Justin Bieber is going through a tough time emotionally following the recent arrest of his former friend, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The music icon, known by various names like P. Diddy or Puff Daddy, was taken into custody on September 16 at a New York hotel on charges of sex trafficking, abuse, assault, and more.
According to a source speaking to Us Weekly on Wednesday, October 9, Bieber is struggling mentally. The history he shares with Diddy and the serious allegations against him have been weighing heavily on his mind. Another insider revealed to the publication that the 30-year-old singer is “completely disgusted” by Combs’ scandal and has been advised to distance himself from the situation as much as possible.
Recent sightings of Bieber in public show him looking solemn and contemplative as he tried to leave the Chateau Marmont alone. Despite the challenges he’s facing, sources close to him mention that the positive aspects of his life, such as his newborn son, have been a source of comfort and relief from the anxiety he’s been feeling. He is determined to move on from Diddy’s legal troubles and focus on the future.
While Bieber is eager to distance himself from Diddy’s legal issues, his past connection to the Bad Boy Records founder continues to be a topic of discussion. Old videos resurfaced online, showing a young Bieber spending time with the now-incarcerated rapper and producer. Despite the history between them, Bieber is determined to move forward and leave the past behind.
Diddy is currently in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial. Despite his pleas of innocence, he has been denied bail on two occasions. In a show of support, Diddy’s mother, Janice Small Combs, has defended her son, calling the situation a “public lynching” and urging for a fair chance for him to share his side of the story.
