Aubrey O’Day had a shocking health scare this week that forced her to miss a Danity Kane reunion tour stop.
The singer revealed that watching the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs The Reckoning triggered severe physical symptoms, landing her in the hospital and leaving her shaken.
O’Day has long been vocal about her experiences with Diddy, especially during her time on Making The Band, which she has described as a challenging period in her life.
Watching the docuseries, executive produced by 50 Cent, reportedly brought back painful memories, but this time she saw them unfold with new perspective and context.
Speaking to TMZ, O’Day explained that the experience caused “vertigo, fever, dizziness, migraine, chills and vomiting all night” while she was in the emergency room on Wednesday. Thankfully, she has since been released and is recovering.
“Watching everything from Netflix unfold publicly, seeing parts of a world I only knew from inside my own limited lens, was like living it again, but this time with context and truth outside of me,” O’Day said. “I didn’t think it would traumatize me the way it did, but watching the pieces line up from a distance outside of myself has felt like my nervous system was reliving everything with more clarity than I ever even asked for.”
The singer also addressed criticism from fans and followers who suggested she should have performed despite her condition.
“My heart is broken because I never want to let my DK sisters or the fans down,” she said. “However, I can’t wait to be with my girls for our Connecticut show on the 13th.”
O’Day’s experience underscores the lingering effects of past trauma and how revisiting it, even years later, can impact both mental and physical health.
