Aubrey O'Day has shared her reaction after Sean "Diddy" Combs was found not guilty on s-- trafficking and racketeering but guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution in his headline-making trial.
As the verdict came in on the morning of Wednesday, July 2, O'Day uploaded a video of the news unfolding on her TV, captioning the clip, "WOW."
Aubrey O'Day Upset Over the Verdict in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Trial
Aubrey O'Day said the verdict in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial makes her 'physically ill.'
"Oh my God," she exclaimed while watching a CNN report. "Not guilty on Cassie [Ventura]. Not guilty on RICO. Ugh, this makes me physically ill."
"Cassie probably feels so horrible," O'Day said, admitting the news made her want to throw up.
O'Day didn't testify in the case.
Combs' attorney Marc Agnifilo asked for his client to be released from prison — where he's been since his arrest in September 2024 — until an official sentencing is given. He requested he be given bail on a $1 million bond.
However, prosecutors want the star to remain behind bars. They are also seeking a 20-year maximum sentence, as he was found guilty on two counts of the MANN act — one count for his ex Ventura and one for a woman who went by Jane Doe.

Inside Aubrey O'Day's Relationship With Diddy
The pop star met Combs via 'Making the Band' on MTV.
O'Day didn't testify in the case but previously accused the music mogul of creating a toxic environment when she worked under his label in the girl group Danity Kane. She also accused the dad-of-seven of controlling her appearance and "grooming" her.
"Grooming is a process, they don't just abuse you on day one," she shared in an interview. "They make you feel like ... you get little bits of things that make you attracted and excited by [them] ... and then once they've got your attention, they let you know about yourself in different ways."
"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," the "Damaged" crooner added.
O'Day admitted she was 'scared' of Combs when working under his label
O'Day admitted she and her bandmates "were scared to death with what would happen with Puff each day" while the band was still together.
"There was just no room for error. Diddy was one of the most intense people you could ever work with. I experienced everything from race [remarks] to sexism and a lot of it was scary," the Masked Singer alum spilled. "I have a very strong mom who wasn’t necessarily a nurturer and I remember one time as a kid I hit my knee and as it was bleeding everywhere, she said, ‘Suck it up Aubrey!’ That was proper training for what I would experience on Making the Band."
