Leonardo DiCaprio has backed out of a pricey fundraiser lunch for Hillary Clinton that the actor had been scheduled to host at his Los Angeles home this week. Pop star Justin Timberlake and his wife Jessica Biel will instead host the event at their home.
But the timing of DiCaprio’s cancellation comes as the actor’s environmental-focused charitable organization, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, was linked to a $3 billion Malaysian embezzlement scheme in news reports last week. The foundation — which focuses on climate change initiatives and hosts a glitzy annual party for hundreds of A-list celebrities and dignitaries — is alleged to have received donations tied to money misappropriated from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund that had been earmarked for development in the country.
Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin told the Hollywood Reporter that the implication that DiCaprio bowed out due to his foundation’s alleged connection to the Malaysian embezzlement scandal is “completely false.”

Some charity against global warming stealing from Malaysians!
You cannot make this hypocrit Hollywood scum up. It all is about enslaving and restricting people so they can keep their own secure positions.
Deny, deny, deny. Three different sources. Must mean its true.
The important issue is that this is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, on these ‘foundations for charity’ like the Clintons, DeCaprio, and dozens of other Hollywood Celebrities. It’s not limited to just Stars and Pols, either. And it is going on all over the world.
Actually, they flaunt their wealth while acting like it came from honest sources.
bout 1/20 of the potential $ graft
So true.
“The foundation — which focuses on climate change initiatives and hosts a glitzy annual party for hundreds of A-list celebrities and dignitaries — is alleged to have received donations tied to money misappropriated from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund that had been earmarked for development in the country.”
So the real purpose of the Leonardo DiCaprio fund is to be a disguised “social fund” for throwing an annual frat-party for Leo’s friends?
Can anyone explain the connection between the demodummies and the “so-called” entertainment establishment? Unlike the minorities who are blessed numerous handouts, what do the demodummies hand out to the entertainers that compels them to dump so much money to the demodummies?
Entertainers are narcissists and the Demo Party gives them a chance at virtue projection on a massive scale.
I’m inclined to believe that this pathetic white guilt nonsense, is strong in the field of arts. I mean seriously, how else could lil Leo ever have made a 10th of the money he paid to act?
The lefty mind set is just so abnormal imho
There lies a major issue with rich Hollywood liberals. Through circumstances of making the right connections and having good looks and stage presence, they make enormous amounts of money with relatively little effort. I know nothing of his family, but DiCaprio may have a brother or sister working at a non-entertainment job somewhere in Southern California, earning, say, $60K a year and struggling to make house, car, and credit card payments. These are the circumstances that lead to guilt that can be played upon by liberal fundraisers. Many actors have a marginal education and are generally not book smart, but they can parrot politically correct phrases in real life, given their training.
Off topic, but interesting.
During rehearsals of the famous horse’s head scene in the The Godfather, a fake horse’s head was used. The day of the shoot, Coppola got a real horses’s head from a dog food factory, but didn’t tell John Marley.
Marley said that when he saw a real horse’s head in the bed, his response was more real than acting.
After jetting in from all over the world, the “elites” (crooks) while at the global warming event they put on as an excuse to party, they used helicopters to bring in Sea Bass to dine on while talks were being given about overfishing........
