Did P. Diddy victimize 15-year-old Justin Bieber? Old video footage paints a gut-wrenching picture



Sean "Diddy" Combs, otherwise known as P. Diddy or Puff Daddy in the music industry, has been federally charged with a long list of crimes related to the criminal enterprise he both built and ran. His charges include sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

While Diddy was perhaps the head of the snake, he certainly isn’t the only celebrity who’s guilty of the sickening crimes that allegedly took place at the music mogul’s “freak offs.” In the wake of Combs’ arrest, many celebrities — people who were friends with him or attended his infamous parties — have started scrubbing their social media accounts. Usher is one of these individuals.

However, there are other celebrities who were caught up in Diddy’s web of debauchery not as accomplices but rather as victims — Diddy’s ex, singer Cassie Ventura, being the most notable.

But surely Cassie isn’t the only victim.

Sara Gonzales believes that there are likely multiple celebrities who were “victims of P. Diddy,” Justin Bieber being one of them.

When Bieber was a young teenager, he was discovered on YouTube and soon signed with Usher’s record label. He was quickly ushered into the industry and mentored by the “Yeah!” singer himself.

But who was Usher’s mentor? P. Diddy, of course, meaning Justin Bieber not only ran in the same circle as Diddy but was also mentored by him by default.

Sara plays a video clip from 2008 where P. Diddy claims to have “48-hour custody” of a 15-year-old Justin Bieber. They laugh about their plans to go “buck full crazy,” which included “getting some girls.”

In another clip from Bieber’s teen days, Diddy can be seen guilting Justin for “starting to act different” and avoiding contact with him.

“You ain't been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out,” Diddy said to a stuttering Bieber, who reluctantly offered up his personal phone number.

Sara calls the exchange “freaking weird” and “really creepy.”

“At just 15, Justin Bieber was attending Diddy's infamous parties” — “freak offs” — all of which “involved orgies and drugs,” she sighs.

However, Bieber didn’t just attend Diddy’s parties; some of Diddy’s parties were actually thrown in Justin’s honor.

Sara plays another clip of a birthday party Diddy threw for the young star, who can be seen chugging presumably alcohol and acting “intoxicated,” while somebody in the background yells, “Welcome to the family, Justin!”

The damage Diddy did to Justin Bieber is undeniable, but he certainly wasn’t the only one who made a victim out of the teen prodigy.

In a video montage Sara plays, several clips show a young Justin being groped, kissed, and touched and asked numerous questions that were sexual in nature — all by adults.

“This is just what these people were willing to do in broad daylight in front of a f****** camera. What happened when the camera's turned off?” asks Sara, who, as a mother, is sickened at the victimization of Justin Bieber.

“You can have fame; you can have money; you can have girls; you can have whatever you want. Here's everything on a silver platter, but you gotta play the game,” is the toxic message Sara says young Justin received.

Did Diddy prey on a young Justin Bieber?



Justin Bieber’s life, for all its glittering success, is a story of tragedy — a cautionary tale of a simple kid thrust into a world of sadistic sleaze. At the age of 13, the Canadian artist burst onto the scene with “Baby." A fitting title if there ever was one.

In Bieber’s case, the transformation was shocking. His once-wholesome image was replaced by tattoos, addiction, depression, and erratic behavior.

You see, Bieber was just that — a baby surrounded by child predators. The entertainment industry, often seen as a glamorous playground, has repeatedly failed to protect its youngest stars. This isn’t a glitch in the system; it’s how the system operates. The entertainment industry is a breeding ground for manipulation, abuse, and exploitation.

It's a place where innocence goes to die.

Recently, Bieber, now 30, has faced some criticism (most notably from Maureen Callahan and Megyn Kelly) for not commenting on the arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs. While Kelly questioned why Bieber has not spoken out, Candace Owens took the conversation in a much darker direction.

What did Diddy do?

In a recent episode of her show, titled "What Did Diddy Do to Justin Bieber?" Owens raised unsettling questions about the disgraced music mogul's interactions with Bieber when he was just 16.

While Owens has a taste for the sensational, her points deserve attention, especially given the context. She referred to footage of Bieber, apparently under the influence, at one of Diddy’s infamous parties and asked whether inappropriate behavior may have occurred. "Justin Bieber is not sober," Owens said. "He is clearly very under the influence at this party. ... Diddy may have done some inappropriate things with him."

