Justin Bieber seen looking somber as he tries to distance himself from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs rumors

Justin Bieber was seen in Los Angeles Friday night looking pensive and downcast as his name continues to be dragged into Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex crimes scandal.

The pop star, 30, was photographed in his car as he was leaving celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont solo.

He was dressed in a white hoodie and a matching white and red patterned scarf around his head.

Bieber appeared in deep thought with a stern look on his face as he sat behind the steering wheel.

The “Lonely” singer’s past friendship with Combs, 54, when he was just a teen has become a hot topic given that the latter has been accused of sexually assaulting several people, including 25 minors.

Over the past few months, clips of Bieber engaging with the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper in questionable conversations have resurfaced online.

In March, for instance, an old YouTube video the “Yummy” singer previously shared showed him spending 48 hours with Combs when he was just 15 years old.

The “Tell Me” rapper says in a part of the clip, “Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” which many have dubbed a “creepy” due to its secrecy.

A second “disturbing” video also surfaced, showing Bieber visibly uncomfortable when Combs asks him, “Starting to act different, huh? You haven’t been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out.”

The “Baby” singer awkwardly responded to the mogul at the time, “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?”

Most recently, a 2011 “Jimmy Kimmel Live” segment, in which both Bieber and Combs were guests, surfaced, showing the two entertainers talking about their close bond.

In the clip, when Bieber claims Combs promised to buy him a Lamborghini, the former Bad Boy Records exec warns, “He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. … Everything ain’t for everybody.”

A rep for Bieber has said that the “Ghost” singer — who married Hailey Bieber in 2018 and welcomed his first child, Jack, with her in August — is “aware of Diddy’s arrest and all the allegations,” but “just wants to focus on being a great dad and husband.”

The Grammy winner’s name, however, continues to get brought up as there are rumors that there is a sex tape of Combs being shopped around with an A-list celeb that is even “more high profile” than the rap star.

A source told The Post Friday that the unnamed male celebrity is “horrified” over the fact that the footage may be released, adding that the situation has been a “total nightmare” and “triggering” for that person.

“It feels like a betrayal and a violation, and it’s causing a lot of issues,” the insider added. “It brings up some really disturbing and bad memories.

“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, meanwhile, is awaiting his day in court behind bars. He has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting a prostitute, but denied any wrongdoing. He possibly faces life in prison.
