Justin Bieber appeared visibly gaunt as his wife, Hailey Bieber, protectively guided him out of a wedding anniversary dinner, raising concerns about his health. This sighting comes amid the unfolding shocking allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, further capturing public attention and speculation surrounding both celebrities.
Since Sean Combs’ arrest on September 16, additional shocking allegations have surfaced, including claims of abuse involving a nine-year-old.
On their anniversary, Justin and Hailey Bieber—who welcomed their first child together in August—dined at Baltaire Restaurant in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood. As they exited the venue, Hailey, 27, appeared protective of her husband, walking several feet ahead of him while flanked by their security team.
Hailey Bieber sported red-framed eyeglasses, with her blonde hair swept up in a claw clip. In contrast, Justin appeared stoic as he left the restaurant, donning black sunglasses and a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes.
Amid concerns from fans regarding his noticeably thinner appearance, the Baby hitmaker concealed his figure beneath a baggy black leather jacket, along with loose-fitting pants and sneakers. The couple was accompanied by several male security guards.
Justin Bieber did not publicly acknowledge his and Hailey’s wedding anniversary on social media on Monday. In contrast, Hailey celebrated the occasion by sharing throwback photos from their star-studded ceremony in South Carolina, which took place in 2019, a year after their initial marriage at an NYC courthouse on September 13, 2018.
Hailey posted images to her Instagram Story featuring herself in the wedding gown designed by the late Virgil Abloh, which she wore for their special day.
The off-the-shoulder wedding gown featured a long train adorned with pearl and lace accents, and it was highlighted by the slogan “Till Death Do Us Part” emblazoned on the veil. Hailey captioned her post, “Happy Birthday V, we miss you! Thank you for making me the most magical wedding dress.”
Justin and Hailey’s tense outing on Monday comes amid reports that the former child star is striving to distance himself from the escalating rumors regarding his association with Sean Combs, opting instead to concentrate on his role as a first-time dad.
Combs was arrested in New York on September 16 on charges of coercion and abuse. Following the indictment, Justin’s past close relationship with the rapper has been scrutinized, with resurfaced videos showing a 15-year-old Bieber spending “48 hours with Diddy” and partying together.
While Bieber has not publicly addressed the situation, fans have voiced concern over his noticeably thin appearance. Sources indicate to Newsafro.com that the singer feels isolated in navigating the Diddy revelations, stating he is “sailing these waters alone.”
Justin feels isolated, expressing that there is no one he can confide in who understands his situation, and candidly admits that he does not fully comprehend it himself, considering he was just a child at the time. The source elaborated that this fallout occurs amid his struggles to be a good parent, especially given the lack of a positive role model in his own father, Jeremy Bieber.
“Justin is stressed right now,” the insider remarked. “He has a baby boy and is trying to be a good dad without any reference for what a good father looks like.”
Addressing the fragile emotional state of the singer, the source noted, “He is sailing these waters alone, and there are concerns that if Hailey encounters difficulties as a first-time mom, it will only complicate matters for Justin.”
The timing of the Diddy allegations could not be worse, as Justin is attempting to embrace the joys of fatherhood while grappling with the pain of these revelations. Bieber announced the birth of his first child on August 23, sharing a glimpse of the baby’s tiny foot alongside Hailey’s hands with the caption, “WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER.” Hailey also shared the post on her Instagram Story, featuring their son’s name and various emojis.
This announcement came just weeks prior to the shocking allegations against Combs, who is accused of coercing female victims and male sex workers into drugged, often prolonged sexual performances termed “Freak Offs.” The indictment alleges that Combs used force, threats, and coercion to compel women to engage with male sex workers in these elaborate, directed sexual performances while he observed and recorded.
Moreover, it was reported that some “Freak Offs” would extend for days, necessitating both Combs and the victims to receive IV fluids to recover from the exertion and drug use.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and was denied bail, despite his legal team’s request for his release on a $50 million bond with electronic monitoring. Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, contended that the “Freak Offs” were a result of the star’s tumultuous relationship with R&B singer Cassie and asserted that they were not coercive.
Prosecutors stated that they have interviewed over 50 victims and witnesses, with expectations that this number will continue to rise.
