Aubrey O’Day Says Diddy Is Using His Kids for ‘Optics’: ‘Daddy’s Being Selfish’
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial for sex trafficking and racketeering began earlier this month, but viewers haven’t gotten a glimpse of the disgraced rap mogul aside from a few courtroom sketches. They have seen his children walking in and out of the courtroom to show their support, though. Aubrey O’Day, who just revealed she won’t be testifying against Diddy, isn’t showing up in court. Still, she’s willing to offer her opinions. During a recent podcast appearance, O’Day suggested Diddy has his kids showing up in court for “better optics.” She didn’t mince words, insisting that the music producer is selfish.
Aubrey O’Day thinks Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is using his kids
Aubrey O’Day won’t be in the courtroom for Diddy’s trial, but she’s happy to discuss her thoughts on the situation. O’Day has been outspoken about Diddy for years, and she won’t clam up now. She recently sat down for an interview on Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ podcast, Amy and T.J., and discussed all things Diddy.
O’Day has a pretty strong opinion regarding his kids being in the courtroom. O’Day condemned Diddy for allowing his kids to sit through the trial. She said she can’t imagine a father who would want their children to hear the things Diddy’s kids are listening to right now, including his sexual proclivities and his violent nature.
O’Day thinks she knows why Diddy is allowing the kids to sit in, even as Cassie Ventura took the stand. She told Robach and Holmes that she believes “Daddy’s being selfish,” and is using his children for “better optics” during the trial. In short, O’Day thinks Diddy is using his children to project a “family man” persona.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is the father of seven children from relationships with four women. His eldest, Quincy Taylor Brown, is the biological son of Kim Porter and Al B. Sure!. He also has three biological children with the late Porter. Their first biological child, Christian ‘King’ Combs, was born in 1998.

Diddy has a 19-year-old daughter named Chance Combs, as well. She was born to Sarah Chapman in 2006. Chance Combs is a student at NYU. It doesn’t appear that Chapman and Diddy were in a romantic relationship when they welcomed their child.

Who is Aubrey O’Day?
Aubrey O’Day has some strong opinions about Diddy and his current trial. It should come as no surprise, though. O’Day is well-acquainted with Diddy and his controlling behavior. In fact, she began speaking out against the music mogul years ago, even hinting at his more depraved behaviors back in 2022, a full year before the first civil lawsuit was filed.
O’Day is a singer and reality television personality, best known for her 2004 appearance on MTV’s Making the Band 3. O’Day was one of the women selected by Sean “Diddy” Combs to join the girl group Danity Kane. The group achieved commercial success with two platinum albums under Combs’ Bad Boy Records. O’Day parted ways with the group in 2008. O’Day later revealed that she was fired because she refused to acquiesce to Diddy’s demands.
While it was initially assumed that O’Day would be one of several women testifying against Diddy at his trial, she later revealed that she would not be available for the trial. O’Day was never subpoenaed in the case, though she did speak to federal agents about what she saw and experienced.
