JUSTIN Bieber may be acting deurmekaar these days, but it’s not because he is a victim of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
That’s the word from a Bieber spokesperson, according to US celebrity skinner website TMZ.
The father of one has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons again, posting images last week of him smoking what looks to be dagga while recording in Iceland and having reported marital problems with wife Hailey.
All this is happening with the backdrop of Diddy’s ongoing federal sex-trafficking trial in New York City.
On Friday, the Bad Boy Record founder’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified that she was coerced to have sex with male escorts as Diddy watched and recorded the events.
Singer Cassie is just one of the alleged victims in the trial, with more set to tell their story.
But the Baby hitmaker is not one of them.
There has been a moerse klomp skinner and speculation about Diddy and Justin since the two spent an infamous 48 hours together 15 years ago, when the pop idol was just 15 years old.
In the video, Diddy tells the camera: “Where we’re hanging out and what we’re doing cannot really be disclosed. For the next 48 hours, he’s with me and we’re gonna go buck full crazy.”
Diddy then went on Jimmy Kimmel Live some years later and told the host: “He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. “Everything ain’t for everybody
But Bieber’s statement to TMZ says: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him.
“Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
Not long after Combs was arrested in the state of New York on sex trafficking and racketeering charges - which he has denied - a source opened up to DailyMail.com about Justin's reaction to the news.
The insider said: 'Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off.'”
According to the source, the singer also regretted working with Combs on the rapper's 2023 album titled The Love Album: Off the Grid.
They added: “He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him.”
“He was featured on Diddy's most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it.”
