Out of all the voices speaking out against Sean โDiddyโ Combs in recent years, Gene Deal seems to be the loudest and most unwavering. As Diddyโs former bodyguard, Deal has seen and experienced a lot with Combs, and now that the disgraced Hip-Hop mogul is facing serious prison time over racketeering and sex crimes, Deal has yet another warning for some of Hollywoodโs beloved celebrities.

In a recent interview with โThe Art Of Dialogueโ podcast, Deal said that Diddy may not hesitate to throw his celebrity friends under the bus if it means heโll get a lighter sentence. โIf the federal government wanted someone more than they wanted Diddy... heโs able to give that information to them,โ Deal said. โHe gonโ be as truthful as possible.โ
Over the years, Diddy has been open about his close relationships with some of Hollywoodโs most prominent figures, but now that the Diddy ship is rapidly sinking, Deal said people need to watch their backs.
This means celebrities like actor Ashton Kutcher, who has public ties to Puff Daddy and his family. โAshton Kutcher and him were real tight,โ Deal revealed in the interview before adding that he, Diddy, and Kutcher once attended a basketball game alongside Jay-Z.
โAshton Kutcher has a right to be kind of alarmed if he was doing things with Diddy,โ Deal said. The former security guard also noted that Diddy has most of his life on tape. โWherever Diddy went, his tape recorders went,โ Deal continued. โHe was video taping everything.โ
Like many celebrities, Kutcher attended Diddyโs infamous parties, where much of the alleged criminal activity took place, but does mean Kutcher is directly involved?

Rumors surrounding the โThat โ70s Showโ actorโs possible involvement with Diddyโs nefarious activities began shortly after the Bad Boy Records CEO was arrested in September.
But despite their decades-long friendship, thereโs been absolutely no evidence heโs done anything wrong but attend parties and thatโs not against the law. And according to TMZ, Kutcher is NOT connected to the case.
One source close to Kutcher even told TMZ, โThis narrative has got to stop. Ashton has nothing to do with this.โ The source continued saying Kutcher had โzero involvement. Zero knowledge of [Diddyโs] activities.โ
Combs and Kutcher began their close friendship after an episode of MTVโs โPunkโd.โ In an interview of the duo on โThe Late Late Show with James Corden,โ Combs even referred to him and Kutcherโs friendship as โthe new Rat Pack.โ
Kutcher has not been named in any lawsuits or the federal indictment against Diddy. Since the mogulโs arrest, over 100 alleged victims have come out against Combs not Kutcher or any other A-lister so far. So maybe Diddyโs former bodyguards should stop with all these theories.
