Hailey Bieber feels she's husband Justin's 'gatekeeper' amid Diddy controversy, claims source

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hailey Bieber reportedly feels like Justin Bieber’s “gatekeeper” amid the controversial situation surrounding her husband’s former mentor Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. 

After the Bad Boy Records founder, 54, was arrested last month under the charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, fans started wondering about the reactions of his former protégé Justin. 

While the 30-year-old pop star is yet to speak out about his reactions to Diddy’s arrest, Justin’s wife gave a clear message of her stance by posting an image of the ‘Baby’ singer raising his middle fingers upwards. 

However, as far as the Rhode Beauty founder is concerned, that is not her entire thought about the situation with Diddy, as sources recently revealed she felt like Justin’s “gatekeeper” amid the controversies.

Hailey Bieber’s reaction to Diddy controversy revealed

Diddy’s arrest on September 16 has put the spotlight back on the rapper’s former close equation with the ‘Never Say Never’ hitmaker. An old video of the 15-year-old Justin spending “48 hours with Diddy” resurfaced recently and grabbed a lot of attention amid the incoming flurry of troubling allegations against the ‘Last Night’ singer. 

While Justin is yet to share his reactions on the matter, his wife made her stance clear amid the intense online scrutiny on Monday night. 

The 27-year-old shared a throwback picture of her husband from 2017, where the ‘STAY’ singer, clad in shorts and bare-torsoed, flipped his middle fingers up in the air. 

Haile shared the snap on her Instagram with the caption, “mood.”

Later, an insider explained to Daily Mail her thoughts regarding the situation, saying, “Hailey believes that she is Justin’s gatekeeper and this was her way of showing the world how she feels about the whole situation [with Diddy] – not Justin.”

The insider further explained the reason behind Hailey’s choosing that particular photo of Justin. “Out of the 100s of photos of Justin giving the middle finger, she had to choose one from 2017 that was taken before he got back together with [his ex Selena Gomez] again,” dished the insider. 

The source, nevertheless conveyed that Hailey would probably let her husband speak for himself when he feels ready. “Hailey needs to let Justin act for himself instead of using an image of him to convey what she feels he should be saying,” said the source. 

The insider noted that as of now the ‘One Time’ singer is not yet in the mental state of speaking out. “But Justin really has no voice right now and it is sad,” noted the source.

Justin Bieber reportedly ‘feels like there is no one that he can talk to’

The insider dishing on Hailey’s feelings came just a few days after another source claimed that Justin has not yet made a statement about Diddy’s fall from grace as he has been "sailing these waters alone" because he has no one to talk to about his experiences with Sean "Diddy" Combs.

"Justin feels like there is no one that he can talk to that understands and, to be honest, he doesn't even fully understand. He was a kid,” added the source.

Moreover, the singer who found fame as a young artist when he was just a teenager, also welcomed his first child, son Jack Blues Bieber in August. 

The source noted that Justin is trying to balance his new experience as a father along with the Diddy situation, per Daily Mail. They claimed that he is struggling to find his balance as a good parent in light of his lack of similar experience from his father, Jeremy Bieber. 

"Justin is stressed right now. He has a baby boy and trying to be a good dad without having anything to reference what a good father is,” claimed the source. 

They further shed light on Justin's mental state, noting that he was "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."
