How Justin Bieber Is Handling the Situation
Sources close to Bieber have stated that the singer is spiraling, struggling to cope with the possibility of such sensitive content being leaked to the public. The emotional toll is severe, as Bieber feels violated, betrayed, and powerless. According to insiders, Bieber is considering taking legal action to stop the tape from being released, with a defamation lawsuit against Diddy allegedly in the works. But with the nature of media and the internet, controlling such a leak once it hits the public domain might be an uphill battle.
Hailey Bieber, Justin’s wife, seems to be standing by him, subtly expressing her frustration over the situation. In a post from her social media, she shared a photo of Justin flipping off the camera during a trip to Australia back in 2017, captioning it “Mood.” Fans believe this was her way of addressing the ongoing scandal without directly commenting on the allegations.
The legal questions surrounding the tape are significant. Who owns the rights to the footage? Could selling it be considered revenge porn, which is illegal in many states? Or could this situation merely devolve into a copyright battle? Media outlets are reportedly wary of purchasing the tape due to potential criminal charges, especially if there’s uncertainty surrounding Bieber’s age when the tape was recorded.
For now, while some media companies are reportedly interested, others are avoiding the footage like the plague, fearing legal consequences.
