Aubrey O’Day dates back years as being one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ most loyal confidants.
Now she’s finally speaking out on the sex trafficking charges against the man that helped elevate her career.
O’Day, who rose to fame while appearing on the third season of Diddy’s MTV show “Making the Band” in 2005, is providing fresh details about her contentious history with the disgraced rapper – often alluding to his past allegedly abusive behavior.
“His behavior could have been stopped long before things like this broke our hearts to read,” she wrote on Oct. 1. “His abuse didn’t have to reach me & many others including women, men, & minors who will forever traumatize an entire industry.”
“He is a soulless human inside of a systemic problem within the entertainment industry that has been [run] by soulless people before he even hit the scene,” she continued. “So many people have tried to warn you, but his charisma fooled you. A lot of people are responsible for keeping him in a place of power & visibility, and if that part resonates [with] you, may you feel the same grieving that all of his victims won’t ever be able to fully repair.”
“You were complicit,” she concluded. “That needs to be acknowledged before things can truly change. Please think twice before you laugh at the jokes circulating. A lot of people’s lives were changed forever after crossing paths with this man.”

O’Day first met Diddy while competing on season three of MTV’s “Making The Band” nearly two decades ago.
Three years later, the rapper fired O’Day from Danity Kane during the season four finale.
During an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in 2022, O’Day claimed she was fired because she “wasn’t willing to do what was expected of [her] – not talent-wise, but in other areas.”
“You know, I have such a love-hate with it all because I don’t think I would have been able to be so successful in so many other areas had, I not been trained under Diddy,” she told host Alex Cooper, per Rolling Stone. “He was the hardest person that you can work for, and it was torture. And not the work part of it, but the other stuff – mind games. There was a lot of betrayal, there was a lot of lies.”
