Aubrey O’Day Reveals How Diddy Fueled Her Plastic Surgery Obsession
Aubrey O'Day is reflecting on her past trauma.
The former Danity Kane alum—the band created by Sean "Diddy" Combs—got candid about where her plastic surgery obsession originated in an exclusive sneak peek at the July 30 episode of E!'s makeover series Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind.
When Dr. Terry Dubrow asked why she had moved forward with some cosmetic enhancements, she admitted, "It started with being in a girl group. The demands I noticed of my looks. Diddy was..."
After taking a pause to collect herself, an emotional Aubrey elaborated on how her beginnings in Hollywood on the mid-2000s MTV reality show Making the Band under her former mentor continue to fuel her body images issues.
"This is a hard topic for me," the 41-year-old continued. "I was the sexy one, and that needed to be who I was at all times."
And now, she’s second guessing her decision to seek out a more natural look after meeting her Rewind Retreat costars.
"I've literally learned about so many amazing procedures that these people have had," the singer told Terry. "It's almost talking me into plastic surgery."
Jokes aside, Terry reminded her, "Well, the point of being here as you know is designed to help you maybe rewind some of those things that may have gone sideways."
Despite still being a big fan of going under the knife, Aubrey did admit to one regret.

"Well, when you say the word 'sideways,' I immediately think of these f--king lips on the top of my face," she shared. "They're, like, very uneven, they stick out, they're very ducky. You know, not all surgeons are built the same and some don't have the balls to tell you we need to stop here."
While she’s still weighing her options when it comes to surgery, she has a clear POV when it comes to Diddy, who was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
"I’m still unpacking the magnitude of it all. The cultural weight of this decision is immeasurable,” she on her Instagram Stories July 2 following the jury's decision. "It is heartbreaking to witness how many lives have been impacted by their experiences with Sean Combs—only for those stories to fall short in the eyes of a jury."
See Aubrey's journey play out when Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on E!.

Will Smith
Months after Combs' arrest, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star stated publicly that no longer had any affiliation with the disgraced rapper.
"I just wanna say this very clearly," he said during a December 2024 show, per TMZ. "I don't have s--t to do with Puffy. So you all can stop all them memes."
As he put it, "I ain't been nowhere near no damn ‘freak off.' Listen, I do enough of my own s--t, don't be putting me in other people's bulls--t."
The crowd erupted upon his mentioning of Combs, and Smith emphasized, "I ain't been nowhere near that man, ain't did none of that stupid s--t."

Wendy Williams
The former talk show host spoke out in October 2024, telling the Daily Mail it was "about time" for legal action against the disgraced rapper.
"What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people "Wendy you called it,'" she added to the outlet. "Including some people in my family who have said the same."

Kesha
When it came to her 2010s banger "TiKToK" which opens with the line, "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy," Kesha thought it was time for a lyric change amid the allegations against the rapper in the months before his arrest.
At Coachella 2024, the "Woman" singer instead sang, "Wake up in the morning like F--k P. Diddy."
And after the change went viral, she told TMZ the change was permanent. "So the fans should learn it," she added. "For my upcoming shows."

Eminem
The "Real Slim Shady" rapper also let his music do the heavy lifting when it came to his thoughts on the allegations. In his 2024 song "Fuel," the Grammy winner slammed Combs for several allegations, including rape, which, on top of his federal charges, Combs has denied.
“I’m like a R-A-P-E-R,” Eminem sings on the track. “Got so many S-As, S-As / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (Yep)."

Jay-Z
After Jay-Z was named in a since-dropped rape lawsuit, the music mogul broke his silence when it came to his association with Combs.
“Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs’ case or Mr. Combs," Jay-Z's lawyer, Alex Spiro, said in a statement in December 2024. "They knew each other professionally for a number of years."
The rapper (real name Shawn Carter) continuously denied the allegations—which accused him of raping a 13-year-old girl—until the lawsuit was dropped, calling them "false."
Shortly after the case was dropped, Jay-Z said in a social media statement, "The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims."

LL Cool J
Known to collaborate with Combs in music, the NCIS: LA star (real name James Todd Smith) briefly addressed his arrest in September 2024.
"I feel for his children," LL Cool J said at the Black Music Coalition Gala that month. "The rest I can't speak on, that's what we've got the court system for. But I feel for his kids."

50 Cent
Shortly after Combs' arrest, the rapper (real name Curtis James Jackson) shared a post on social media subtly calling out his allegations by sharing a photo with Drew Barrymore.
"Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow," he wrote in a Sept. 2024 Instagram post. "I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house." (In the indictment brought against Combs, federal investigators seized "more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant" in his home during a raid earlier that year.)

Whoopi Goldberg
The View hosts discussed Combs' arrest shortly after it took place in September 2024, and Goldberg called the indictment "extensive and disturbing."
Later, though, when it came to referencing the 1,000 bottles of baby oil found in Combs' residence she lightly said to the audience, "It ain't a crime, guys."
