Pop star Justin Bieber is reportedly struggling to come to terms with the recent arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces serious charges including sex trafficking, abuse, and exploitation. Once a protégé of Combs, Bieber is said to be “deeply disturbed” by the allegations against the hip-hop mogul and is re-evaluating his past association with him.
Combs, who was a mentor to Bieber during the early stages of his career, was recently indicted on charges that accuse him of coercion, abuse, and years of exploitation. The indictment comes after raids were conducted at Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami properties, following accusations from multiple individuals, including his former partner, Cassie Ventura. Disturbing details from the indictment have landed Combs behind bars in Brooklyn, alongside other high-profile inmates.
According to a source who spoke to Daily Mail, Bieber is reportedly struggling to process the news of Combs’ arrest. “Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it, so he has shut off,” the source said. The insider further claimed that the pop star has been unresponsive to inquiries about his former mentor and has chosen to remain silent since the news of Combs’ legal troubles broke. “Justin hasn’t been responding since the home raids. He’s not going to,” the source added.

In recent years, Bieber had distanced himself from Combs, but resurfacing footage and social media speculation have brought renewed attention to their past relationship. Some online commentators have speculated that Bieber may have been a victim of Combs’ alleged abuse, prompting his gradual separation from the music mogul.
As the scandal surrounding Combs intensifies, Bieber is reportedly filled with regret over his past collaboration with the now-disgraced figure. According to sources close to the singer, Bieber would never have worked with Combs had he known about the allegations at the time.
The fallout from Combs’ arrest has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, and Bieber is just one of many grappling with the revelations. For now, the pop star has chosen to remain silent, processing the situation privately.
