Justin Bieber Issues Rare Statement Denying Rumors Of Abuse By Sean Combs

A representative for Justin Bieber issued a public statement on Friday (May 16) refuting online rumors by denying that the singer was ever abused by Sean Combs. “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” reads the statement. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.” The rumors of Combs’ abuse of Bieber stem from resurfaced videos featuring the disgraced music mogul and the then-teenage singer. “Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” Combs said in one clip. “For the next 48 hours, he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full buck, full crazy.” As for Combs’ ongoing trial, his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura finished four grueling days of testimony on Friday (May 16), where she shared graphic details about the abuse she suffered by Combs over the course of a decade.
