Light up:Justin Bieber And Hailey Spotted Leaving LA Restaurant

Published

Justin Bieber looked gaunt and tense on Monday night as he and his wife Hailey Bieber celebrated the fifth anniversary of their 2019 wedding, Daily Mail reports.

The sighting comes amid fears for the 30-year-old singer’s, health as rumors continue to circulate about his once close relationship with disgraced rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 54, according to the report by Daily Mail.

Combs is currently sitting in a New York City jail after being arrested on sex trafficking charges last month.

Since the September 16 arrest, more shocking allegations have been made against Combs, including the alleged abuse of a nine-year-old.
For their anniversary, Justin Bieber and Hailey — who welcomed their first child together in August — dined at Baltaire Restaurant in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood.

As they exited the restaurant, Hailey, 27, appeared protective of her spouse as she walked several feet in front of him while their security remained in tow.

Instead of her typical glamorous style, the Rhode skincare CEO, 27, kept it low-key for their dinner in an oversized beige sweater, jeans and black loafers.
She had on red-framed eyeglasses and her blonde hair was swept up in a claw clip.

Justin looked stoic as he emerged from the restaurant wearing black sunglasses and a baseball cap low over his eyes.

In wake of fans calling out his noticeably thinner appearance, the Baby hitmaker hid his body under a baggy black leather jacket, pants and sneakers.

The couple were accompanied by several male security guards.

Justin Bieber did not publicly acknowledge his and Hailey’s wedding anniversary on social media on Monday.
Meanwhile, Hailey paid tribute to the milestone by sharing throwback photos from their 2019 nuptials in South Carolina.

The star-studded ceremony was held one year after they’d tied the knot in an NYC courthouse on September 13, 2018.
Hailey uploaded photos to her Instagram Story of herself wearing the wedding gown that the late designer Virgil Abloh designed for her special day.

Instead of her typical glamorous style, Hailey, 27, kept it low-key for their dinner date in an oversized beige sweater.

The off-the-shoulder number featured a long train and was notable for its its pearl and lace touches with the slogan ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ emblazoned on the veil.

‘Happy Birthday V, we miss you! Thank you for making me the most magical wedding dress,’ Hailey captioned the post.

Justin Bieber and Hailey’s tense outing on Monday comes amid reports that the former child star is determined to block out growing rumors about his connection with Combs, choosing instead to focus 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 come under scrutiny, with resurfaced videos showing a 15-year-old Bieber spending ’48 hours with Diddy’ and partying together.

Bieber hasn’t addressed the situation publicly, but fans have expressed concern about his noticeably ‘thin’ appearance.

Now sources tell DailyMail that the singer feels he has no one to talk to about the Diddy revelations and is ‘sailing these waters alone.’

‘Justin feels like there is no one that he can talk to that understands and, to be honest, he doesn’t even fully understand,’ the insider explained. ‘He was a kid.’

The source added that the fallout comes amid his current struggles to try and be a good parent having not had the best example from his own father, Jeremy Bieber.

‘Justin is stressed right now,’ the insider continued. ‘He has a baby boy and trying to be a good dad without having anything to reference what a good father is.’

Speaking to the fragile singer’s emotional state, the source added: ‘He is sailing these waters alone and everyone fears that if Hailey shows any struggles with being a first time mom then this is going to be incredibly difficult for Justin.

‘Diddy could not have happened at a worse time as he is trying to experience the joy of being a father with the pain of having to deal with all of this.’

Bieber announced the birth of his first child on August 23, and gave fans a glimpse of the baby’s tiny foot and wife Hailey’s hands.

‘WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER,’ the proud dad penned in the caption.

The former Victoria’s Secret model also shared the post on her Instagram Story with the youngster’s name and various emojis.

It came just weeks before Combs was accused of inducing female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, sometimes days-long sexual performances referred to as ‘Freak Offs.’

According to the indictment, he would allegedly use force, threats and coercion to get the women to engage with male sex workers in the ‘Freak Offs,’ described as ‘elaborate and produced sex performances’ arranged and directed by Combs while he masturbated and often recorded them.

