Leonardo DiCaprio Backs Out of Hillary Clinton Fundraiser

The actor-activist says he won't host the event at his L.A. home due to a scheduling conflict and Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have stepped in as hosts. The Clinton campaign denies the decision is connected to questions DiCaprio and his foundation are facing over ties to a $3 billion embezzlement scheme.

Leonardo DiCaprio abruptly has dropped out of hosting a Tuesday fundraiser for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton at his Hollywood Hills home, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter. The $33,400-per-guest event, part of a series of late-August fundraisers for Clinton in Los Angeles, now will be held at the nearby residence of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.

On Saturday, an unidentified source close to the event told People the reason he backed out was work-related – that his current project will keep him in New York until Wednesday. DiCaprio is taking his documentary The Turning Point to the Toronto Film Festival in September. He is not currently filming a movie as an actor.

But the move comes as DiCaprio, 41, has become linked in press reports to a $3 billion Malaysian embezzlement scandal. Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an asset-seizure complaint in federal court pertaining to a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund called 1MDB. Hillary and Bill Clinton's own eponymous charitable foundation has been the subject of intense scrutiny during the campaign, particularly its connection to foreign money.

Co-hosts at the Timberlake-Biel fundraiser are still expected to include DiCaprio's friend Tobey Maguire and his manager Rick Yorn, along with Shonda Rhimes, Scooter Braun and ICM head Chris Silbermann.

Well. Either way, they're rich, it's Hillary, a political and a respected actor, they won't get caught. Even if they do, jail time ain't coming.

THR is the most respected Hollywood trade and super liberal. Why the anger and personal attacks?

Leo is a playboy replacing a young blonde model one after the other and we all know what Justin did to Britney and Janet. I don't know why Hillary would want them campaign for her given their history with women.

Because people love and root for both of them, they are likable and GP friendly despite their flaws so being associated with them, at these points of their careers, is definitely a good thing and can help Clinton a lot.

OT: mess Leo, I would expect better from you
