Justin Bieber speaks out on Diddy’s ‘freak offs,’ clarifies he was not the disgraced rapper’s ‘victim’

Justin Bieber’s personal life has been a source of speculation over the past few months — more so than usual. He’s mostly chosen to stay silent about the rumors swirling around him, but he made an exception when it came to Diddy.

When Diddy was first accused of sex trafficking, everyone in his circle came under suspicion of either knowing what was happening or being involved in some way. Some celebrities were rumored to be co-conspirators. Others were believed to be victims. A resurfaced video of a then-15-year-old Justin Bieber with Diddy raised eyebrows. Bieber looked visibly uncomfortable while Diddy made unsettling remarks about how hanging out with him was “a 15-year-old’s dream.” In hindsight, it plays differently — disturbingly so. We now know that some of Diddy’s accusers were underage when he allegedly trafficked them. Hopefully they, too, will get the justice they deserve.
