Justin Bieber is reportedly in shock over major mental health problems relating to recent claims filed against his ex-mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs. Diddy, who once stood tall in the music industry, is facing grave charges related to sexual assault and sex trafficking. This news has simply left Bieber “completely disgusted” and struggling to understand how these revelations have affected him.
Sources close to the pop superstar say the emotional toll of Diddy’s arrest has forced Bieber into a shell. He has refused to talk about it at all, an indicator of just how deeply disturbed he is by the unfolding scandal. Many in Bieber’s career that helped mold him as an artist are deeply intertwined with Diddy, further complicating things for him.
He has been advised to be with his family, most of all his newborn son, during these crucial times. Friends and family have underlined the significance of his well-being, suggesting he step away from whatever association he has with Diddy.
Some old videos have emerged that show the interaction between them and add to public unease and speculation over Bieber’s mental state. Considering everything, he is understandably prioritizing family, which indeed reflects protective instinct on his part from all the chaos around him.
Well, Sean Combs and Justin Bieber‘s friendship is a sort of saga. The two met for the first time when Bieber was just 13 years old. He had just begun his rise into stardom when he was a YouTube sensation, and Diddy was an established name in the business. Their friendship grew because Diddy was obligated to Usher, who had been Bieber’s early mentor. Diddy also became more-so guiding, helping Justin through the darker and trickier waters of fame and music.
Of course, all that changed when Diddy got arrested. According to sources, Bieber is so grossed out by the allegations against Diddy that he’s been trying to keep his distance from his old mentor. The move seems to be one of damage control-to protect his reputation and his mental health from the rapidly unfolding scandal. Indeed, friends insist that Bieber is in a “hard place mentally” as he tries to grapple with the emotional aftermath of Diddy’s legal woes.
Though Diddy once called Bieber “one of the biggest superstars in the world,” events that have gone down between the duo have had a long shadow cast over their relationship. Diddy still remembers how he first came across Bieber playing guitar outside and just how talented the talented young artist was. They were spotted attending parties and events together, and this mentorship was a significant part of Bieber’s rise to fame.
As Dr. Jenn Mann, a prominent mental health expert, explained, Bieber’s silence may mean “Bieber’s silence about Diddy may indicate that he is taking some time to attend to his mental health.”. Dr. Mann also explained that legal advice might be an influence in Bieber’s behavior since lawyers may have advised him not to say much about the case in public because of its seriousness.
Pressures are high at such a tantalizing time, being a new dad. “He is likely focusing on his family during the time of stress”, Dr. Mann elaborated further amidst the press that scrutinize his life.
Of Diddy, Bieber has not said much, publicly, the relationship at one time was a very friendly relationship. Of course, this can be attributed to the fact that Diddy was one of the first to appreciate the capabilities of the young Bieber. In this way, Diddy and Bieber were supportive to one another, but times have changed.
Diddy’s situation has not only put a dent in his personal reputation but also sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry. The serious allegations against him have led to intense media scrutiny, and many who once admired Diddy are now rethinking their support. The fallout could lead to boycotts, loss of endorsement, and distancing by fellow celebrities and brands that could further complicate Diddy’s already tarnished image.