The indictment further stated that some ‘Freak Offs’ would last for days, requiring Combs and victims to receive IV fluids to recover from the exertion and drug use.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to charges against him and was denied bail, despite his legal team’s request for him to be released for $50 million and kept electronically monitored.

Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said the ‘Freak Offs’ stemmed from the star’s former on-again-off-again relationship with R&B singer Cassie, and were not coercive.

Prosecutors said they had interviewed more than 50 victims and witnesses, and are expecting the number to grow.

Bieber was just a child when he forged a friendship with Combs, and the singer most recently featured on the rapper’s track Moment, which appeared on his 2023 album The Love Album: Off the Grid.

Following the album’s release last October, Bieber reflected on his first encounter with Combs.

‘I remember going to my brother Diddy’s office to pitch him a song I wrote for him when I was like 14,’ he wrote on Instagram. ‘Sadly the song was trash haha and it would be a hard no from him.’

He continued: ‘Fast forward to a few years ago Puff asked if I would freestyle something for his upcoming love album. Wild full circle moment, love you @diddy.’

An insider previously revealed to DailyMail that Justin Bieber deeply regrets having collaborated with the disgraced mogul last year, and would never have done so had he known the allegations that have since come to light.

They continued: ‘He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him.

‘He was featured on Diddy’s most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it.’

In March, old clips of Bieber and Combs resurfaced shortly after Homeland Security raided the music mogul’s properties in Miami and Los Angeles.

One video saw Combs standing next to the young pop sensation, aged 15, while telling the camera: ‘He’s having 48 hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose.

‘But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.’
The hip hop star added: ‘I have been given custody of him. He’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album.

‘I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next forty-eight hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.’

Bieber, wearing a black baseball cap and purple shirt smiles and looks up at Combs throughout the video, making small comments such as ‘yeah’ and ‘full crazy.’
The video was posted to social media and triggered an outpouring of criticism and concern.
Another resurfaced clip saw the rapper grilling a 16-year-old Bieber on why he hadn’t been speaking to him as much.

‘What’s up man, you good? Selling out arenas and everything?’ Combs asked the youngster.

‘Starting to act different, huh? You haven’t been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out.’

Justin Bieber appeared anxious as he responded to his musical colleague.

‘I mean you tried to get in contact with me throughout all my… and what not… but you never got my number,’ he said. ‘I’m going to tell you my number.’

Another insider previously revealed to DailyMail that Justin Bieber has been completely ‘thrown’ by the harrowing allegations and is grappling to make sense of them – especially given that he collaborated with Combs less than a year ago.

The source said of the fragile singer: ‘Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off.

‘So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him.

‘Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to.’

Since his September 16 arrest, more individuals have come forward to accuse Combs of abuse and sexual assault.

On Tuesday, Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee announced that he is representing 120 new people who were allegedly victimized by Combs over a span of 25 years.

He believes the accusers have legitimate cases against the rapper-turned-media mogul and said that he plans to file lawsuits in several states over the next 30 days.

Of the 120 new victims, 25 were underage when the alleged abuse happened between 1991 and as recently as this year, Buzbee revealed.

The youngest victims were 9, 14, 15 when they were victimized, the high-profile lawyer announced at a press conference in Houston Tuesday.

‘This individual, who was 9 years old at the time, was taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records,’ the attorney disclosed.

‘This individual was sexually abused allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio in the promise to both his parents and to him himself of getting a record deal.’

Combs founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, the label that launched the careers of Notorious B.I.G., French Montana and Machine Gun Kelly.

‘Other boys were there to audition as well,’ Buzbee stated. ‘All of them were trying to land a record deal. All of them were minors.’

Diddy’s legal team reacted to the new allegations shortly after Buzbee went public.

‘Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,’ Combs’ lawyer Erica Wolff told DailyMail.com.

‘He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.’

Buzbee also alleges that half the plaintiffs are male and that most of the alleged assaults took place in New York, California, Georgia and Florida.

In the same press conference, Buzbee claimed that a list of Combs’ alleged accomplices will soon be released and said that it includes ‘shocking’ household names.

The attorney pledged to reveal the names at a later date.
