Aubrey O’Day is doing what she does best: spilling the tea. And this tea is piping hot! The tea kettle? None other than Sean “Diddy” Combs—music mogul, reality show maestro, and now, a freshly minted member of the “Oops, I Got Arrested” club.
In case you missed it, Aubrey, who you might remember from Danity Kane (that girl group Diddy formed on Making the Band before promptly dismantling it like a kid with a LEGO set), has never been shy about her time with the rapper-producer. For years, she’s been dropping hints that working with Diddy was, well, a bit like working for a corporate boss who moonlights as a drill sergeant.
But this week, the saga hit a new level of “You can’t make this stuff up.” On Monday night (because apparently, chaos always strikes at night), Diddy got arrested. Yep, you read that right. The charges? Oh, just your run-of-the-mill racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. You know, standard stuff… if you’re living in a Netflix crime drama. And get this, it’s been going on since 2008! That’s a lot of alleged mischief for a guy who invented “Ciroc boys.”
Now, after hearing this news, Aubrey reacted like someone who just saw karma pull up in a limo. She took to Instagram, clutching her metaphorical pearls, and said, “Justice, baby!” Well, not exactly that, but something close. She wrote, “The purpose of justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter. Women never get this.” Translation: “Finally! Diddy’s going down faster than Danity Kane’s second album sales.”
She didn’t stop there. Oh no. In an interview with TMZ, Aubrey got real. “I never thought I would see this day,” she said, probably while dramatically staring into the distance like the heroine in a telenovela. She went on to talk about how many victims (including some we don’t even know about yet) had to stuff down their trauma like the world’s worst Thanksgiving leftovers. “We buried this inside of us,” she said, adding that the wave of emotions coming from all the conversations she’s had with other victims is like “every Oscar-winning monologue wrapped into one.”
Meanwhile, Diddy, looking fresh in his jail-issued wardrobe, pleaded “not guilty” to the charges. The judge? Unimpressed. Bail? Denied. Sorry, Puff, it looks like you won’t be dancing your way out of this one.
Stay tuned for the next episode of Making the Court Case!
The purpose of Justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter. Women never get this. I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just me.
