CONTENT WARNING: This post briefly mentions sexual abuse allegations.
After 10 months of abuse allegations, the 54-year-old was charged last week with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pled not guilty in court and currently awaits trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being denied bail twice.
This week, old photographs of Ashton, Diddy, and several other celebrities surfaced online. Subsequently, rumors circulated claiming that the renewed speculation about Ashton’s past relationship with Diddy amid his arrest may have caused issues in his marriage to Mila.
It’s important to note that the breakup chatter appears to stem mainly from unsubstantiated blind items on TikTok and has not been reported by reputable outlets. And now, a source close to Ashton and Mila has wasted no time shutting it down.
“This is absolutely ridiculous and false,” an insider told People on Sept. 25.
In the same report, a second source commented on speculation about the nature of Diddy and Ashton’s past interactions, saying, “Ashton has only seen Diddy in a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media.”
“Ashton has no involvement in any of this,” they continued. “He doesn’t belong in this conversation about Diddy.”
