LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber reportedly "seems to be more troubled than ever" since his trust issues have been exacerbated with his former mentor Sean 'Diddy' Combs being arrested and his former managers having mismanaged his money.

Previously, a source claimed that those close to Justin, 30, are becoming "genuinely worried" about him because he has "shut himself off from the world" in the wake of Diddy's arrest and the ongoing scandal involving the disgraced rapper.

The 'Baby' hitmaker and his wife Hailey Bieber created a family costume based on the animated Disney series 'Kim Possible' to celebrate their son Jack's first Halloween.

With their 3-month-old infant dressed as their animated mole-rat companion Rufus, the couple publicly showed off their impressive 'Kim Possible' character makeovers. However, an insider emphasized that Justin is struggling with difficult times away from the spotlight.

"Justin hardly ever gets out. Everyone thought his lack of socializing was because he was embracing being a dad, but now those close to him are concerned it’s a deeper issue," the insider told InTouch Weekly.

They added, "He seems to be more troubled than ever," stressing that the singer also appears to have put a halt to his musical career, with his most recent album being released in 2021.

Not only is Justin frequently featured in news linked to the notorious music tycoon Diddy, but he has also been facing significant financial difficulties.

According to TMZ and Page Six, the 'Peaches' singer, whose estimated net worth is $300 million, is considering the idea of taking his former managers to court for "grossly" mismanaging his money in late October.

Justin Bieber 'disappears sometimes' as his mental health is allegedly 'regressing'

According to reports, Justin's mental health has been suffering as a result of the stormy accumulation of the aforementioned issues. His past experiences with depression and suicidal thoughts make the possibly escalating mental anguish a sensitive subject for him.

Even though the 'Love Yourself' singer got support to get through those difficult times, he has been troubled lately by current occurrences, such as a possible litigation over his $300 million wealth.

The insider warned of Justin, "He seems to be regressing. When he experiences low lows, Justin disappears sometimes. Some in his immediate circle are worried."

They continued, "Justin’s been shaken by the whole scandal," referencing the impact the Diddy investigation has had on him.

Justin's life has seen several significant changes since August. His former mentor Diddy was imprisoned for suspected trafficking and racketeering only weeks after Hailey gave birth to their first child.

The celebrity is also apparently considering his legal options after company managers allegedly cost him a significant sum of money, in addition to reportedly owing $380,000 in unpaid property taxes.

Justin's trust issues are at an all-time high because of his financial troubles and the Diddy controversy. Although he has learned via his difficult path over the years that his mental health comes first, there are days when the ideal scenario might differ from his reality.

A different source previously told InTouch Weekly, "It’s like he’s fallen off the map since Diddy’s arrest and all the sick details coming out. People are genuinely worried about him."
