A claim made on a new documentary about the disgraced music mogul Diddy has generated headlines.
On the new Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, Aubrey O'Day claimed a woman had witnessed her being sexually assaulted by Diddy, 56, when the Danity Kane singer appeared 'very inebriated' back in 2005.
However, O'Day, 41, has no recollection of this alleged assault ever occurring and she even said she would take action against the person who made the claim if it ended up being a falsehood.
The woman made the allegation in an affidavit, however it is not known if the document was ever filed in court.
Since the documentary aired, multiple news sources have covered the claim - including USA Today, Variety and NBC News.
Diddy's spokesperson Juda S. Engelmayer told Daily Mail of O'Day's claim: 'We’re not going to comment on individual claims being repeated in the documentary. Many of the people featured have longstanding personal grievances, financial motives, or credibility issues that have been documented for years.

'Several of these stories have already been addressed in court filings, and others were never raised in any legal forum because they’re simply not true. The project was built around a one-sided narrative led by a publicly admitted adversary, and it repeats allegations without context, evidence, or verification.
'Sean Combs will continue to address legitimate matters through the legal process, not through a biased Netflix production.'
Engelmayer previously slammed the documentary ahead of its release as a 'hit piece' that failed to have 'regard for truth.'
The Daily Mail has also contacted representatives for O'Day but did not immediately hear back.
Diddy has been accused of sexual assault in multiple civil lawsuits but his attorney has previously 'categorically' denied 'all claims that he sexually abused anyone' in a statement. He is now currently serving 50 months in prison for prostitution offenses.
O'Day read the affidavit on the fourth part of the 50 Cent-produced documentary.
The woman claimed at the beginning of the affidavit to have seen Diddy and another man 'sexually assaulting' the singer, O'Day read in the documentary.
The woman described her during the alleged assault as being 'sprawled out on a leather couch, looking very inebriated.'
But O'Day has no recollection of this alleged incident and even recalled not 'drinking like that at all' at the time the incident is said to have occurred.
'I don’t drink at all. It’s never been an issue with me,' she added.
The woman who claimed to have seen the incident says she walked in on the alleged assault as she tried finding the bathroom, saying she 'opened a door that was not the restroom because of what I witnessed happening in there.'
O'Day read from the document and said it was her first time seeing the words herself in person: 'I only heard it as it was read over the phone, I have not read it myself... I've put this out of my memory.'
She continued reading, which said O'Day 'looked out of it and was just lying there.'
O'Day, 41, read the affidavit on third part of documentary, and the document described her during the alleged assault as being 'sprawled out on a leather couch looking very inebriated'
'I am 100% certain that the woman I saw was Aubrey O'Day,' O'Day, reading the affidavit, added.
O'Day said she spoke with the accuser herself about the allegations - but the woman remained steadfast she was telling the truth.
'Even after I told her I didn’t have a recollection of this, I said, "Could she be making a mistake?" I asked in every way I possibly could think of, she was certain,' she said. 'She said, "you can come public with this, I'm going to stand by you, I know what I saw." Does this mean I was raped? Is that what this means? I don't even know if I was raped and I don't want to know.'
Should the claims be inaccurate, O'Day said she would take action against the woman.
'If she made it up, I would be compelled to take her the f**k down,' she said. 'And you realize the burden that that puts on my soul for the past year, which is if I expose one person who’s got a civil lawsuit, that gives Diddy and his legal team credit to take down everybody else as potential liars.

'"Says Aubrey O'Day!" Goes right back on my shoulders just like that! The weight of that man and his bulls**t. I will never get up from under it.'
O'Day said she learned of the alleged incident as Diddy faced an onslaught of civil lawsuits.
'As all of the civil lawsuits started to come down, I had a lawyer reach out to me in regards to an affidavit that they had received from a person that was allegedly a victim and that wanted me to be aware of something that she had seen,' she said. 'I was told it was an assault.'
O'Day has been critical of the disgraced music mogul, who helped launch her career after she joined his girl group Danity Kane following a competition on Making The Band.

Diddy was convicted on two counts of prostitution charges during a grueling eight-week trial in July, but was acquitted of the two more serious charges against him of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The new documentary was released on December 2 and was executive produced by Diddy's rival 50 Cent.
A spokesperson for Diddy has since slammed the project as a 'hit piece.'
In a statement to TMZ, Diddy's spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said that 'Netflix's so-called "documentary" is a shameful hit piece' which 'confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release.'
A major sticking point for Diddy is his contention that Netflix had inappropriately used footage that he has been accumulating since he was a teenager.
Instead, Engelmayer said the footage should have been reserved for Diddy to 'tell his own story, in his own way.'
He went on to accuse the streaming service of being 'plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs's life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy.'
Diddy's fall from grace came in September 2024, after he was indicted on a slew of federal charges, ranging from racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution

'If Netflix cared about truth or about Mr. Combs's legal rights, it would not be ripping private footage out of context — including conversations with his lawyers that were never intended for public viewing,' Englemayer added. 'No rights in that material were ever transferred to Netflix or any third party.'
However, while speaking to the Netflix-run publication Tudum, The Reckoning director Alexandria Stapleton said of the footage used in the film: 'It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights.'
She added: 'One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades.'
The convicted rap mogul was particularly incensed that the streamer would work with 50 Cent on the documentary, as the In Da Club rapper has long been his public foe.
'It is equally staggering that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson — a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs,' Diddy's rep said in his statement with TMZ.
He added that, 'beyond the legal issues,' the surprise release of the documentary was 'a personal breach of trust' between Netflix and Diddy.

'Mr. Combs has long respected [Netflix Co-Chief Executive Officer] Ted Sarandos and admired the legacy of [record executive] Clarence Avant,' Engelmayer continued.
The seemingly out-of-place reference to Avant, while seemingly a non sequitur, appears to be a surprisingly personal jab at Sarandos, as the late record executive was his father-in-law.
'For Netflix to give [Diddy's] life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades feels like an unnecessary and deeply personal affront,' Engelmayer continued. 'At minimum, he expected fairness from people he respected.'
Diddy's fall from grace came in September 2024, after he was indicted on a slew of federal charges, ranging from racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution.
But the jury threw out the most serious charges after three days of deliberation, only finding him guilty of two charges of transporting former girlfriend Cassie Ventura and another woman for the purpose of prostitution.
Diddy has since been transferred to a low-security male prison, FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, where he will serve out the remainder of his 50-month sentence.
He asked for the transfer because it is closer to his family and because the lock-up has a drug rehabilitation program.
His earliest release date is scheduled for May 8, 2028, unless any changes are made.
