Finally, a spokesperson from Justin Bieber’s camp has responded to the accusations that the music sensation is one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ claimed victims.
In September of last year, Combs, 55, was detained at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York, after being indicted by a grand jury.
He was then charged with two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and a conspiracy to commit racketeering. The hitmaker for the Bad Boys has refuted every accusation made against him.
The world’s media has been covering Combs’ sex trafficking trial since it started earlier this week, if not because of his long-cultivated celebrity status but rather because of the seriousness of the accusations made against him.
The possible involvement of other individuals is a matter of significant public concern. When the trial started on May 5, a number of celebrities who were not charged with any crimes were mentioned, and it is likely that more will be added as the case develops.
Justin Bieber is one celebrity whose name has been in the news a lot since Combs was initially charged. Video of the rapper and Bieber together when the latter was 15 years old reappeared after Combs was arrested and investigators searched his home in Los Angeles in March of last year.
Combs mentioned spending time with the then-teenage Bieber in one footage, saying the two would “go wild.”
Combs stated, “We can’t really disclose where we’re hanging out and what we’re doing, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”
“He’s with me for the next 48 hours,” he added. And we will go all out. Buck is just insane.
Diddy thought Bieber had “changed” since he no longer wanted to hang out with the rapper, according to a another video that was shot two years later.
“[Bieber] knows better than to be talking about things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television,” Combs stated during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2011.
Naturally, speculation that Bieber might be a Combs victim has exploded, and the 31-year-old was compelled to make a statement about his relationship with the defendant.
Even if Justin is not one of Sean Combs’ victims, there are others who were actually hurt by him, a Bieber representative told TMZ.
“The justice that these victims so richly deserve is diminished when attention is diverted from this reality.”
