Justin Bieber has released a statement about Diddy speculation

[Teletubby 148,426]

Bieber's rep has now released a statement to confirm that he was NOT one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's victims.

“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” the spokesperson said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

“Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve,” the rep added.

Explain their relationship then

I think this probably isn't the truth. But I honestly wouldn't blame him for not wanting to bring up horrible memories by talking about it all if he was a victim.

Why? Justin's committed no crime and if he doesn't want to speak about his potential victimhood it's not our place to pry into his experiences.

Why could it not be the truth? Not every relationship Diddy has was connected to his crimes. 

You all gotta realize that the reason people like Diddy and Weinstein and Epstein were able to so successfully do what they did is they made themselves legitimate figures in the entertainment industry.

They had legitimate contacts and legitimate professional relationships. That is why many never questioned (or would dare to do so) what they did privately. 

It is perfectly possible that his relationship with Justin was purely a professional one and was one of the many relationships that provided a cover for his other, salacious ones. 

Just as we should respect people when they say they are a victim, we should respect them when they say that they aren’t. If he was in reality a victim, he has no obligation to state so publicly. But if he publicly states he isn’t one, then he is owed the respect of not questioning him. We are not his friends we are not his family, it is not our place to doubt.

Justin didn’t release a statement. His team did.

That's a fair point.

Why do people absolutely want Justin to be part of that story? It all sounds like fan fiction tbh

A PR rep is NOT a source of truth...and is NOT Justin Bieber...misleading title

I mean, do you seriously think his PR team is releasing statements without his consent?

tbh after what Britney experienced with her team and her family, I wouldn't dismiss this possibility. and judging by his recent videos, he doesn't look like in the right mind to give or not to give a consent
