Justin Bieber’s father-in-law, Stephen Baldwin, posted a message on TikTok after the controversial video involving Bieber and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was reposted. Baldwin told his 103,000 followers, ” Have you heard the saying ‘the calm before the storm… There’s always a calm before the storm… And then there’s another calm after the storm’ .” While he didn’t elaborate on what he meant, it coincided with the reposting of a video of Bieber and Diddy that caused concern online.
Footage showing a 15-year-old Bieber spending time with Diddy has been labeled “creepy” and “disturbing” by social media users. In the video, Diddy says, “ He spent 48 hours with Diddy… it was definitely a 15-year-old’s dream ,” while standing next to the young singer. Diddy, 54, was recently arrested in New York on federal sex trafficking charges, including coercion and abuse.
An insider told DailyMail.com that Bieber, now 30, was “devastated” by the news of Diddy’s arrest and has “isolated himself” from the world. The source added that Bieber regrets working with Diddy on his recent album and would not have done so had he known about the serious allegations.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested at a New York City hotel on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion, trafficking in persons by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
In the indictment unsealed, Sean “Diddy” Combs and members of his group including: senior supervisors, security officers, household staff and personal assistants are accused of organizing Freak Off (sex show) on more than one occasion.
During these sexual encounters, Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly “hit, threw objects, and pulled the victim’s hair,” and “physically and mentally abused them to force them to engage in maniacal behavior.” The artist’s attacks were described as “often causing injuries that took days or weeks to heal.”
“Combs controlled his victims through a variety of means, including physical violence, promises of employment opportunities, threats to cut off financial support, and other coercive measures, including monitoring their whereabouts and medical records, ordering victims to appear, and providing them with narcotics,” the indictment said.
In addition, through the investigation of the scene, authorities found a number of items in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mansion in March, including drugs, guns and more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant.
During a hearing in federal court in Lower Manhattan (USA) on September 17, the judge declared Sean “Diddy” Combs to be held without bail. If convicted, the male artist could face a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison.
