SOLVED!
[Blind Gossip] A fundraising event for one of the U.S. Presidential Candidates was going to be hosted by a famous actor.
At the last minute, The Actor bowed out, saying that he had a “scheduling conflict.”
No. That was a lie.
There was no scheduling conflict. The truth is that The Actor was actually ASKED to bow out by [The Presidential Candidate].
While The Candidate would normally love the endorsement and support of a Hollywood actor, in this case The Actor is involved in some shady financial dealings with a charity organization!
Since the The Candidate’s own finances are under scrutiny, holding an event together would have highlighted The Candidate’s own finances. By getting rid of The Actor, that sensitive talking point would be avoided and the media would cover it as a regular fundraiser.
Shade avoided. Nothing to see here, folks!

Presidential Candidate: Hillary Clinton
The Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio
Hillary Clinton and actor Leonardo DiCaprio are a regular couple of swells.
Leonardo gave Hillary lots of money, and Hillary honored Leonardo for his environmental activism at the Clinton Global Citizen Awards. The two were as thick as thieves.
In early August 2016, it was announced that Leonardo DiCaprio was going to to host a $33,400-a-plate event for Clinton at his home in Los Angeles on August 22.
Right before the dinner, The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, Leonardo’s environmentally-focused charitable organization, was linked to a $3 billion Malaysian embezzlement scheme.
Supposedly, Leonardo DiCaprio, some Malysian financial crook, and The Obama White House all became entangled in the disappearance of $3 billion that was supposed to be used for environmental charities to help protect the rainforest.
Leonardo took his cut of the loot – tens of millions of dollars – and did NOT use it to save the rainforest. He used the money to finance the production of The Wolf of Wall Street.
Ruh roh.
Hillary Clinton already had her hands full dealing with the financial shadiness of The Clinton Foundation. There was no way she was going to exacerbate that situation by going to shady Leo’s house for tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. So, on August 21st, ONE DAY before the luncheon, Leo mumbled something about being busy and cancelled.
Busy? Ha! What really happened is that Hillary Clinton shoved Leonardo DiCaprio off the big wooden door and into the cold ocean to drown by himself.
The dinner was moved to Justin Timberlake’s house in Los Angeles, and Lonely Leonardo rode his bike around Manhattan, pouting over being given the cold shoulder by the Presidential Candidate and wondering if he would have to return all that Wolf Of Wall Street money.
Since then, the Malaysian 1MDB scandal has become even bigger news. Today, Leonardo was asked to return the pilfered funds and to resign from his climate change position with the U.N.
We hear that Leonardo is still supporting Hillary, though. As he rode his bike toward the gas-guzzling private jet that would take him to the gas-guzzling private yacht that would take him to his next environmental conference, he was heard declaring… “I’ll never let go!”
Congratulations to Shelaur22 for being first with the correct answer!
malasaur says
Solved! It was Leonardo Dicaprio and they changed the location to Justin Timberlake’s house.

Drumpf just cancelled one fete, and is “reassessing his schedule” for any more as he juggles his cast.
He made a farce of himself in Louisiana, then donated 100k to anti-LGBT group headed by that skeezy pastor who just lost his home. He is also refusing to release his taxes, and getting caught in some new “questionable actions” almost every day.
HRC and Foundation know they’ve been under scrutiny for years, and are now refusing Intl and corporate donations…GS excluded, it seems?

It’s not even close–Trump’s finances are much shadier, with much of his net worth being calculated by what value he assigns to his “brand.” Add to that the radical downgrading in value of several of his golf courses and his remarkable ability to refuse to pay contractors for completed work and/or file bankruptcy, and you’ve got one seriously shady financial history–which is exactly why he’s refusing to release his tax returns.
Like the Clintons or don’t, but…
brunettegal804 says
At least Hilary released her tax returns. Trump is hiding something or why wouldn’t he release his returns. First presidential candidate not to release returns in awhile. Trump is the shadiest of all.
woowoo says
Trump refuses to release his tax returns. That’s shady. For someone who has spent the last 5 or 6 years running around demanding people release birth certificates, college transcripts, and TAX RETURNS of all things… pretty hypocritical.

boyzmom says
Lol Ace. You’re just asking for it with this blind. But, I’ll guess Hilary because she is the one doing most of the fundraising right now. I think they both have something to hide in their finances, but I know more about the Clinton Initiative because my son was a part of that. Very, very shady.

Have you ever looked at a candidate’s tax returns before? Ever? I don’t know anyone who ever has, but suddenly everyone is obsessed just because he won’t release his. It’s like ankles being sexy when you weren’t allowed to look at them.

Hill’s finances are MUCH more shady. The Clinton shady dealings go back 40 years. She’s got nothing on Leo
AnguaDelphine says
Leonardo DiCaprio/Hillary Clinton.
Hillary got paid by Goldman Sachs to talk. Donald Trump has used that to say that GS “owns” Hillary while actually owing GS money himself. And while probably not having enough money himself to pay it back. I’d say Donald’s finances are waaay shadier than Hillary’s.

Hillary Clinton. She’s had 21 fundraisers and only 1 campaign event in August, probably because she can’t fill a room with supporters.
Leo Dicaprio had to bow out due to his environmental-focused charitable organization, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, was linked to a $3 billion Malaysian embezzlement scheme. The funds that were supposed to go to his environmental causes were “missappropriated”

Hillary Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio
Valfunde says
Leonardo DiCaprio was going to throw a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. I think both candidates have shady money dealings, but at least Bill and Hill released their taxes. Trump has not and doesn’t seem like he will. To me, that means he is hiding something…his “financials” are probably way more shady than the Clintons.

[Optional] Which Candidate’s finances are shadier? At this point, I really don’t know. Donald Trump’s unwillingness to release his tax returns, combined with Manafort’s shady dealings, makes me unsure about him. As far as Hillary Clinton…… all I have to say about her is that Pinocchio’s nose now looks like a tree stump compared to her nose, so who knows where her finances really stand…..

On what evidence are you challenging Hillary being under scrutiny as being guilty of anything, so far a lot of * has been thrown at her but what counts is what has stuck. None of it has so far stuck. If you are just being “Sarcastic” it is not amusing.
