Gene Deal warns Ashton Kutcher: "Wherever Diddy went, his tape recorders went"

Gene Deal, the former bodyguard of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has stirred controversy by asserting that Ashton Kutcher should be concerned about his long-standing friendship with the rapper. During an interview on The Art of Dialogue podcast, Deal emphasized that Diddy was notorious for documenting everything around him, raising the stakes amid Diddy's current legal troubles.

Deal's alarming comments came shortly after Diddy’s arrest on September 16, 2024, at the Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, following a grand jury indictment. The rapper faces serious charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and fraud, and is scheduled for trial on October 9, 2024.

“Ashton Kutcher has a right to be alarmed if he was doing things with Diddy,” Deal stated, suggesting that the actor's closeness to the rapper might be a cause for concern. This remark has left many in shock, given their seemingly friendly rapport over the years.

Further probing into Diddy’s legal issues, Deal questioned the timing of the authorities' actions. “Why didn’t they stop him then? Why do they wait till 2024?” he inquired, indicating that he had not been contacted by either the defense or the prosecution but acknowledged that he could be called upon soon.

During the podcast, Deal expressed skepticism about Diddy’s potential cooperation with authorities, asserting that the rapper had been under surveillance for over a decade and implying that there may already be recorded evidence of wrongdoing.

Additionally, he recounted a past outing with Kutcher and Diddy at a Mets game, revealing their close ties. Deal also introduced the idea of a group called the "Brat Pact," implying that other notable figures, including actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, might also need to be cautious.

As Gene Deal’s statements continue to gain traction on social media, neither Ashton Kutcher nor his wife has publicly addressed the situation. With Diddy's upcoming trial, the implications of Deal’s remarks remain to be seen.
