Lou Taylor is in the headlines again, for all the wrong reasons. According to British media, the Hollywood business manager has been fired by Justin Bieber amid news of her company, Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group, being named in a damning Diddy lawsuit.

Per the LA Times, one of Taylor’s employees, Robin Greenhill, was listed as Sean Combs’ accountant, and allegedly oversaw payments to sex workers. The claims come from music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who also accused Combs of sexually harassing and drugging him.

Taylor’s business relationship with Bieber reportedly ended on bad terms, and the “Baby” singer has since hired Johnny Depp’s business manager, Edward White, per British media.

As some readers will remember, Taylor was previously accused of being involved in forming Britney Spears’ conservatorship. These are not the only times she’s had bad press either.
