As you may recall, Bieber and Jeffries—who rode shotgun in the singer's rented Lamborghini when he was arrested for a DUI in 2014—spent quite a bit of time together in the past.
While sources at the time told E! News they were "just friends," they were continuously posting cuddly photos together, and she even helped him ring in his 20th birthday.
After he was arrested for the DUI, Jeffries received a lot of negative attention from media outlets and fans. She ended up releasing a statement regarding a couple New York Daily News and Daily Mail articles that claimed her rap sheet lists five arrests.
"I have been overwhelmed by the negative attention I have recently received in the media," Jeffries told E! News in a statement. "My family and I are particularly upset about the false accusations which have been published concerning my criminal history."
She continued, "For the record, I have not been arrested five times as has been stated in the media, nor am I guilty of physically assaulting anyone, in any way shape or form. I am a full-time student who had enjoyed a normal lifestyle, free from public scrutiny and criticism, until now. What has happened to me is wrong. I want people in general, and the media in particular, to consider the impact their disparaging comments have on the individual; especially when their comments are inaccurate."
In fact, she ended up suing the Daily News for defamation shortly thereafter.
