Megyn Kelly is calling out celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Ashton Kutcher and others who were once close to disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs for their silence following his arrest. Combs was arrested Monday on serious charges including racketeering and sex trafficking.

In a recent episode of her podcast, Kelly questioned why Combs’ close friends haven’t publicly addressed the allegations. She singled out Bieber specifically, citing his close relationship with Combs at a young age, and suggested that he should speak out, even if he was a victim of the alleged crimes.

Megyn Kelly calls on Diddy’s ‘friends’ to speak out

Since last November, the shocking revelations of Diddy’s twisted secrets have led to multiple lawsuits and even an FBI raid on his Los Angeles and Miami mansions. This week, the Bad Boy Records producer was finally arrested and is currently being held in a Brooklyn jail.

The music mogul maintained close friendships with many top musicians and pop stars, including Justin Bieber, who first met Diddy when he was 15, and Usher, who met him when he was 13 or 14 and admitted that Diddy introduced him to “a totally different kind of s*** — sex, specifically.”

“Justin Bieber… they’re not saying his name is in any of this, but Justin was very young when he came into Diddy’s circle,” Megyn Kelly recalled. “There’s no question he was in close contact with this man, and I think he needs to say something about it.”

Several old videos have surfaced, specifically ones showing Bieber interacting with Diddy, fueling speculation among fans that Bieber could be one of Diddy’s victims. Many believe this could explain Bieber’s apparent distance from the rapper in recent years.

Megyn encourages Bieber to speak out, even if ‘he was a victim’

Kelly acknowledged the difficult position Bieber might be in if he was a victim of Diddy’s troubled past. “It’s very hard to come forward and say this happened to you, but if he was a victim, God forbid, I encourage him to come forward,” she said. “It takes someone that strong to break the dam.”

The talk show host suggests that if public figures like Usher, Justin Bieber or Ashton Kutcher were to speak out about what they know about Sean Combs and his whereabouts, that would show leadership. “If you actually let an Usher, a Bieber or someone like Ashton Kutcher — I don’t think he was a victim of abuse, but he was good friends with Diddy for a long time — come forward with what they know, that would show leadership.”

“And it would give the others on the list permission and assurance that they are not the only ones who have to worry about retaliation,” she added.

Justin Bieber ‘disturbed’ after Diddy’s arrest

Despite fans claiming Bieber distanced himself from Diddy at a young age, the pop star did collaborate with Combs on the song “Moment” from the 2023 album The Love Album: Off the Grid. However, he hasn’t been seen publicly with Diddy since then. Now, a source told the Daily Mail: “Bieber is so upset by the news about Diddy and doesn’t want to process it or discuss it, so he’s shut down.” They added: “Justin hasn’t commented since the searches. He won’t.”

The insider also said that Bieber “regrets” working with Diddy, saying he never would have worked with the disgraced mogul if he had known about the allegations at the time.

On the other hand, Sean Combs is awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He was recently placed under the supervision of a suicide watchdog as a “supervisory measure for inmates at risk of self-harm who require frequent observation,” after his bail applications were denied twice. He is reportedly worried about his seven children.
