The source noted “circumstances” around Justin’s star power have changed, as he “isn’t quite the dominating force he once was – with his medical problems and the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (sexual abuse) rumors from when he was young.”
“Meanwhile, Selena’s star keeps rising, and I’m sure Hailey, who’s no fool, took notice,” they added. “She’s clearly decided it’s better to bury the ax and turn the page.”
