Aubrey O’Day delivered one of the most heartbreaking moments in Netflix’s explosive new documentary series when she learned for the first time about a witness account alleging she was sexually assaulted by Diddy.
The former Danity Kane singer became visibly emotional while reading an affidavit on camera in “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” the four-part documentary series executive-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson that premiered Tuesday (December 2). The moment captured O’Day grappling with the devastating possibility that she was assaulted during her time working with the Bad Boy mogul.
According to the document O’Day read aloud, an unidentified person claimed to have accidentally walked into the wrong room while looking for a bathroom and witnessed Diddy and another individual “sexually assaulting” the singer. The witness account described O’Day as appearing “out of it” and “just lying there” while allegedly being assaulted by Diddy and another man. The 41-year-old singer, who has no memory of the alleged incident, struggled to process the information in real-time during filming.
Director Alexandria Stapleton told NBC News that the production team spent hours on the phone with O’Day to ensure she was comfortable sharing such a personal and traumatic revelation.
