Aubrey O’Day Addresses Claims She Was ‘Raped’ by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Aubrey O’Day Responds to Allegations of Sexual Assault by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
In a recent Netflix docuseries titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day addressed shocking allegations that she was sexually assaulted by Sean “Diddy” Combs during a period when she was reportedly very inebriated. The claims stem from an affidavit read aloud in the documentary, which described a disturbing scene witnessed by a third party. According to the affidavit, O’Day was found “sprawled out on a leather couch looking very inebriated,” with Combs allegedly engaging in non-consensual acts.
However, O’Day has publicly stated that she has no memory of the alleged incident and expressed uncertainty about what actually happened. She emphasized that during the time in question, she did not drink heavily, contradicting the affidavit’s description. “I don’t drink at all. It’s never been an issue with me,” she asserted, highlighting her disbelief and confusion about the claims.
Despite the gravity of the allegations, O’Day said she prefers not to delve deeper into the accusations, stating, “Does this mean I was raped? Is that what this means? I don’t even know if I was raped, and I don’t want to know.” This candid admission reflects the emotional toll such claims have taken on her.

However, she also acknowledged the burden this places on her and other victims, as discrediting one claim could undermine the credibility of others.

O’Day also alleged that Combs sent her explicit photos via email and that she was eventually removed from the group for refusing to participate in sexual activities.
