Justin Bieber Not Interested in Commenting on Diddy's Arrest or Case

Justin Bieber is concentrating on his family life.

In light of the recent arrest of his friend and collaborator Sean "Diddy" Combs, a source has informed PEOPLE that the 30-year-old musician is prioritizing time with his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their newborn son, Jack Blues, whose arrival was announced last month.

“He knows about Diddy’s arrest and the surrounding allegations,” the insider revealed, referencing the rapper's arrest on September 16 related to serious charges including sex trafficking and sexual assault.

“However, this is not something he wishes to dwell on,” the source added regarding Justin's perspective.

The insider emphasized that the “Peaches” singer has been in a state of happiness since the birth of baby Jack. “He is focused on being a wonderful dad and husband,” they noted.

Diddy was apprehended at a hotel in New York City after being indicted by a grand jury. Following his arrest, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams announced that Diddy had been taken into custody based on a sealed indictment that was later unsealed, revealing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.

At the time of Diddy's arrest, his attorney stated that Diddy is "an innocent man with nothing to hide," expressing disappointment over what they consider an unjust prosecution.

Justin announced the birth of his son with Hailey on August 23, sharing a photo of the baby's foot on Instagram with the caption: "WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER." A close source mentioned that both Justin and Hailey are “overjoyed” to be first-time parents, describing their baby as “a miracle” and highlighting how much they had hoped for this pregnancy.

“The day they learned about Hailey's pregnancy was incredibly special for Justin; he was filled with joy and they celebrated,” the source shared, adding that “Justin is already proving to be a great dad.”

Background

Arrest and Indictment: Combs was arrested in New York after months of civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and rape. The indictment was unsealed shortly after his arrest, revealing the federal charges against him.

Allegations: The indictment alleges that Combs and his associates coerced and abused women to fulfill his sexual desires, which reportedly included forcing victims into recorded sexual activities termed "Freak Offs." This term refers to elaborate sex parties where drugs were allegedly used to facilitate these acts.

Specific Charges

Sex Trafficking: Combs is accused of running a criminal enterprise involving his associates and employees to control and exploit female victims. The charges include sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Criminal Enterprise: The indictment suggests that Combs orchestrated extravagant parties involving drug distribution and the transportation of sex workers across state lines. It also details instances where threats were made against women who were compelled to participate in these events.

Legal Proceedings

Bail Denial: Following his arrest, a federal judge denied Combs bail due to the severity of the charges, which could lead to a life sentence if he is convicted. He is currently being held in a Special Housing Unit at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Defense Claims: Combs' attorney has maintained that he is innocent and has cooperated with authorities throughout the investigation. They argue that the allegations are unfounded and describe the prosecution as unjust.

Civil Lawsuits

In addition to the criminal charges, Combs has been facing various civil lawsuits over the past year related to sexual misconduct. These lawsuits have contributed to the scrutiny surrounding his actions and reputation within the industry.

Notable Incidents

Past Allegations: The case also revisits earlier allegations against Combs, including a 2016 incident captured on video where he appeared to assault a woman in a hotel hallway. This footage has been cited as evidence of his violent behavior towards women.

Current Status

As the legal proceedings unfold, Diddy remains in custody while awaiting trial. His legal team continues to prepare for what is expected to be a complex case involving multiple witnesses and significant media attention.
