Aubrey O'Day Says She Won't Be Testifying at Diddy Trial

'I'm not here to testify for the Diddy trial, that I know of,' O'Day said, according to People.
The 41-year-old singer suggested her involvement could still evolve, revealing she had been 'contacted by Homeland Security' and had a meeting with the agency, which led March raids on Diddy's homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
Earlier in the week, O'Day — who appeared on MTV's Making the Band under Diddy's mentorship — sparked speculation about a possible court appearance after sharing a cryptic Instagram post from New York City.
'Hey New York!!! Where y'all think I should head first?' she wrote on May 14, including a scale emoji. Us Weekly also reported that a source claimed O'Day was subpoenaed to testify at the trial.
During the podcast episode, O'Day clarified the post's intent. 'I posted on my Instagram that I was here in New York and enjoying myself because I wanted to make it clear to everyone that I am not here testifying,' she said.
Diddy is currently facing multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. His trial is set to resume Monday (May 19). If convicted on all counts, he could face life in prison.
O'Day previously spoke out after Diddy's September 2024 arrest. 'The purpose of Justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter. Women never get this. I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just me. Things are finally changing,' she wrote on X at the time.
Danity Kane, the girl group formed in 2005 on Making the Band, was signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Records. O'Day was removed from the group in 2008 and later claimed on the Call Her Daddy podcast in 2022 that her exit stemmed from her refusal to comply with non-music-related requests from the music mogul.
