Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun says he's being set up for humiliation and embarrassment by a photog who's suing Justin ... and that's why he wants an order keeping the depo secret before he starts answering questions.
Braun was supposed to show up today for his depo, but he never appeared. Instead, Scooter's lawyer filed legal docs asking a judge to keep the videotaped depo under wraps. Scooter's lawyer alleges that the photog's lawyer leaked Justin's depo to TMZ ... a depo that made J.B. look really bad.
Scooter also believes the lawyer is armed with irrelevant, embarrassing questions that will only poison a jury against Justin. For example, there are reports the photog's lawyer wants to ask Scooter if Justin uses steroids, and why Justin acts so jerky.
BTW ... in the legal docs, Scooter's lawyer calls the roid allegation "absurd."
