Aubrey O’Day is sharing her unfiltered thoughts on Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ children supporting him in person during his ongoing sex trafficking trial.
“The fact that the kids are marching up to that court, praying over everything and walking in with a bunch of women also that are encouraging it,” O’Day said on the Friday, May 16, episode of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes‘ “Amy & T.J.” podcast. On Monday, May 12, his daughters Chance, D’Lila and Jessie Combs left the courtroom during the testimony of sex worker Daniel Phillip.
“I don’t know any father that would want their children to sit through testimony about how much their daddy liked to watched people lubricated, f***ing, getting pissed on and urinated in their mouths, having his girlfriend cum in the other room and rub their cum all over his nipples,” she continued.
Diddy has been in jail since September 2024, when he was arrested in New York after a grand jury indicted him on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he pleaded not guilty. The trial began on May 5. He has denied all allegations and has pleaded not guilty.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was seen blowing kisses and smiling at his family during his latest bail hearing on Friday, November 22. Us Weekly was in the New York City courtroom as the rapper, 55, showed affection to his mother, Janice Combs, and six children: Justin, 30, Christian, 26, Quincy Brown, 33, Chance, 18, and twins […]
The singer also questioned why Diddy would want his children to learn this information about him in the first place. “Not saying y’all do that, but whatever the freakiest night you guys have had, would you want your children to know about it? It’s concerning to me, that the optics of them being there and supporting [their] father are obviously a very strong play for the defense,” O’Day added.
O’Day added that the jury “is seeing them in there,” something she said is “an optics game.”
“It’s an optics game, likely, but the optics on that as a father, you’re a father first and as a father, I just wouldn’t want my two girls that are only a year younger than Cassie was when he started dating her, 19,” O’Day continued. “I believe the girls are around 18. I would not ever want my child to hear anything like that.”
“It’s telling to me. It means that daddy’s being selfish and he needs, in my opinion, it feels like daddy needs you in court because daddy needs all the optics to look in his favor, and I don’t really care what you have to sit through. And that, to me, is just showing that same narcissism and ego and dare I say coercion that we’re discussing about this man. You know, his needs come first. What he wants comes first,” O’Day concluded.
Us Weekly has reached out to Combs’ legal and managerial representation for comment.
According to People, Chance and the twins left the courtroom twice while Phillip testified, both times as he was giving graphic accounts of sexual encounters. At one point when they left, Phillip was recalling a time when Combs allegedly masturbated into a corner while watching him have sex with Cassie.
The outlet noted that Diddy’s daughters as well as his mother, Janice Combs, remained in the courtroom as prosecutors played the 2016 video that showed him assaulting Cassie in a hotel. Per People, Diddy’s sons, Justin, Christian and Quincy, watched the video while his daughters and Janice stared straight ahead.
Diddy, 55, is the father of seven children. He shares eldest son Justin with ex Misa Hylton. The rapper and the late Kim Porter shared son Christian, and he also adopted Porter’s son Quincy, whom she shared with Al B. Sure. They also welcomed twins D’Lila and Jessie. (Porter died at age 47 in 2018.) Diddy and Sarah Chapman share daughter Chance. His youngest child is daughter Love, 2, whom he shares with Dana Tran.
