As sexual abuse allegations against P. Diddy continue to unfold, one key question remains: What did Diddy’s celebrity peers, like Justin Bieber, Usher, and Ashton Kutcher, know about his actions, and why are they staying silent now? While many women have bravely come forward with their stories, male celebrities in Diddy’s inner circle have remained largely quiet.

The Silence of Bieber and Usher

A disturbing video featuring Justin Bieber at just 15 years old, joking about spending 48 hours with Diddy, takes on a more troubling context in light of the allegations. Bieber, along with Usher, was close to Diddy at a young age. While no accusations have been made against Bieber, his silence on the matter, coupled with his vulnerable position as a young star, raises questions: Was he a victim, and why hasn’t he spoken up?

Usher, too, has long been close to Diddy. Given their tight relationship, it’s hard not to wonder: Did he know more than he’s letting on?

Kutcher’s Complicated Stance

Ashton Kutcher, known for his advocacy on behalf of trafficking victims, has remained quiet about Diddy. His defense of Danny Masterson, a convicted rapist, adds another layer of concern about his willingness to speak out against other powerful men in the industry. Kutcher’s silence on Diddy may reflect a broader issue within Hollywood: fear of retribution and a culture of complicity.

The Outsiders Who Speak Out

Not all of Diddy’s former colleagues have stayed silent. Eminem and 50 Cent have both made statements suggesting they know more about Diddy’s alleged actions, with Eminem alluding to Diddy’s involvement in the deaths of Tupac and Biggie, and 50 Cent distancing himself from Diddy’s controversial circle.

The Call for Accountability

At this moment, the responsibility falls on stars like Usher, Bieber, and Kutcher to break the silence. Their voices could help expose the truth and shift the culture in Hollywood, ensuring accountability for the victims and putting an end to the power structures that have allowed abuse to persist. The longer they stay silent, the more the industry protects its abusers.
