Justin Bieber Addresses Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Allegations
Justin Bieber has stated that he was never a victim of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing sex abuse accusations. Combs played a role in launching the young performer’s career when he was just 15. Amidst the ongoing high-profile sex trafficking trial involving the disgraced mogul, Bieber has broken his silence, addressing the rumors directly.
Bieber’s Representatives Issue Statement
“While Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there exist individuals who have genuinely suffered harm at his hands. Diverting attention from this fact detracts from the justice these victims are rightfully owed,” representatives for Bieber, 31, conveyed to TMZ in a statement released Thursday evening.
Sources Deny Abuse Allegations
Several sources close to the “Never Say Never” artist have indicated that Combs, 61, never subjected Bieber to sexual or any other form of abuse. This statement aims to quell online speculation that has arisen during Combs’ sex trafficking trial this week in Manhattan federal court.
Online Scrutiny of Past Interactions
As Diddy’s trial unfolds, observers online have revisited videos featuring the “Bump, Bump, Bump” rapper alongside a then-teenage Bieber. These videos have fueled discussions and raised eyebrows due to the nature of their interactions.
Awkward Exchanges Under Examination
One particular video shows Combs making a series of awkwardly worded comments while a visibly uncomfortable Bieber, looking youthful, faces the camera. The video has resurfaced amid the trial, drawing renewed attention.
Details from the Video Include:
- Combs stating Bieber would be “having 48-hours with his boy.”
- Comments about their activities being undisclosed.
- An assertion that “we’re gonna go buck full crazy”.
Growing Concerns for Bieber’s Well-being
In recent months, followers have voiced increasing unease regarding the “Yummy” singer’s increasingly disheveled appearance, apparent substance use, and often incoherent posts on social media.
