Aubrey O’Day reacts to Donald Trump’s praise of Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs
In 2012, Aubrey O’Day reacted to Donald Trump’s praise of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs during season 5 of The Celebrity Apprentice. Diddy recruited O’Day when he formed Danity Kane for MTV’s Making the Band in 2005.
In a clip shared by Access Hollywood, O’Day sat across from the former president as a contestant on the NBC series. She stated her case about why she was such a fierce competitor.
“As a very strict and focused businesswoman, working for Diddy for six years. It trained me to how to be perfect,” O’Day said.
“Working for Diddy?” Trump responded. “I love Diddy.”
He added, “He’s a good friend of mine. He’s a good guy. Is he a good guy?”
O’Day responded, “I don’t want to answer that question.” Trump stated, “I think he’s a good guy, and I’m going to stick up for him.”
Aubrey O’Day accused Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs of ‘trauma’
In an interview with People Magazine, Aubrey O’Day spoke about her experiences with Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. She referenced “trauma” and said the feelings don’t “go away.”
“It’s a forever thing that you have to wake up every day and choose to evolve past. It doesn’t go away,” she adds. “It’s like childhood trauma. We don’t like to think it just disappears in our thirties, but really, we start realizing how bad it really is in our thirties.”
O’Day revealed in a separate interview she was asked to sign an NDA about her experience working for Diddy’s record label. She and Danity Kane recorded two double platinum-selling albums for his company, and was subsequently fired from the group.
She ‘wasn’t willing to what was expected’ of her when it came to Diddy
In an interview for Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Aubrey O’Day elaborated further on her personal and professional relationship with Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. She shared details of what Combs wanted from her which was completely unrelated to her music career.
“I wasn’t willing to do what was expected of me. Not talent-wise but in other areas,” O’Day claimed. “At the very end, he fired me.”
Ironically, O’Day went on to date Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump, Jr. At the time he was married to his first wife, Vanessa Trump.
“I was so in love I don’t know that I ever focused too much on this other woman idea,” O’Day explained. It ended after she told Trump Jr. he had to choose between her and his family.
Sean Combs is currently in federal custody awaiting trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. His next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 9, 2024.
