In an upcoming episode of E!’s makeover series, Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, singer Aubrey O’Day reveals the deep-seated trauma behind her obsession with cosmetic surgery. Known for her time in the girl group Danity Kane, created by Sean “Diddy” Combs, O’Day reflects on how her experiences in the entertainment industry have impacted her self-image.
During a conversation with Dr. Terry Dubrow, O’Day candidly shared that her desire for cosmetic enhancements began during her early career. “It started with being in a girl group. The demands I noticed of my looks. Diddy was…” she explained, pausing to gather her emotions. The pressure to maintain a certain appearance as “the sexy one” left a lasting impact on the 41-year-old singer.
As she contemplates her journey toward a more natural look, O’Day finds herself conflicted. “I’ve literally learned about so many amazing procedures that these people have had,” she said, expressing her internal struggle with the allure of surgery. Despite her ongoing fascination, she acknowledges past regrets, particularly concerning her lips, which she described as “very uneven” and “duck-like.” O’Day remarked, “Not all surgeons are built the same, and some don’t have the balls to tell you we need to stop here.”
The conversation also touched on the recent legal issues surrounding Diddy, who has faced serious allegations, including being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. O’Day, reflecting on the cultural implications of these events, stated, “I’m still unpacking the magnitude of it all. The cultural weight of this decision is immeasurable.” She added that it is “heartbreaking to witness how many lives have been impacted by their experiences” with Combs.
The episode airs on July 30, 2024, at 10 p.m. on E!, providing viewers with insight into O’Day’s personal struggles and growth. As she navigates the complexities of her past, the singer’s story resonates with many who have faced similar pressures in the entertainment industry.
O’Day is not alone in her reflections on Diddy. Several other celebrities have publicly commented on the allegations against him. Will Smith, speaking at a December 2024 event, distanced himself from Diddy, emphasizing, “I don’t have s–t to do with Puffy.” Wendy Williams expressed her thoughts in October 2024, stating it was “about time” for legal action against Diddy, and noted that many had believed she had predicted the controversy.
In a notable shift, Kesha altered the lyrics of her popular song “TiKToK” during a performance at Coachella 2024, changing the line about Diddy to “Wake up in the morning like F–k P. Diddy.” This change garnered significant attention, indicating a growing sentiment among artists to distance themselves from the rapper.
Rapper Eminem also addressed the allegations in his 2024 track “Fuel,” where he criticized Diddy, reinforcing that the legal troubles he faces are serious and not to be taken lightly. Meanwhile, Jay-Z has publicly denied any connection to Diddy’s legal issues, asserting through his lawyer that any accusations against him are baseless.
As the legal proceedings continue, many artists, including LL Cool J and 50 Cent, have expressed their concern for Diddy’s family while remaining critical of the situation. The recent findings, including the discovery of over 1,000 bottles of lubricant in Diddy’s home, have sparked widespread media coverage, including lighthearted remarks from Whoopi Goldberg, who noted the extent of the indictment as “extensive and disturbing.”
As the public awaits further developments in Diddy’s case and O’Day’s ongoing journey, the intersection of personal trauma and larger cultural issues remains a significant topic of discussion in the entertainment world.
