Canadian singer, Justin Bieber has posted on Instagram for the first time since the arrest of his former mentor, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The pop star, 30, shared a combination of pictures of himself and bird-related images on his page.
Prior to Sunday’s post, the last time he had posted to his Instagram page was September 3, nearly two weeks before Diddy’s arrest by federal authorities in connection with allegations of sex trafficking.
The embattled music mogul was hit Monday with a new wave of lawsuits accusing him of raping women, sexually assaulting men and molesting a 16-year-old boy – the first time he´s been sued by a person alleging they were abused as a minor.
At least six lawsuits were filed against Combs in federal court in Manhattan, adding to a growing list of legal claims against the indicted hip-hop mogul, all of which he has denied.
The lawsuits were filed anonymously to protect the identities of the accusers, two by women identified as Jane Does and four by men identified as John Does.
Combs has pleaded not guilty in his criminal case, which involves allegations he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
Twice denied bail, the Bad Boy Records founder remains locked up in a Brooklyn federal jail while awaiting trial in May. Two judges have concluded that Combs would be a danger to the community if he is released.
Last Friday, an appeals court judge denied Combs’ immediate release from jail while a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals weighs his bail request.
