Aubrey O'Day will not testify in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial — for now.
The former member of Danity Kane clarified her involvement with the trial on Friday, May 16, during the debut episode of iHeartRadio's brand-new podcast Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes present: Aubrey O’Day, Covering the Diddy Trial. She confirmed that she was contacted by Homeland Security and met with them about the case, but has not been called as an official witness at this time.
"I'm not here to testify for the Diddy trial, that I know of," O'Day told journalists Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes.
Aubrey O'Day had fans wondering how she would contribute to the trial after she posted a vague Instagram Story earlier this week. “Hey New York!!! Where y’all think I should head first?” she wrote with a scale emoji. Afterward, outlets like Us Weekly and TMZ reported O'Day had been subpoenaed to testify. On the episode, she gave context to her suspicious post.
“I posted on my Instagram that I was here in New York and enjoying myself because I wanted to make it clear to everyone that I am not here testifying,” she said.
Combs is facing five counts of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could face life in prison. Although O'Day will not testify, Combs' ex Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard have been called to the witness stand. The trial is expected to last until July 4.
