Aubrey O’Day broke her silence after a verdict in the trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs came through.
“Wow,” she captioned an Instagram video on Wednesday, July 2. O’Day, 41, filmed CNN journalists revealing the verdict as she shared her live reaction in the clip.
“This makes me physically ill,” she said. “I’m gonna vomit.”
A New York jury found Diddy, 55, guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution on Wednesday. He was subsequently acquitted of three other charges, including two sex trafficking charges and one racketeering conspiracy charge. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
O’Day has been outspoken against Diddy since the beginning of his legal battle. She started covering the trial on an iHeartRadio podcast that launched on May 16, shortly after the trial began.

She also told Us Weekly exclusively late last month that Diddy’s trial has impacted her love life.
“You know, there’s nothing that can really murder your sex life that’s bigger than the Diddy trial,” she said. “And I talked to Homeland Security over a year and something ago. I haven’t been interested [in dating]. I haven’t had sex in years.”
O’Day first crossed paths with Diddy when she competed on Making the Band 3, which aired on MTV from 2005 to 2006. O’Day, alongside Aundrea Fimbres, D. Woods, Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex, formed the group Danity Kane, which was signed by Diddy’s Bad Boy Records. When the Making the Band 4 finale aired in 2008, Diddy announced that O’Day had been kicked out of the group.
In more recent years, O’Day has been outspoken about her past experiences with Diddy — especially as various allegations came out against him.
The disgraced music mogul was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.
