As his former close buddy Sean “Diddy” Combs confronts criminal accusations of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault, abuse, 𝓈ℯ𝓍 trafficking, and other horrifying claims, Justin Bieber is apparently having mental health issues.

“Justin is going through a difficult time mentally right now,” an insider told Us Weekly on Wednesday. “It’s been difficult to digest the accusations against him because of his lengthy history with Diddy.”

Justin Bieber is reportedly having a hard time processing the claims against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The site was informed by a different insider that the 30-year-old singer of “Peaches” is “completely disgusted” by Combs’ controversy and has been “advised” to “stay as far away as possible” from anything connected to it.

We requested a remark from his representative, but we did not receive a response right away.

When Bieber was a teenager, Combs and Bieber were close friends.

Recently, Bieber was spotted in public looking dejected. The “Lonely” singer was seen by alone last Friday as she left Los Angeles’s Chateau Marmont, a popular celebrity hangout. He was sitting behind the wheel of his car when he was snapped, a serious and thoughtful expression on his face.

But according to a third source who spoke with Us Weekly on Wednesday, Bieber is more preoccupied with the good things in life, such as raising his infant son Jack alongside wife Hailey Bieber.

“His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy,” the insider said before reiterating that the pop star wants “nothing to do” with Combs’ issues.

“It’s in his past, and that’s where he wants to leave it,” the third source reportedly said.

A source claimed to Us Weekly that Bieber is in “a hard place mentally” at the moment.

Bieber was photographed on Oct. 3 looking very somber.

Despite Bieber allegedly wanting to distance himself from Combs, his name has been brought up on numerous occasions due to his previous friendship with the “Last Night” rapper when he was just a teen.

In March, an old YouTube video about his “48 hours with Diddy” resurfaced online.

“Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” Combs said of spending time with the then-teenaged pop star in the clip.

“We gonna go full buck full crazy,” the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper added at the time.

Combs’ tight-knit bond with Bieber has raised eyebrows given the former’s 𝓈ℯ𝓍 crimes scandal.

Combs has been accused of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually assaulting 25 minors.

That same month, a second clip showing a once-again young Bieber visibly uncomfortable when Combs confronted him on why they don’t hang out “the way [they] used to” also resurfaced.

“You tried to get in contact with me throughout all my [partners] and what not — but you never got my number, so want my number?” the “Baby” singer responded during the awkward interaction.

Most recently, a third clip of Combs warning Bieber that he “knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff” while on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2011 also raised eyebrows.

A resurfaced clip of Combs and Bieber on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2011 also sparked concerns.

Combs said during the live TV segment that Bieber “knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff.”

Following a federal investigation that included searches on his properties in Miami and Los Angeles, the troubled music tycoon was charged with 𝓈ℯ𝓍 trafficking, racketeering, fraud or coercion, and transportation of a prostitute.

In addition, he is charged with 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually abusing twenty-five youngsters, one of whom was nine years old at the time. Furthermore, a 𝓈ℯ𝓍 tape purportedly featuring Combs, 54, and a male celebrity “more high profile” than him is being circulated. The anonymous star is “horrified” by the prospect of the video being made public, a source told The Post last week. “It feels like a betrayal and a violation, and it’s causing a lot of issues,” the source continued.

“It brings up some really disturbing and bad memories,” the source continued.

A 𝓈ℯ𝓍 tape of Combs with a high profile male celeb is reportedly being shopped around.

Bieber has not been identified as the other individual in the alleged 𝓈ℯ𝓍 tape with Combs.

“He feels like he was victimized years ago and is now being victimized yet again. If this footage gets out, it will follow him for life. It will be on the internet forever.”

Combs has claimed he is innocent and has denied any wrongdoing. His mother, Janice Small Combs, recently called her son’s scandal a “public lynching.”

“My son is not the monster they have painted him to be, and he deserves the chance to tell his side,” she said in a statement over the weekend. “I can only pray that I am alive to see him speak his truth and be vindicated.”

Bieber has reportedly been advised to try and distance himself from Combs’ scandal.

“His happiness as a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy,” the person continued.

Diddy is incarcerated pending his trial at this time. Earlier this week, he filed an additional plea to be released from prison in spite of multiple rejections. We requested a remark from his representatives, but we did not receive a response right away.
