Aubrey O’Day is opening up about her alleged sexual assault at the hands of Diddy.
According to the account, Combs allegedly penetrated “her vagina, and there was another stocky light-skinned man with his penis in her mouth.” The statement also implied she may have been drugged during the alleged encounter.
Speaking with PEOPLE, O’Day shared her side of the story.
“I don’t drink or anything like that,” O’Day explained. “There was no ‘Oh, I could have been,’ or ‘Oh, I was doing…’ There was none of that for me.”
Juda Engelmayer, Combs’ spokesperson, dismissed O’Day’s claims.
“We will not be addressing individual allegations made in this Netflix hit piece,” Engelmayer said.
O’Day never reported the alleged assault to authorities. She said her decision “felt horrible” after the statute of limitations expired.
O’Day Didn’t Want To Watch The Diddy Doc
Initially, O’ Day said she never planned to watch the docuseries. Alex Stapleton, director of the doc, implored her to wait to watch the series.
Don’t watch it yet,” she said Stapleton told her. “Wait until the tour is over, or at least rehearsal.”
O’Day watched to doc anywa, and she had an instant physical reaction while viewing it.
“I was hyperventilating and in tears and sobbing,” she says.
She noted that the doc compelled her to questions she never asked before: “
“What other people are responsible for all of this besides him? What could really possibly make a change, and so these things don’t continue to occur?” she asked.
“I don’t even know if I was raped, and I don’t want to know,” she said in the series. Still, she searched for answers anyway, reaching out to other women. “I saw things, and I reached out to girls… wondering,” she says. “Because I saw things and I was like, ‘Oh, that must be a thing.’”
Diddy Allegedly Sent Sexually Explicit Images And Emails To O’Day
During Making the Band, she claims Diddy sent sexually explicit images and emails.
“I don’t want to just f— you, I want to turn you out,” O’Day reads in the doc.
“I can see you being with some motherf—– that you tell what to do. And I make my woman do what I tell her to do, and she loves it. I just want and like to do things different. I’m-a finish watching this porn and finish masturbating. I’ll think of you. If you change your mind and get ready to do what I say, hit me.” The email, dated March 23, 2008, included Combs’ standard signature at the time: “God bless. Diddy. God is the Greatest.”
O’Day says she turned down several of Diddy’s sexual advances. She believes she was fired from Danity Kane because she rebuffed him.
“I absolutely felt that I was fired for not participating sexually,” O’Day says in the film documentary.
O’Day Shared Her Path Toward Healing
After relocating to Bali in 2020 for a year, O’Day discovered alternative practices that led to her healing.
“I got into breathwork, ice baths, saunas, and reiki,” she says. “Whatever brings your body back to a state of peace.”
“I try to operate from that place and then continue on with my day,” O’Day explains. “ And I don’t know that it ever goes away. I’ve done all kinds of therapy. It doesn’t disappear. It just finds a place inside you where it becomes manageable again.”
