Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day thinks that Diddy was somewhat let off the hook after his sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
The singer was a guest on the Wednesday (January 7) episode of the HelloPrenup podcast, and during the chat O'Day said she doubted that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder has "learned the right lessons."
Diddy (real name Sean Combs) is currently serving a 50-month sentence after being found guilty of two counts of violating the Mann Act in October. During the seven-week long trial, which began last May, Diddy's former girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, former Bad Boy employees and sex workers testified about their past involvement with the artist and music executive.
"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," O'Day said (around the 16-minute mark in the video below). "I don't think we even discussed them during the trial."
Despite O'Day believing that the severity of Diddy's crimes were not addressed, the singer thinks that the music tycoon can change.
"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," she said.
"You can lose the plot quickly. People don't understand how money and power is like better than the best sex you've ever had in your life. People think porn addiction and sex addictions are crazy. Meet a powerful person. Sex ain't nothing compared to what their highs look like."
"When that's taken away and you have to face yourself, that'll wake anybody up," O'Day added, also saying that the public hasn't seen Diddy's "downfall."
After host Julia Rodgers said the details of the trial were "disturbing," O'Day replied: "They weren't disturbing enough to get a few stupid fucking people in the jury to understand it."
O'Day has spoken out against Diddy since initially being exiled from Danity Kane in the late 2000s. The singer was not subpoenaed in the trial but has repeatedly accused Diddy of making unwanted sexual advances towards her while signed to him.
In 2025 Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, O'Day read an affidavit involving her, her former boss and another man, which alleged that the men sexually assaulted her while she appeared "inebriated." As mentioned in the documentary and a follow-up interview on CBS Mornings, O'Day doesn't know if the alleged incident happened.
