Justin Bieber has reportedly lost confidence in a close circle and isolated himself from some.
According to reports, the pop star is also being haunted by the ghost of his past amid the interest around him in the wake of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest.
In recent appearances, the new dad has also been spotted looking sober, seemingly suggesting he might be dealing with a lot.
He has yet to publicly address Diddy’s arrest and sex charges despite their past cordial relationship and the resurfaced videos of him with the embattled rapper.
Sources close to Bieber have shared that the singer no longer trusts his close pals and acquaintances and has isolated himself from some of them.
The singer’s issues are said to be connected to his being haunted by the ghost of his past, which were linked to some of the “stupid sh-t” he engaged in as a rising teen sensation.
“He was a teenager. He was the biggest pop star in the world. Everyone was worried about him, and we didn’t know if he would survive it. People took advantage of everything he did,” an insider told Page Six about Bieber’s past.
According to another source, Bieber appears to be distancing himself from his inner circle because he feels they didn’t do enough to protect him.
“Justin’s done some really crazy s–t and he’s alienated the people around him. He doesn’t trust them,” the insider shared.
