Chapter 2: What are the implications of false headlines?
So it didn't hit me the way I wish it could have hit the parts that are now gone. But to now open my eyes and getting the type of hate, and it's not even just hater. I never really cared about women. I never really cared to protect DV survivors. I wanted to just talk all this shit to be famous instead of,
actually fight for justice, that I'm not I did have decided not to take the stand as if I have any fucking choice that I'm I mean, just I'm getting you fucking nasty piece of shit over and over again in so many ways. And then I go and look at these headlines, the people reporting this. I have I'm literally on my Twitter saying this is defamation.
My lawyer told me I could sue the person that first posted this, the outlet. They have quotes from Aubrey. Quotes that she gave a source close to her. Who is close to me? Because the last time I checked, my dog doesn't know English.
We laugh.
I mean, we feel your pain because... I mean, he probably knows English, but he probably knows several languages. My dog is fantastic.
We have been screaming this, that this happens all the time and you don't realize it until it happens to you. It unfairly happened to you.
It has unfairly happened to me. You and I discussed this the first day. You would be like...
Absolutely on your shit at work, and then a headline would come through that you've got a full-blown fucking bar in your room Unfair cruel and it guts you right at your talent right at what you've worked so hard to be it's not even gutting you your Physical or something as women we learn to get our physical gutted out the gate It's gutting you at your core at your talent at the thing you pride yourself on it's disgusting work and the other thing you pride yourself on your love and
Like maybe there's more to this story. Maybe the partners weren't good for these people. Like it's so cruel the way people run things. And I've watched a chain with my manager even going back and forth. He was busy when all of this came out. There are millions of people saying, why didn't you respond when I asked if this was accurate? And they're yelling and he's like, I'm sorry, ma'am.

Chapter 3: How has the public reacted to Aubrey's absence from the trial?
I didn't testify because I haven't been subpoenaed. It's pretty simple. And in regards to promoting a podcast, I came over here to do this with you guys so that we could discuss all the things that can't be brought into the trial and so that we also have created an outlet
so that people can go somewhere and hear the truth instead of having to depend on all of the outlets that are lying to you in their headlines. I think we have proven at this point that most of these people are lying in their headlines.
So if you choose to continue to believe them and stay ignorant, that is on you because we have now created a safe space for actual information to exist and you have the option to come over here and hear it. You're welcome.
And that should be said, everybody. She was not beating down the door of iHeart begging somebody, please give her a microphone. That should absolutely be said and be made clear.
I didn't even want to. You guys had to be here in order for me to come. I did not want to even be here. I'm too much in the middle of too much crazy shit, and I have no answers. But I also see that there's a lot of misinformation. And just in the press release of this alone, it has turned into a chaotic, negative event. And imagine after 20 years, people finally believe me.
And within one day of an announcement of something good that is credible and telling you the truth, finally, so that you don't have to absorb lies and headlines from journalistic sources that are not even going to the source to confirm their stories, not even reaching out. You now have a space that we all in this room have worked very hard to create for you.
And yet you now have turned on me and you're calling me a piece of shit again. You all are pick me. Children, pick-me's. Y'all are pick-me's.
We only know what that means because of TJ's 12-year-old daughter who told us what a pick-me is. You know, you talked about some of the headlines that are false.
It's like they want me to have been in the freak-offs. It's like they want me to have been involved in all of this. Or they don't believe that you weren't. Yeah, but the thing is, is you all have seen me talk back to the man on camera. It was so palpable that everybody saw me as their favorite. I had that same energy on and off camera. I'm not an actor.

Chapter 4: What is Aubrey's experience with media and defamation?
Sometimes a problem is just a problem on many sides, many angles. When I walk into situations where I don't see accountability, I fear them. It's just such an important piece for the people that wrote nasty things. I even told one of them that I went back and forth with on DMs when I had some time. I said, you know, I don't need your apology.
Go listen to the podcast and go make all your friends listen to it and correct your karma. So that's how I feel. Hold yourself accountable. Saying sorry to me does nothing for me. You already came and shit on me before you even asked. The only thing that you could do to make up for bringing nasty, ugly energy my way is to put some positive energy my way.
And positive energy right now needs to be going toward this platform because this platform is a real space where the truth can exist without headlines taking over that aren't true. Well said.
And I think that is the perfect way to end this episode. And we look forward to so many more as we continue to cover the Diddy trial with the perspective of one of the only people who can truly give it, Aubrey O'Day. Thank you. And thank you for listening.
