Justin ​Bieber is feeling the impact of his former mentor Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest and is‌ having a hard time trusting those close to him, ⁣as per new reports.

RadarOnline reports that the pop star has stepped back from⁢ public⁢ life after everything that’s happened with Diddy in recent weeks. Old ⁣videos of Bieber as a⁤ teenager have gone viral online since Diddy’s arrest,⁣ leading to various conspiracy theories and rumors.

Music mogul Diddy, as you probably know, is facing serious charges like sex trafficking, racketeering​ and transporting people ​for prostitution. On ⁣October 1st, more legal actions were announced‌ according to⁢ the Los Angeles Times; over 100 individuals are planning to file⁤ lawsuits claiming sexual abuse and exploitation by Diddy.

With Diddy’s arrest making headlines, many A-listers have been linked ⁣to ⁣his notorious “Freak Off” parties. There are also connections being made between Justin Bieber and‌ Diddy; they met when ⁢Bieber ‌was just 15 years old.

RadarOnline claims that now at age 30, Bieber ⁣feels⁤ “haunted” by‍ his past experiences.

Fans grew concerned recently when⁣ they noticed Bieber looking tired and thin while⁣ out for dinner with his wife Hailey. RadarOnline‍ suggests this was around the same time old clips of⁤ him with Diddy ⁣became popular again.

In‍ one clip that went ‍viral,Diddy‌ talked about spending “48 hours” with a young Bieber ‍who⁣ was‌ only fifteen then.

“He’s having a ⁤wild time with me. What we’re ​doing ⁤can’t be shared but it’s definitely every teen’s dream ​… we’re ​gonna go all out,” he said.

Now sources say⁤ that these ties between Justin & Diddy might be negatively impacting the Baby singer. One person who worked closely with him told PageSix:​ “Do I think​ he got involved in some dumb stuff? Yeah.”

“He was just a kid but also the biggest pop star globally! Everyone worried about him not knowing ⁤if he would ‌make it through.”

“People took advantage of everything he did.”

Another source added:‍ “Justin has done some really wild things & pushed away those around ⁢him. He doesn’t trust them anymore.”

Since his arrest,Diddy’s bail has been denied twice because ‌judges believe he could scare witnesses away
