Justin Bieber Breaks Silence On Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Abuse Rumors As Sex Trafficking Trial Continues

Justin Bieber is clearing up rumors that he was victimized by Sean “Diddy” Combs in a new statement from his rep, acquired by Access Hollywood. “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” a spokesperson said on May 15. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.” After Combs was arrested and indicted in September 2024, an old video of him and the “Ghost” singer resurfaced online. In the video, a then 15-year-old Bieber stood next to the Bad Boy Records mogul as the then-39-year-old producer talked about them spending 48 hours together, going “full crazy.” Commenters online remarked that the video was “disturbing,” and wondered if Bieber might be among those allegedly victimized by the hip-hop mogul. Combs’ trial began on May 12. He faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, among others. He has pleaded not guilty.
