Aubrey O'Day Doesn't 'Feel Vindicated' By Diddy's Allegations (Exclusive)

Aubrey O'Day says she doesn't “feel vindicated at all” by the recent allegations surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The “Unborn Love” singer — who was previously signed to the mogul's Bad Boy Records label after helping form his MTV band Danity Kane Make the group in 2005 — spoke with PEOPLE on Saturday, June 1, at the Gurus Magazine Pride event in Los Angeles about his reaction to the latest developments surrounding Combs, 54.

“There is no justification when you are victimized by someone. … Anyone being exposed, or any truth being told, does not change the reality of what you experienced,” says O'Day, 40 years, referencing the abuse and sex trafficking allegations Combs is currently facing.

“It's an eternal thing that you have to wake up every day and choose to evolve beyond. It doesn't go away,” she adds. “It's like childhood trauma. We don't like to think it goes away in our 30s, but actually we start to realize how bad it is in our 30s.”

A representative for Combs did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

In September, O'Day claimed Combs asked her to sign an NDA to never disparage the rapper and his label, an “agreement” she said she encouraged her former bandmates to “not accept.” .

After releasing two albums with her group, O'Day was dropped from Danity Kane by Combs in 2008 (alongside Wanita “D. Woods” Woodgett) following tensions between the women and the music mogul.

Last month, security camera footage from March 2016 was released by CNN showing Combs physically attacking and throwing objects at ex Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. The footage followed allegations of abuse Ventura made against his former partner in a now-settled lawsuit filed last November.

On Sunday, May 19, Combs said in an Instagram video that his “behavior” in the 2016 footage obtained by CNN was “inexcusable” and said he took “full responsibility for my actions.”

He also denied multiple allegations of abuse and sex trafficking made against him.

Continuing to speak with PEOPLE, O'Day says, “Justice is bigger than one man,” and adds that “a broader avenue must be opened for discussion beyond the perpetrators, about how to create a safe space for music. “Artists must evolve, be properly credited, be paid properly, and never feel afraid or obligated to anyone who has power over them and their dreams.”

“I don't know how he feels. I just know how all the victims felt, and I can see a clear path and direction for this industry that could create a safe space for artists, and I will I fight like hell to see it in my lifetime,” she continues.
