kutcher and Kunis’ letters was furious.

The backlash to Kutcher and Kunis’ letters was furious. In the wake of it all, the pair both stepped down from their positions at the charity Thorn, which Kutcher had previously co-founded in 2009 as a non-profit aiming to help fight child sex exploitation.

They also released an apology video, claiming that they "support all victims". But the damage was done – their apologies were slammed as insincere and half-hearted, and the pair have barely been seen in public since.