He may have. Then again, the lube-loving lecher may not have. But this is Hollywood we are talking about, a place where young stars are routinely deceived, defiled, and discarded by those who make and break careers.

In Bieber’s case, the transformation was shocking. His once-wholesome image was replaced by tattoos, addiction, depression, and erratic behavior. While the world pointed fingers at his antics, few paused to ask how this teen found himself in such a dark place so quickly.

Bieber's story is hardly unique. It's very rare to find a child star who isn't damaged in some way. Britney Spears didn't just start dancing with knives out of nowhere.

Predator’s paradise

HBO’s 2020 documentary "Showbiz Kids" presented firsthand accounts of former child stars who described the emotional, physical, and sexual exploitation they endured. Todd Bridges, famous for his role on "Diff’rent Strokes," recounted his own experience of being molested as a child actor. Similarly, Evan Rachel Wood openly discussed how children in Hollywood are routinely subjected to various forms of abuse, including sexual exploitation.

More recently, the docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" exposed the toxic, destructive culture that child actors faced while working on Nickelodeon shows. Drake Bell, former star of Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show" and "Drake and Josh," disclosed that dialogue coach Brian Peck had sexually assaulted him. In 2003, Peck was sentenced to 16 months in prison and required to register as a sex offender. Bell, whose identity was kept confidential at the time, described Nickelodeon as a “factory” that treated child actors as “expendable.”

Corey Feldman, perhaps one of the most tragic figures to emerge from the 1980s child star circuit, has been vocal for years about the pervasive problem of pedophilia in Hollywood. Feldman, who was sexually abused as a boy, told the Guardian in 2020 that "the biggest problem in Hollywood is pedophilia.” He emphasized how children, lured by the promise of fame and fortune, often find themselves caught in a web of coercion by powerful figures who go unpunished for years. For young men, it can be especially difficult to discuss abuse, particularly when the majority of the perpetrators are other men (a fact that Megyn Kelly, to her credit, acknowledged).

Watching Feldman perform with his rock band today might prompt some to snicker, but what you are witnessing is the struggle of a grown man whose innocence was stolen at an early age. This is tragedy playing out, not comedy.

Empathy, not enmity

This brings us back to Justin Bieber, whose body is now a canvas for over 70 tattoos. Many studies have shown a significant link between trauma and an obsession with tattooing, suggesting that individuals may turn to body art as a form of coping or expression. His well-documented struggles with addiction and various mental health issues reveal a painful journey marked by existential obstacles. It wasn’t until the singer found solace in faith, embraced the power of prayer, and married Hailey Baldwin, daughter of Baldwin family oddball Stephen, that he began to heal.

The question we should be asking isn’t why Bieber has remained silent on certain issues but whether he’s okay. As he stated in "Lonely," a song released a few years ago:

“And everybody saw me sick / And it felt like no one gave a s**t / They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid.”

“What if you had it all / And it felt like nobody to call? Maybe then you'd know me / 'Cause I've had everything / But no one's listening / And that's just lonely. I'm so lonely. Lonely.”

Even if Diddy didn’t molest him, Bieber is a survivor. He deserves grace. His life has been a roller coaster — full of exploitation, despair, and drug abuse, but also fortitude, faith, and redemption. The industry failed to offer him protection. And yet somehow, despite everything, Justin Bieber is still standing.

Whitlock called it: Diddy is the Jeffrey Epstein of the music industry



It gives a whole new meaning to "Bad Boy for Life."

Sean “Diddy” Combs may be adding a new moniker to his lengthy roster of aliases: the eight-digit number assigned to inmates in the federal prison system.

The rap impresario's recent indictment on sex trafficking and racketeering charges has sent shockwaves through the industry, lending credence to Blaze Media commentator Jason Whitlock's speculation that Diddy is the Jeffrey Epstein of the music biz.

After leaving office, Barack Obama was spotted hanging out with Diddy. What were the two men up to — and did it have anything to do with the 1,000 bottles of baby oil the feds seized from the latter's mansion?

Arrested on serious federal charges, the 54-year-old has been denied bail and is currently in solitary confinement at the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. This high-security unit is known for housing dangerous and high-profile inmates like R. Kelly, a man Diddy knows very well, disgraced crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried, and Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand woman.

