Diddy‘s arrest and indictment on criminal charges shocked the world, but his former protégée, Justin Bieber, reportedly suffered more. A source recently claimed the Baby singer’s friends are concerned about his well-being, noting he handled the scandal poorly. Those around Bieber initially believed his new dad status had influenced his lack of socializing.
However, welcoming a son with his wife Hailey had nothing to do with him allegedly distancing himself from friends. The insider noted the former teen idol seemed “more troubled than ever” following recent events like Diddy’s scandal. They warned that Bieber could be regressing to his dark days of depression, stressing:
“When he experiences low lows, Justin disappears sometimes. Some in his immediate circle are worried.”
The source’s comments matched a different informant’s claims about Bieber. They implied that his demeanor had drastically changed following his former mentor’s sex trafficking case and other related crimes. The STAY artist was so disturbed by Diddy’s legal drama that he had “shut himself off from the world.”
Bieber’s alleged reaction wasn’t far-fetched as the music mogul took him under his wing at a young age. Given their past, watching Diddy’s fall from grace seemed too difficult for Bieber to bear. The informant claimed his loved ones lamented the impact the scandal has had on him, telling In Touch:
“It’s like he’s fallen off the map since Diddy’s arrest and all the sick details coming out. People are genuinely worried about him.”
Diddy’s Attorneys Are Fighting to Clear His Name
Following his September arrest, Diddy has remained behind bars at MDC Brooklyn while his lawyers fought a public battle. We covered the rapper’s legal reps’ recent response to claims about minors at one of his infamous parties. Aspiring singer-songwriter Tanea Wallace alleged she was invited to what she believed was a Diddy “Freak Off” party. She recalled attending the event with a Saudi Prince, who flew her from L.A. to Miami.
The party allegedly went on all night to morning, with the singer-songwriter claiming she witnessed concerning situations. Wallace noted she saw several people having sex, many of whom seemed high on drugs or alcohol. However, the most alarming part of the party was spotting “little people” dressed like Harajuku Barbies. When asked what she meant, Wallace explained that a wall of adults obscured minors.
Although she did not know what transpired between the group, seeing non-adults at the event was concerning. But Diddy’s attorneys claimed there was no reason for the public to be alarmed by her story. The rapper’s reps slammed Wallace’s comments as a “publicity stunt,” arguing that they were “facially ridiculous” and “pure fiction.”
Although they stressed their client could not respond to every allegation against him, the lawyers happily slammed the singer-songwriter. They called her out for spreading a false narrative, claiming, “Ms. Tanea Wallace has no credibility, and her claims about ‘freak offs’ and minors are completely and categorically false.”
Could claims like Tanea Wallace’s be part of the news bothering Justin Bieber? Will the singer stay quiet amid Diddy’s legal battle, or will he eventually address his former mentor’s alleged crimes?
