‘Justin feels like there is no one that he can talk to that understands and, to be honest, he doesn’t even fully understand,’ the insider explained. ‘He was a kid.’

The source added that the fallout comes amid his current struggles to try and be a good parent having not had the best example from his own father, Jeremy Bieber.

‘Justin is stressed right now,’ the insider continued. ‘He has a baby boy and trying to be a good dad without having anything to reference what a good father is.’

Speaking to the fragile singer’s emotional state, the source added: ‘He is sailing these waters alone and everyone fears that if Hailey shows any struggles with being a first time mom then this is going to be incredibly difficult for Justin.

‘Diddy could not have happened at a worse time as he is trying to experience the joy of being a father with the pain of having to deal with all of this.’

Bieber announced the birth of his first child on August 23, and gave fans a glimpse of the baby’s tiny foot and wife Hailey’s hands.

‘WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER,’ the proud dad penned in the caption.

It came just weeks before Combs was accused of inducing female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, sometimes days-long sexual performances referred to as ‘Freak Offs.’

According to the indictment, he would allegedly use force, threats and coercion to get the women to engage with male sex workers in the ‘Freak Offs,’ described as ‘elaborate and produced sex performances’ arranged and directed by Combs while he masturbated and often recorded them.

The indictment further stated that some ‘Freak Offs’ would last for days, requiring Combs and victims to receive IV fluids to recover from the exertion and drug use.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to charges against him and was denied bail, despite his legal team’s request for him to be released for $50 million and kept electronically monitored.

Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said the ‘Freak Offs’ stemmed from the star’s former on-again-off-again relationship with R&B singer Cassie, and were not coercive.

Prosecutors said they had interviewed more than 50 victims and witnesses, and are expecting the number to grow.

Bieber was just a child when he forged a friendship with Combs, and the singer most recently featured on the rapper’s track Moment, which appeared on his 2023 album The Love Album: Off the Grid.

Following the album’s release last October, Bieber reflected on his first encounter with Combs.

‘I remember going to my brother Diddy’s office to pitch him a song I wrote for him when I was like 14,’ he wrote on Instagram. ‘Sadly the song was trash haha and it would be a hard no from him.’

He continued: ‘Fast forward to a few years ago Puff asked if I would freestyle something for his upcoming love album. Wild full circle moment, love you @diddy.’

The source added: ‘Diddy (seen in 2022) could not have happened at a worse time as he is trying to experience the joy of being a father with the pain of having to deal with all of this’

An insider previously revealed to DailyMail.com that Bieber deeply regrets having collaborated with the disgraced mogul last year, and would never have done so had he known the allegations that have since come to light.

They continued: ‘He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him.
