Justin Bieber ‘Haunted’ by Past Amid Diddy Scandal, Source Claims

Justin Bieber has been affected by the arrest of his former mentor Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and is struggling to trust those in his inner circle, according to new reports.

RadarOnline says the pop icon has retreated from the spotlight after all that has happened in the past few weeks involving Diddy. Multiple videos of Bieber as a teenager have been circulating the internet since Diddy’s arrest, sparking all sorts of conspiracy theories and speculation.

Music mogul Diddy, readers will no doubt know. Another wave of legal filings were made public on October 1, according to the Los Angeles Times, revealing that more than 100 people planned to file lawsuits against Diddy.

Before Diddy’s arrest, speculation had linked a number of A-list stars to the infamous “Freak Off” parties he used to throw. Not only that, but apparent links have resurfaced regarding Diddy’s relationship with Justin Bieber, who was reportedly just 15 when the pair met.

According to a troubling claim made by RadarOnline, Bieber, now 30, is “haunted” by his past.

Fans were concerned recently when Bieber appeared tired and haggard while out for dinner with his wife Hailey. RadarOnline believes that was around the time old clips of Bieber and Diddy were circulating.

Sean “Diddy” Combs and Justin Bieber perform at the BET-SOS Save Yourself Help for Haiti Benefit Concert at the AmericanAirlines Arena on February 5, 2010 in Miami, Florida.

In one of the clips in question, Diddy brags about spending “48 hours” with Bieber, who was then 15.

“He had 48 hours with Diddy. What we were doing, we can’t really talk about. But it was definitely a 15-year-old’s dream… We were going absolutely crazy,” he said.

Now, sources say Bieber’s association with Diddy may have had a negative impact on the Baby singer. An individual, who reportedly worked on Bieber’s team for years, told PageSix: “Do I believe he was involved in some stupid stuff? Yes.

“He’s a teenager. He’s the biggest pop star in the world. Everyone was worried about him, and we didn’t know if he would survive.

“People took advantage of everything he did.”

Another source added: “Justin has done some really crazy things – and he’s alienated the people around him. He doesn’t trust them.”

Since his arrest, Diddy has been denied bail twice, with judges citing the fact that Combs could intimidate witnesses.
