Aubrey O'Day stands at approximately 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm) tall and weighs around 145 lbs (66 kg). Known for her striking looks, Aubrey has often been in the spotlight for her fashion choices and body positivity. Her body measurements are approximately 36-26-38 inches, showcasing her curvy figure which she proudly embraces.
O'Day was discovered in 2004 on the MTV reality show Making the Band 3, founded by Sean "Diddy" Combs, and emerged as the show's breakout star. During Season 2 of Making the Band 3 while the competition was still ongoing, Blender magazine contacted O'Day to pose for their September 2005 issue.
The magazine described her as the contestant "who bared calm resolve and tanned hip bones in beating out almost 10,000 girls for the chance at singing and strutting in a P. Diddy–steered girl group". O'Day expressed anxiety about competing to be in the group. "I've been in the 'cut' situation several times", she stated.
"It's hard to stand in a room and know that the dream I want is all in [Combs's] hands."
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
Aubrey O'Day keeps her family life relatively private, but she has shared snippets of her upbringing, which influenced her career choices. In 2025, she is rumored to be dating fellow musician and songwriter, who has preferred to stay out of the media spotlight. Aubrey has had high-profile relationships in the past, notably with DJ Cassidy and Pauly D from Jersey Shore, but it appears she is looking for a more private romance currently.
O'Day began performing at age five. "I lived on the stage, and even at six, slept behind the seats of the theatre", she stated in an interview. According to her mother, when O'Day was four, she was at a performance of The Nutcracker and started to cry.
Her mother asked her what was wrong and O'Day replied, "I'm sad that I'm sitting here and not up on stage." O'Day recalls that moment as the one in which she "officially" realized her love for entertainment.
Net Worth and Salary
As of 2025, Aubrey O'Day's net worth is estimated to be around $4 million. Her wealth stems from her successful music career, reality television appearances, fashion ventures, and endorsement deals. Aubrey continues to monetize her brand through various projects and is known for her savvy business acumen.
Career, Business and Investments
Aubrey O'Day's career took off with Danity Kane, but she has also made waves as a solo artist with several hit singles. Beyond music, she has ventured into the world of reality television, appearing on shows like Celebrity Apprentice and Marriage Boot Camp. In addition to her artistic pursuits, Aubrey has invested in her clothing line and beauty products, further diversifying her income streams.
Speculation arose that Combs firing O'Day was a ratings ploy and that he had no intention of truly dismissing her. When discussing her career, O'Day would still refer to herself as a "member of a girl band" and "the official party girl of Danity Kane".
On the October 14, 2008, episode of Making the Band, however, O'Day's departure from the group was confirmed, as well as bandmate and then-best friend D. Woods. In the live section of the episode, Combs explained that the reason he let O'Day go was that she was not the same person he signed, that the fame had changed her.
When O'Day came on to reply, she stated: "I would rather be hated every damn day of my life for being real than loved for being something I'm not." In a backstage interview before the finale, she said: Tonight is a representation of the end of a chapter in my life; it's not the end of the book.
I will do everything possible to make my mark on this industry, and Danity Kane and [Combs] provided me with this amazing opportunity to go out and really touch people's hearts. I think the way that we were able to inspire people was something that I will never be able to achieve in that way again in my life.
MTV News gauged fan reactions to the dismissals of O'Day and Woods. Fans left impassioned, long and detailed comments on the MTV News site about their discontent regarding the group's breakup.
The 2009 season of Making the Band was expected to include new members auditioning as "replacements" for O'Day and Woods in Danity Kane, but instead showed the official end of the group.
The complete breakup of the group was originally thought to be the result of O'Day and Woods, along with group member Shannon Bex, declining the offer to return to the series and the group. This was later argued by O'Day, who stated that while she was unsure if Woods was asked back, she herself was not asked to return.
O'Day said that if offered, she would have returned and is not against returning. She was officially released from her Bad Boy Records contract by Combs in the April 16, 2009, episode of Making the Band.

On the October 7, 2008, episode of Making the Band, after continued debate with O'Day about the well-being of the group, Combs declared O'Day no longer a member of Danity Kane. An official announcement, however, had not been made from Bad Boy Records. When asked by Boston Herald whether she was still in the group, O'Day was reluctant to answer and stated, "I can't comment on anything, I'm sorry."
