Justin Bieber is said to be greatly impacted by the scandal surrounding his former friend, Diddy. The singer spent a lot of time with Diddy as a child and the music mogul acted as a mentor to him during his teenage years. Now, the disgraced rapper has been arrested and charged with sexual assault crimes. Amid the controversy and chaos, fans can’t help but wonder what Bieber knew about Diddy’s alleged criminal activities and if he was possibly a victim himself.
Page Six reports that Justin Bieber is struggling as the Diddy drama explodes. Sources tell the outlet that the Baby singer is isolating himself as well as cutting off people in his inner circle, some of whom he’s known for decades.
In addition, Bieber’s recent appearances have sparked concern. The former teen idol looks to be a bit thin, and fans have expressed worry about him during this stressful time.
Justin Bieber Struggling Amid Diddy Drama
“Do I believe he was involved in some stupid s–t? Yeah,” an insider who previously worked with Bieber stated. “He was a teenager. He was the biggest pop star in the world. Everyone was worried about him, and we didn’t know if he would survive it. People took advantage of everything he did.”
Another source opened up about that situation as well, revealing that Justin is now being very careful about who he is letting into his life.
“Justin’s done some really crazy s–t and he’s alienated the people around him. He doesn’t trust them.”
Earlier this year, Justin and his wife, Hailey Bieber, welcomed their first child. The couple announced the birth of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, and fans were thrilled for the couple. However, the timing of his role as a new father couldn’t be worse. It was previously reported that the Diddy scandal was putting a damper on Bieber’s enjoyment of fatherhood.
Meanwhile, fans couldn’t help but to weigh in on the situation.
“People with skeletons in their closet do tend to clam up,” one person commented on the post.
“I really do feel sorry for him. It looks like he is struggling and deeply troubled in this whole scenario,” said another.
“Bieber is struggling because he is hiding so much. The moment that he spills the beans is the moment that he will begin to heal,” stated one person.
“He’s paranoid about those around him. I would be too,” a fourth comment read.
For now, Justin Bieber is staying quiet about Diddy. However, as the rapper’s trial nears and more information comes to light, the singer could be dragged into even more drama.
