Justin Bieber has been dragged into a painful drama, and many in his family and close entourage are concerned.
Despite his decision to remain quiet, Bieber has become a trending topic because of Sean “Diddy” Combs‘s arrest.
Diddy allegedly mingled in sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for the purposes of prostitution.
The mogul is also facing multiple lawsuits from men and women he dated, slept with, or worked with for sexual abuse and rape.
Justin Bieber is often painted as a victim in the Diddy scandal. Fans and loved ones are worried about Bieber, who had a close relationship with Diddy when he was young, impressionable, and new to the entertainment industry.
Numerous videos have resurfaced online in which a teenage Bieber is hanging out with the rap and media mogul, who is bragging about his bizarre and barely legal antics.
In one of the old and alarming footage, Diddy said: “Here we are hanging out, and what we are doing, we really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old dream.”
In another video, the Bad Boy Records founder made the following disturbing remark about Bieber: “He knows better than to talk about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. Everything ain’t for everybody.”
According to The Daily Mail, Bieber is troubled and pained by the theories and allegations surrounding the era during which Diddy mentored him.
Others close to Beiber are upset at his family and management team for feeding him to the wolves when he was barely 14 or 15.
Sources told The Mail: “He should never have been allowed to party with Diddy or anyone else as a teen. He was thrown to the wolves by his mother, Pattie Mallette, and his largely absent father, Jeremy Bieber. Usher, whose record label Bieber was signed to, and who was mentored by Diddy as a teen, is also partly responsible.”
Those, who know Bieber well, including his wife, Hailey Bieber, his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, and former best friend and longtime collaborator Benny Blanco, are heartbroken for what he is unfairly being forced to endure now.
And Insider told Page Six: “I believe he was involved in some stupid s–t? Yeah. He was a teenager. He was the biggest pop star in the world. Everyone worried about him, and we didn’t know if he would survive. People took advantage of everything he did.”
In his music, Bieber laid out an unspeakable pain. In the song “Lonely,” a collaboration with Benny Blanco, Justin Bieber poured his heart and soul into the world about his struggles and unbearable shame.
Bieber, who has confessed to battling anxiety and depression and taking pills to deal with his demons, said the following about the song: “When Blanco and Finneas O’Connell showed me this song, to be honest, it was hard to listen to considering how tough it was to get through some of these chapters.”
Many are hopeful that Gomez and boyfriend Blanco could reach out to Bieber during this stormy time.
