Hailey Bieber Might’ve Subtly Referenced the Justin Bieber and Diddy Controversy in Instagram Stories
Federal agents arrested hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Now, old videos of Combs and Justin Bieber are being brought to light. Justin spent time with Combs at 15 years old. His famous wife, Hailey Bieber, might’ve slyly referenced the current controversies in her Instagram Stories.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest has music and movie fans talking. Combs is one of the biggest names in the music industry, and he historically threw parties that involved hundreds of Hollywood A-listers. In light of his arrest, federal agents confiscated files of his alleged “freak-offs” — sex parties where Combs allegedly coerced women to partake in filmed sex acts under the influence of drugs.
Justin Bieber and Combs have a history. Combs filmed a video with Justin at his home when Justin was just 15. According to the video, Combs and Justin spent 48 hours together, and Combs wouldn’t disclose what they did when together. Later, Combs’ ex-bodyguard revealed that the hip-hop mogul and the up-and-coming star merely spent a few hours together at most.
Justin hasn’t spoken about his past time with Combs in light of Combs’ arrest. Hailey Bieber also hasn’t mentioned the controversy. However, on Monday, Oct. 7, Hailey posted a telling throwback photo of Justin. According to In Touch Weekly, the photo showed Justin with two middle fingers up while in Queensland, Australia. Hailey captioned the photo, “Mood.”
At the time the photo was taken, Justin had an angry response to the paparazzi after a cameraman for Channel 7 Australia asked Justin to say “hello” to fans. “F*** you! What’s wrong with you?” Justin yelled while throwing his middle fingers at the camera.
Justin Bieber is allegedly having issues with old videos of him and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Old videos of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Justin Bieber continue to resurface, bringing Justin into the conversation of Combs’ arrest.
“The last thing Justin wants to do is relive or even discuss his complicated friendship with Diddy,” an insider told In Touch Weekly. “But he’s finally breaking his silence to his friends about his nightmare experience and the private hell it’s caused him.”
The source added that Justin has “tried to be up-front about his demons and how he’s relied on therapy and his faith to get back on track.” However, he still has a hard time with the old clips “being dredged up.”
Justin chooses to not focus on Combs and instead keeps his mind on his “massively supportive” wife and their 1-month-old son.
It’s uncertain whether the younger pop star plans to speak out
Justin Bieber fans can’t say for sure whether he will choose to talk about his past time with Sean “Diddy” Combs. The source who spoke to In Touch Weekly said there’s a chance Bieber will choose to speak out if it could help others.
” … [I]f speaking about his past trauma can help others, he probably will,” the source said. “He wants to break the cycle, once and for all.”
Celebrities in connection to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ case might have to testify. Attorney Tony Buzbee spoke to TMZ Live regarding naming celebrities in the case connected to Combs’ “freak-offs.”
“But, we want to make sure that if we name individuals beyond Mr. Combs, that we make sure that we’ve done our homework, because it’s going to create a firestorm,” Buzbee explained. “We understand that. We’re going to make sure that we dot our I’s and cross our T’s.”
