Justin Bieber was spotted in Los Angeles on Friday night, looking contemplative and somber as his name continues to be associated with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing sex crimes scandal.
The 30-year-old pop star was seen leaving celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont alone, captured in photos sitting in his car.

He was dressed in a white hoodie and had a white and red patterned scarf wrapped around his head.
Bieber appeared deep in thought, sporting a serious expression while seated behind the wheel.
The “Lonely” singer’s former friendship with Combs, now 54, from when he was just a teenager, has been thrust into the spotlight as Combs faces accusations of sexual assault, including allegations involving 25 minors.
Recently, videos of Bieber’s past interactions with the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper, featuring questionable exchanges, have resurfaced online.
In one instance from March, an old YouTube video that the “Yummy” singer previously shared showed him spending 48 hours with Combs at the age of 15.
The “Tell Me” rapper remarked in part of the clip, “Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” which many have since called “creepy” because of its secrecy.
Another video surfaced in which Bieber appeared visibly uncomfortable as Combs commented, “Starting to act different, huh? You haven’t been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out.”
The “Baby” singer awkwardly responded at the time, “You tried to get in contact with me throughout all my [partners] and what not — but you never got my number, so want my number?”
More recently, a 2011 segment from “Jimmy Kimmel Live” resurfaced, showing both Bieber and Combs as guests, discussing their close relationship.
In the clip, when Bieber mentioned that Combs had promised him a Lamborghini, the former Bad Boy Records executive cautioned, “He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. … Everything ain’t for everybody.”
