A source told RadarOnline, "Justin is sweating bullets, fearing he's going to get served with a subpoena and have to recount every lurid thing he saw while under Diddy's wing."

The source added, "It’s left Hailey, who has long deflected divorce rumors, wondering where all of this will leave her husband—and their marriage."

Internet reacts to Justin Bieber's hacked account claim 

Many internet users doubted Justin Bieber's hacking claims and accused him of using the incident as a publicity stunt with several others doubting his clarity. 

"But why specifically? Things aren’t adding up," one user wrote on X. Another stated, "We all know Justin is doing this to promote his album."

Some fans criticized the singer’s casual response to the supposed hack, with one commenting, "Isn’t he being so chill with his account being ‘hacked’????"

Others dismissed the incident entirely, saying, "It was just a PR stunt by him. Just him trying to get back in the industry."

One joke read, "Selena Gomez still having his password is insane." Another user quipped, "Come on! Being hacked is an easy escape nowadays."
