"It's horrible to see the news moving on": Aubrey O'Day calls Diddy's guilty verdict a 'gut punch'

Singer and reality TV star, Aubrey O'Day, became emotional as she opened up about the jury's decision in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal trial. In an interview with CNN's Elizabeth Wagmeister on the latest episode of iHeartRadio's Aubrey O'Day, Covering The Diddy Trial podcast, the 41-year-old singer talked about the jury's verdict in the high-profile federal trial.

According to US Weekly, while the 55-year-old rap mogul was not found guilty on charges of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking, he was found guilty on charges related to prostitution. During the interview, Aubrey O'Day became sentimental, thinking about what the results of this particular trial could mean to victims of abuse.

During her conversation with Wagmeister, Aubrey O'day mentioned speaking with other victims of abuse, who felt defeated. O'day shared:

"They just said, ‘We’re never gonna see justice.'"

The singer/reality TV star added:

"There’s so many people that have been so disenfranchised in the music industry that they never expected to even see anything good from this. Like, they were almost waiting for another gut punch."

Aubrey O'day, who was once a member of the girl band Danity Kane, revealed how emotional she became when she watched the 2016 hotel surveillance footage of Diddy physically and brutally abusing his former partner, Cassandra Ventura. O'day also shared that she watched it "17 f*cking times." It was CNN that posted the heartbreaking and disturbing security footage of Diddy beating Ventura in May 2024. Aubrey went ahead and said:

"There are so many f***ing people that feel so unseen. It’s horrible. It’s horrible. It’s horrible to talk to them, it’s horrible to see the news moving on. … Like, this is shocking. And this is a gut punch for so many people. People that don’t have lawsuits, people that aren’t trying to make money or be seen. Victims that did not want to be seen or profit off of this, but just regret ever being in his path and being involved in whatever hurt harmed them, and they’re just like, ‘I told you, this is how it works."
