LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ashton Kutcher, best known for his role in 'That '70s Show' and his activism against human trafficking, is now facing backlash over a resurfaced video from 2019.

The clip, which features Kutcher laughing while referencing music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs' infamous parties, has sparked controversy, particularly in the wake of Diddy's recent arrest on serious charges.

Many have taken to social media to criticize Kutcher, raising concerns about his associations, especially given his public stance on human rights, as per In Touch Weekly.

Ashton Kutcher's 2019 clip from 'Hot Ones' comes back to haunt him in wake of Diddy's arrest

The clip that has landed Kutcher in hot water is from a 2019 episode of the YouTube show 'Hot Ones.'

During the interview, Kutcher was asked about Diddy's notorious parties, known for their extravagant and often wild nature.

Rather than give a straightforward answer, Kutcher smiled and said, "I’ve got a lot I can’t tell," before pausing to add, "Can't tell that one either... I’m cycling through them."

He then remarked, "Diddy party stories… weird man," leaving fans and viewers speculating about the nature of these events.

At the time, this exchange may have been taken as light-hearted banter. However, with Diddy's recent legal troubles involving allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering, the video has taken on a much darker tone.

Many viewers now see Kutcher's comments as inappropriate, especially given the serious allegations surrounding Diddy’s parties.

On social media, fans expressed their disappointment.

One person remarked, "It sounds like he will be indicted - Kutcher has poor taste in friends. First Masterson and now Combs." Another said, "You can tell the flashbacks are worrisome from the way he sighs. Damn!!"

"Never liked Ashton. The marriage with Demi that felt opportunistic. Saying he thought blood was red wine… Masterson… Hopefully a lot of other deserving people go down with Diddy. They should," wrote one person. Another added, "Investigate him also. They all need to be prosecuted."

One individual wrote, "About to have a that 70s show reunion in prison." Another pointed out, "Judged by the friends you keep. Masterson and Diddy . Woof."

One netizen remarked, "Ashton Kutcher always being in the wrong side of history.

Diddy was arrested on September 16 following months-long investigation

Ashton Kutcher’s involvement in human rights activism has made this situation even more controversial.

As an outspoken advocate against human trafficking and co-founder of the organization Thorn, which works to combat child sexual exploitation, the resurfaced clip does not align well with his public persona.

Kutcher’s reputation has already faced scrutiny due to his public defense of Danny Masterson, a former co-star on 'That '70s Show,' who was recently convicted of rape.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested on September 16 following a months-long investigation.

According to court documents, Diddy is alleged to have organized events called 'Freak Offs,' where women were manipulated into participating in sexual activities.

During raids on Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami, authorities seized various items, including narcotics and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, which allegedly were used during these events.

The indictment further accuses Diddy of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse, with investigators describing a disturbing pattern of behavior that targeted women for over a decade.
