<p id=”par-13_68″>“He does not want to get involved in this, but knows that his association means he already is,” the insider said. “If he gets contacted by the authorities, he will be fully cooperative as he has nothing to hide … Ashton knows that he dug himself a hole with this one but never in a million years did he believe that Diddy was truly doing these horrible things.”</p>
