Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day shares whether she'll testify at P Diddy trial
Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day spoke on a new podcast about whether she will be testifying at the ongoing Sean 'Diddy' Combs' high-profile trial
Danity Kane alum Aubrey O'Day announced she will not be testifying at the high-profile trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The disgraced rapper, 55, has been in court all week as he faces a number of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The music mogul was arrested in September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, with a number of bail requests rejected. His former partner of 10 years, Cassie Ventura, has been on the stand most of the week. In a recent interview, Aubrey - who rose to fame under Diddy's guidance - discussed the trial.
Speaking to T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach in the premiere episode of a new podcast about the trial, the 41-year-old singer said she won't be testifying despite allegedly being contacted by Homeland Security.
She previously shared a social media post on May 14 which some thought was a hint at a possible appearance at the trial. Taking a snap in New York City, she captioned the post: "Hey New York!!! Where y'all think I should head first?"
There was speculation she was subpoenaed but she said on iHeart Radio's Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present: Aubrey O'Day, Covering the Diddy Trial: "No, I'm not here to testify for the Diddy trial, that I know of."
She claimed she was contacted by Homeland Security and "did have a meeting with them" regarding a testimony.
Aubrey said: "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 added: "I look at the beginning of 'Making the Band' and little Aubrey auditioning, and I'm like, 'I don't know how I became the sexy face one."
The star worked with Diddy in 2005 for his hit programme, Making The Band, which he was the executive producer of. She quickly became a fan favourite and became a member of Danity Kane, who were signed to Bad Boy Records.
Other members of the band included Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex. During Making The Band 4, Diddy revealed that Aubrey was soon kicked out of the group.
Further episodes of Aubrey O'Day, Covering The Diddy Trial, will be released as the trial continues.
