Bieber’s Downward Spiral: Family Friends Are Worried

“Justin’s reputation has been drastically tarnished in a really short time span simply because of the company he’s keeping,” a source says.  “Nobody’s going to name names or point fingers, but Justin knows who he shouldn’t be hanging out with and has clearly been caught in some undesirable situations because of these people.”  Since splitting with Selena Gomez, in December, a paparazzo was hit and killed while following Justin’s white Ferrari (driven by pal Lil Twist), photos leaked online of Justin smoking what appeared to be marijuana while surrounded by a group of friends, he embarked on a steamy sex romp with a nursing student, and his Ferrari was once again pulled over by police, twice in two days — both times with his pal Lil Za at the wheel without a valid driver’s license — and a photo of Justin allegedly groping a fan’s breast was published. “Justin’s family, his business team and his closest friends are really concerned about the direction Justin is going in with his life right now,” the source says.  “Not only is it bad for his reputation, but the influences around him aren’t good.”
