Ashton Kutcher Faced Hostility Over Combs Friendship  3/16/05

Ashton Kutcher claims his friendship with Sean 'P Diddy Combs caused so much outrage, he faced hostility from a number of the rap mogul's friends.

Kutcher, boyfriend of Demi Moore, has been enjoying a friendship with Combs for some time, and is stunned at the amount of attention it seems to have attracted.

He says, "People couldn't understand what this white kid from middle America, this farm kid, was doing with this black hip-hop mogul from New York.

"His friends would come up to me and say, 'I don't know what's going on, but if you're trying to get something...' I was like, 'We're just friends! People aren't used to that."