The indictment accuses the once-untouchable mogul of running a “criminal enterprise” through his vast business empire, with allegations spanning sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Prosecutors argue that Diddy’s continued freedom jeopardizes the integrity of the case, pointing to his previous attempts to contact victims and witnesses as evidence. His legal team will appeal the bail denial before U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Carter. If the appeal fails, Diddy will remain behind bars.

And, many would argue, this is probably where he deserves to be.

Diddy’s dudes

Diddy’s ties to powerful figures in Hollywood and politics are strikingly similar to Jeffrey Epstein’s network. Whereas Epstein had a "thing" for young girls, Diddy appears to have one for young boys — specifically, up-and-coming young talent in the music industry.

www.youtube.com

For example, the resurfacing of disturbing videos showing a 15-year-old Justin Bieber speaking with Diddy raises some very serious questions. In the footage, Diddy can be heard stating, "Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we really can’t disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream."

Or nightmare.

The 2016 Howard Stern interview with Usher revealed unsettling details about his experience living with Diddy at just 14 years old. Why, one wonders, was a 14-year-old boy residing with a grown man with no ties to his family?

Diddy’s vast network includes high-profile names like Will Smith and Ashton Kutcher, both of whom have also faced controversy in recent times. As you no doubt recall, Smith’s public image was severely damaged when he assaulted Chris Rock at the Oscars. As for Kutcher, his extremely close friendship with Danny Masterson, a Scientology nut and convicted rapist, has drawn widespread criticism and damaged his own reputation.

Then there’s Cuba Gooding Jr. Remember him? Once a Hollywood powerhouse, the actor is best known for his performances in films like "A Few Good Men" and "Jerry Maguire," where he delivered the iconic, "Show me the money!" line. Subsequent roles in "Men of Honor" and "Pearl Harbor" further solidified his status as a leading man — on screen and, it seems, in Mr. Diddy’s life.

In a recent interview with Patrick Bet-David, Gooding Jr. appeared visibly uncomfortable and evasive when questioned about the allegations surrounding the music man. His response was a jittery mess of mumbling and evasion, leading YouTube commenters to speculate that Gooding Jr. might be hiding more about the alleged criminal activities than he’s letting on. His reluctance to offer clear answers has sparked rumors about possible connections to Diddy and whether fear or complicity is driving his silence.

Diddy's diary

Much like Epstein’s infamous black book, Diddy’s Rolodex was supposedly packed with high-profile names. As the New York Post reported, he forged partnerships with billionaire investor Ron Burkle and hedge fund titan Ray Dalio. Diddy’s fashion line hit Macy’s and Dillard’s, and he took major business strides with stakes in Revolt TV and beverage giant Diageo, a collaboration with Estée Lauder heir William Lauder, and he made deals with Zac Posen and Liz Claiborne. He also launched a water brand with Mark Wahlberg and partnered with Marc Benioff of Salesforce to build a marketplace for black-owned businesses.

In the early 2000s, Diddy made a bold move by cold-emailing then-Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, pitching his idea to design the team’s uniforms. Diddy's gamble paid off, linking his Sean John line with a major sports team. Cuban, known for his nonstop, left-leaning diatribes, has been unusually tight-lipped about this Diddy connection.

But, as always, there’s more.

Diddy's danger?

After leaving office, Barack Obama was spotted hanging out with Diddy. What were the two men up to — and did it have anything to do with the 1,000 bottles of baby oil the feds seized from the latter's mansion?

What we do know, however, is that Diddy didn’t act alone. He was, up until very recently, actively engaged with a network of influential figures. Like Epstein, Diddy built connections with high-profile individuals to protect his own nefarious activities. The multimillionaire's annual White Party, a magnet for the elite of American culture over the past 20-something years, only reinforced his image of invincibility.

Now, it remains to be seen whether Diddy will reveal his accomplices or follow in Epstein’s footsteps, conveniently suiciding himself before he can incriminate anyone truly powerful.

To quote Diddy's one-time protégé Shyne, who recently claimed he was his boss' "fall guy" in the 1999 nightclub shooting that landed him 10 years in lock-up: "Whatcha gonna do when s**t hits the fan, take it like a man or snitch like a b***h?"

Justin Bieber postponed tour dates after the left side of his face becomes paralyzed



Pop music icon Justin Bieber recently revealed that he has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare disorder that has left the right side of his face paralyzed.

