The fallout from Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning continues to ripple through the entertainment industry, but for Aubrey O’Day, the experience became deeply personal and physically overwhelming.
According to TMZ, the former Danity Kane singer was rushed to the emergency room on Wednesday (Dec. 10) after experiencing severe symptoms including vertigo, fever, dizziness, migraines, chills, and persistent vomiting throughout the night. O’Day, who appears in the documentary, said the emotional weight of watching the series triggered a powerful response.
“Watching everything from Netflix unfold publicly, seeing parts of a world I only knew from inside my own limited lens, was like living it again,” she told the outlet. “But this time with context and truth outside of me.”
Aubrey O’Day Learns of Alleged Assault On Camera
One of the most devastating moments in Sean Combs: The Reckoning occurs when O’Day reads a witness affidavit on camera alleging she was sexually assaulted by Sean “Diddy” Combs nearly two decades ago.
The four-part docuseries, executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, premiered on December 2 and has intensified scrutiny surrounding the embattled music mogul. During filming, O’Day reacts in real time as she learns details she says she had never been made aware of before.
The affidavit, drafted by counsel for an alleged victim in a separate case, describes a 2005 incident at Bad Boy Studios. A witness claims they mistakenly entered the wrong room and observed Combs and another man allegedly sexually assaulting O’Day. The witness described her as motionless and appearing heavily intoxicated while lying on a leather couch.
O’Day said the experience of watching the series forced her nervous system to relive the trauma with unexpected clarity.
“I didn’t think it would traumatize me the way it did,” she explained. “Watching the pieces line up from a distance outside of myself has felt like my nervous system was reliving everything with more clarity than I ever even asked for.”
Due to the medical emergency, O’Day was unable to participate in a planned Danity Kane reunion performance scheduled to take place in Los Angeles.
As Sean Combs: The Reckoning continues to spark conversation, O’Day’s experience highlights the real-world emotional and physical toll such revelations can carry for those involved—long after the cameras stop rolling.
