Robert Kraft has been charged with soliciting prostitutes, but apparently that hasn’t stopped the New England Patriots owner from hitting the pre-Oscar party circuit in Hollywood.
The Super Bowl-winning Pats boss was spotted at a party thrown by fellow billionaire Ronald Perelman in Los Angeles on Friday.
Conspicuously absent at the event was Kraft’s girlfriend, Ricki Lander, according to Page Six.
Kraft was one of several uber wealthy figures at Perelman’s dinner, the gossip site reported.
Robert Kraft was seen at a party in Hollywood on Friday night just hours after Florida police announced misdemeanor charges of soliciting a prostitute against him. Kraft was reportedly without his girlfriend, Ricki Lander. The couple is seen at the Super Bowl in Atlanta this month
Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder and CEO, was there, though he was not with his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez.
There are rumors that Bezos and Sanchez will attend the Oscars together on Sunday.
Perelman, the banker and investor, is one of America’s richest men.
He is reported to have a net worth of $9.4billion.
Perelman also knows how to throw a party. The guest list at his shindig included big names like Warren Beatty, Barry Diller, Lorne Michaels, Ron Howard, Jamie Foxx, Pharrell Williams, Spike Lee, and Sylvester Stallone, among others.
How fitting for Kraft to be getting ready for the Oscars given that the recent news about him reads like something from a Hollywood script.
Florida police on Friday said Kraft was caught on video paying women for sex at a massage parlor.
Kraft, 77, a billionaire businessman who built the Patriots into the National Football League’s most dominant franchise, was swept up in a police sting targeting sex-trafficking in day spas and massage parlors in several Florida counties.
The operation has led to hundreds being charged.
Kraft, who lives in Massachusetts but owns property in Palm Beach, Florida, is accused of visiting Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida, on two separate occasions to solicit sex.
The two charges he faces are misdemeanors.
Authorities have video evidence depicting the acts in question after installing hidden cameras inside the spa, police officials said, adding that Kraft had been dropped off by a driver.
