Former pop star Aubrey O’Day has often talked about Diddy’s mistreatment of her during her time on Making the Band; now she’s trying to enjoy a less dramatic life on the island of Bali

She tried to warn us.

Former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day has long been vocal about the mistreatment she faced at the hands of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who created the girl group on MTV’s Making the Band in 2005.

In 2019, O’Day revealed to Variety that she was “scared to death” working with Combs, and faced “everything from race [remarks] to sexism”. In 2023, she claimed he asked her to sign an NDA to ensure she would “never disparage” him or his label.

Now, the disgraced rapper is facing charges of sex trafficking, prostitution, racketeering and fraud, but O’Day hardly feels vindicated.

Speaking to People magazine about the allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder, O’Day likened her experience to “childhood trauma” and claimed that “justice is so much bigger than one man”. However, she revealed in a recent post on X that she feels “validated”, and acknowledged that Diddy’s arrest was “a win for women all over the world”.

More recently, on the Crysis Queen podcast, the “Automatic” singer claimed that “grooming” was a major part of Diddy’s abuse pattern and that there are “way more victims”.

So, what else do we know about Aubrey O’Day?
