Aubrey O’Day recently opened up about the sense of fear she suffered after speaking out against Sean “Diddy” Combs. The singer hasn’t been shy about detailing her bad experiences with her former label boss. Now, she’s been candid about just how severely the ordeal has impacted her.
Aubrey O’Day believes Diddy “blacklisted” her from the music industry
Aubrey recently revealed that she felt so scared about possible retaliation from Diddy that she felt the need to arm herself with a weapon. In a recent interview with Decider, she explained.
“There were unmarked cars around me for a bit that seemed suspicious. I don’t know how much danger there ever was, is or isn’t. We saw two victims drop out during jury selection. Clearly there were things moving and shaking on all sides. But I’ve been aware multiple times in the past couple of years that physical danger is a real thing.”
She said that she felt so threatened she got a butcher knife.
Aubrey took part in MTV’s Making the Band when she was just 21. Diddy signed her and her Danity Kane bandmates to his label. However, the media mogul fired her in 2008, allegedly for being too “raunchy and promiscuous.”
Now, the singer is keen to clarify that this wasn’t the case: “I’ve lived my whole life and I received a lot of blacklisting, a lot of opportunities gone right out the door the second that he said, ‘You’re fired … for being raunchy and promiscuous,'” she said. “I think the whole world understands, if I were and had been at that time, he would have loved me.”
A jury recently convicted Diddy on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. His former girlfriend Cassie Ventura has claimed he was abusive throughout their relationship. Aubrey has previously spoken out in support of Cassie.
Aubrey recently took part in Plastic Surgery Rewind. The show, part of the Botched universe, follows a mix of celebs as they embark on a journey to decide whether to dial back their former procedures. The stars are under the guidance of Beverly Hills surgeon Terry Dubrow, who is certainly no stranger to reality TV.
