Former Diddy protege Aubrey O’Day is again speaking out about the embattled rap mogul — and this time, it’s regarding her experience on his once-popular show Making The Band.
The 40-year-old singer pops up this week on the newest episode of Renee Graziano‘s podcast Crysis Queen. And per DailyMail.com, which obtained a preview clip of some of the discussion the women had during the interview, the Danity Kane crooner goes all-in on calling out Diddy’s disturbing alleged behavior during the filming of the third season of the hit MTV show way back in 2005!!

In an early look at a clip from the pod, O’Day opens up with claims that Diddy “groomed” her during filming. Specifically, he constantly found faults with her appearance now matter how prim and proper she looked. For one, the Show Stopper hitmaker explained that Diddy had multiple sides to him, and supposedly wasn’t always sober:
“With Diddy, I saw multiple real things, sides of him. I don’t know who I was even talking to, who was sober… there was always an element of something going on.”
Whoa…
The rapper apparently dictated virtually all of the little details of her appearance on the show, too. At one point, she recalled how he sent her out of a studio recording session because her toes weren’t properly polished:
“He’s on camera saying how much he hates it, then he’s off camera telling me all the ways that I needed to be groomed properly, like down to my toenails. I was sent out of a studio session one time because my toes weren’t polished properly.”
WTF?!
Aubrey said that Diddy would often refer to her openly as the “looker of the band,” and so the alleged grooming was simply part of the cycle of abuse. Then, Graziano asked O’Day if she had any experiences or thoughts with the Bad Boy Records founder’s “freak-off” sex parties, but Aubrey cryptically tried to swerve that question:
“Oh, I don’t think I’m at that point yet. I’ve got to see how it plays out. That’s going to be real. that’s going to allow the opportunity for Everyone to start talking about what….you know personally as my friend is going through… I can’t talk about that though.”
Speaking of being cryptic, the singer also alluded to the fact that right now, she is only “saying what I can,” and made it sound as though many, many more stories will soon come out:
“Right now I’m dealing with put-downs and the commentary and whatever. I’m saying what I can, and what was obvious to the world, and what everyone already saw, nothing new. and then I think as this progresses I pray that people will find freedom and get more clarity on their stories because victims can talk to victims, even that cannot happen [now.]”
Jeez. And, like, even more extremely disturbing stories already have come out just in the last 24 hours, so…
Reflecting on her time around the beleaguered music mogul, O’Day tried to link the experience to people who serve in the military and are broken down by the process only to be re-molded into whatever they are fighting for:
“After coming off of Diddy, there’s not many people you can go into a room with and get that type of high from. grooming is a process, they don’t just abuse you on day one. they make you feel like they you get little bits of things that make you attracted and excited by and then once they’ve got your attention, they let you know about yourself in different ways. It’s like the military, they break you down and build you back up into the soldier they need you to be for the country they need you to be fighting for.”
Oof. That’s a pretty heavy comparison!
Oh, and this is FAR from over — at least according to Aubrey. She also very cryptically noted:
“There are way more victims. there is a lot more crazy s**t. As this unfolds, more people will be heard.”
Yikes!!!
We shudder to think that there might be even more victims out there, but we also desperately want them to seek justice for whatever they had to go through. Ya know? Such a sordid situation overall. Ugh.
