Justin Bieber has finally addressed years of rumors suggesting he was sexually abused by Sean "Diddy" Combs. He expressed support for the victims to receive justice.
PR experts believe Bieber's move is a calculated media strategy. It aims to reclaim his power and position him as an ally.
Bieber's spokesperson stated that while he is not a victim of Diddy, others were genuinely harmed. Shifting focus away from this detracts from their justice.
Media experts suggest Bieber's timing is strategic, given Diddy's trial on sex trafficking charges. PR expert Chad Teixeira called it a moment of "calculated authenticity."
Teixeira explained that Bieber waited for the right cultural conditions and legal processes. This ensures his voice carries weight and credibility.
The statement avoids sensationalism and aims to spark empathy. It was crafted with a high-level communications strategy and legal advice.
Reports also suggest Bieber was disturbed by Diddy's arrest. He reportedly regrets working with Diddy on his last album.