The singer took to social media to explain what was going on and why he decided to postpone some of the recent dates on his latest tour.

Speaking to his fans in a prerecorded video, Bieber said, “Hey everyone, Justin here. I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on. Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear, my facial nerves, and it is causing my face to have paralysis.”

The singer noted that his right is eye unable to blink and that he currently only has partial control over his facial muscles.

Bieber indicated that the right side of his face has “full paralysis.”

He said, “This nostril will not move, so there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”

The singer also indicated that he postponed recent and upcoming shows because he “physically” is not capable of performing for crowds in his current condition.

Bieber said, “For those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but obviously, my body is telling me I gotta slow down.”

He also made clear that his prerogative is to get better quickly so that he can get back to performing.

Bieber said, “I hope you guys understand … I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to 100% so I can do what I was born to do, but in the meantime, this ain’t it. I gotta go get my rest on so I can get my face back to where it’s supposed to be. I love you guys; thanks for being patient with me. I’m going to get better. I’m doing all these facial exercises to get my face back to normal.”

Bieber also assured his fans that the condition would pass but that he was unclear how long it would take to make a full recovery. “It will go back to normal … we don’t know how much time it’s gonna be, but it’s going to be okay.

“I trust God, and I trust that this is all for a reason, and I’m not sure what that is right now, but in the meantime, I’m gonna rest, and I love you guys,” Bieber said.

Justin Bieber under fire for cultural appropriation and racial insensitivity — because of his latest hairstyle



Performer Justin Bieber is under fire for his latest hairstyle: dreadlocks.

What are the details?

Bieber, who debuted the new look Monday on Instagram, took flak for the hairstyle after many people said that he was guilty of cultural appropriation and racial insensitivity by wearing the hairstyle.

According to USA Today, Bieber has previously said that he's "very influenced by black culture," but many social media users weren't happy with his new look.

One user, as highlighted by the outlet, wrote, "Listen @justinbieber I don't care how long I've liked you, this is cultural appropriation and i don't like it."

Another added, "Justin how are you gonna preach that you're an advocate for black people and then keep appropriating them? Makes sense buddy."

now why did justin bieber get dreadlocks and why does he keep getting a pass https://t.co/lTis4w2J7X

A third user said, "Justin Bieber is wearing locs right now. I don't like it because black folks who were locs are still discriminated in the workplace for wearing hair that comes natural to them. There are laws that exist that actually prohibit."

The 27-year-old artist released his sixth studio album, "Justice," in March.

In June, Bieber admitted on social media that his "style," as well as how he sings, dances, performs, and dresses "have all been influenced and inspired by black culture."

"I am committed to using my platform this day forward to learn, to speak up about racial injustice and systemic oppression, and to identify ways to be a part of much needed change," he said on Instagram at the time.

What did some professionals say?

On Wednesday, The Guardian reported that Stephanie Cohen, co-founder and legal and political organizer at Halo Collective — which is a natural hair organization, according to the outlet — said, "When I see a white person in mainstream media sporting a black hairstyle, it makes me angry. I'm angry because this standard does not exist when a black person simply wears their hair in this way. You can't just wear something so historically significant and ignore the struggles behind what the hairstyle purports."

Cohen added that the performer had "no right" to wear dreadlocks or any other typically ethnic hairstyle because he is white.

“My reasoning and understanding of someone wearing something not specific to their culture or ethnicity is that if they cannot speak for black or minority rights [and] be a consistent ally — then they have no right to wear something like locs," Cohen said.

Irene Shelley, who is editor of Black Beauty and Hair magazine, added, “I think why people are annoyed with Justin Bieber casually wearing locs is that it's seen as not respecting the origins of the style."

"People still face hair discrimination and stigma for their hair choice," Shelley added. "You can face discrimination by your employer or school. [Bieber] is seen as a dilettante, a person who's dipping his toe in the culture, without any real commitment or knowledge of the style's history."

Anything else to know?

As highlighted by Billboard, Bieber faced similar criticism in 2016 after wearing the controversial hairstyle.

At that time, Bieber responded to backlash in a social media video by saying, "'Dude you gonna do anything with your hair, or are you just gonna leave it like that, dude?' Yeah, some girl came up to me and she was like, 'I love you, Justin, but like, that's like my least favorite hairstyle of yours.'"

He captioned the video, "Being weird is fun' if u r not weird I don't like you."
