A former Playboy model has raised concerns about Justin Bieber's early career exposure to Sean "Diddy" Combs' influence, particularly criticizing the absence of parental oversight during his formative years in the entertainment industry.

Precious Muir, speaking to The Mirror US, expressed strong criticism of Bieber's parents, Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Mallette, stating, "There is no way that their parents should have left their children with this man by themselves." She emphasized the crucial need for parental presence around influential industry figures.

The controversy stems from Bieber's exposure to Diddy's circle at age 15, through their mutual connection with Usher. In a 2005 Rolling Stone interview, Usher described concerning experiences at what he called "Flavour Camp," noting inappropriate situations that young artists were exposed to.

Key concerns include:

• Lack of parental supervision at industry events
• Exposure to adult environments at a young age
• Potential impact on mental health and development
• The broader issue of child star protection in the entertainment industry

Muir highlighted the long-term consequences of inadequate protection for young stars, connecting early exposure to adult environments with later struggles. She noted that many former child stars "aren't even functioning as adults because of what abuse they went through when they were children."

This discussion emerges amid broader scrutiny of Diddy's relationships with young artists and renewed focus on protecting minors in the entertainment industry. While Bieber himself hasn't been implicated in any wrongdoing, the situation highlights the importance of maintaining strong parental oversight for young performers in show business.
