As a wave of civil lawsuits were filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2024, Aubrey O’Day learned that someone once witnessed her being sexually assaulted by her former boss — even though she has no memory of the incident.
“I had a lawyer reach out to me in regards to an affidavit that they had received from a person that was allegedly a victim and that wanted me to be aware of something she had seen,” the singer, 41, reveals in the fourth episode of 50 Cent’s new Netflix docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
In the docuseries, O’Day reads aloud from the affidavit, in which the witness describes an incident in 2004 in which she saw her “sprawled out on a leather couch looking very inebriated… She was naked from the bottom half, and she had something over her top. Puff Daddy was penetrating in her vagina, and there was another stalky light-skinned man with his penis in her mouth. Aubrey looked out of it and was just lying there.”

The Making the Band alum claims she “didn’t drink like that at all. I don’t drink at all. It’s never been an issue with me.”
She also has no recollection of the assault, despite the fact that the witness was “100 percent certain” that it was her.
“Does this mean I was raped?” the reality star asks. “I don’t even know if I was raped and I don’t want to know. I don’t want to find out any more that that woman has to say.”
The former Masked Singer contestant — who also reads from the sexually explicit emails Combs allegedly sent her and claims she believes he fired her from Dannity Kane because she didn’t have sex with him — says she doesn’t want to question the woman’s story.
If it’s not true, “that gives Diddy and his legal team credit to take down everybody else as potential liars,” O’Day explains, and she doesn’t want that “weight” on her conscience.

“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has repeatedly stated for over a year now, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a media circus. Let me make it absolutely clear, Mr. Combs categorically denies as false and defamatory all claims that he sexually abused anyone,” his attorney, Jonathan Davis, said in a statement to ABC News in November. “He looks forward to vindicating himself in court, where such matters are decided — and not in the media — based on admissible, material evidence, not rank speculation and unsubstantiated allegations.”
The Bad Boy Records founder is currently serving 50 months in prison after being found guilty of two counts of transportation for prostitution.
