Aubrey O’Day is making it clear that she isn’t satisfied with the outcome of Diddy’s recent legal saga.
During an appearance on the HelloPrenup podcast this past Wednesday, the singer suggested that the 50-month sentence Diddy received in October was a light brush with justice. Despite a high-profile trial that included testimony from Cassie Ventura and several former employees regarding sex trafficking and racketeering, O’Day remains unconvinced that the mogul has truly reckoned with his actions, stating she doubts he has “learned the right lessons.”
Reflecting on the seven week trial that captivated the industry last year, O’Day expressed that the most “concerning levels” of Diddy’s alleged behavior were never even brought to light in court. “I think he’s observing it from a perspective that potentially could be accurate on some levels, but the really serious levels and concerning levels that I see,” she remarked, “I don’t think we even discussed them during the trial.”
When host Julia Rodgers pointed out how disturbing the trial evidence was, Aubrey didn’t hold back her frustration with the verdict, “They weren’t disturbing enough to get a few stupid fucking people in the jury to understand it.
The Danity Kane alum, who has been sounding the alarm on Diddy since her departure from his label in the late 2000s, offered a deep dive into the psychology of wealth and influence. She argued that Diddy’s “facade” was built on a foundation of power that is more addictive than any physical vice.
People don’t understand how money and power is like better than the best sex you’ve ever had in your life,” she explained. People think porn addiction and sex addictions are crazy. Meet a powerful person. Sex ain’t nothing compared to what their highs look like.”
Although Aubrey was not called to the stand during the trial, she has consistently alleged that Diddy made unwanted sexual advances toward her during her career. She believes that being stripped of his resources is the only path to a genuine wake-up call, noting, “Because when you can’t rely on the facade anymore, money allows you to move in a lot of ways that you naturally would not authentically move in. And you can get lost in those.”
As Diddy continues his time behind bars, O’Day insists the world hasn’t seen the end of the story, adding, “When that’s taken away and you have to face yourself, that’ll wake anybody up.
