Aubrey O’Day Reflects on Donald Trump Jr. Romance: ‘He Loved My Mind’

Aubrey O’Day won’t forget the way Donald Trump Jr. made her feel during their relationship.

“Don Jr. made me feel the most beautiful,” O’Day, 41, exclusively shared with Us Weekly before appearing on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind. “He made me feel the smartest and the most beautiful, but he loved my mind more than anything else, and that’s what I love about me. The way that we loved was we loved the same.”

The pair met on the set of season 5 of The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011, when O’Day was a contestant and Donald Jr., 47, was an advisor to his father, then-TV host Donald Trump.

Multiple sources previously told Us the former Danity Kane band member and Donald Jr.’s affair began after the show at the end of 2011 and continued until March 2012.

Aubrey O’Day claimed that former boss Sean “Diddy” Combs tried to control her appearance and was rarely sober while she was a member of Danity Kane. “With Diddy, I saw multiple sides of him but I don’t know who I was ever talking to that was sober. There was always an element of something going […]

Donald Jr. ultimately called off the relationship after his wife, Vanessa Trump, found emails between her husband and O’Day. While they reconciled, Vanessa, 47, ultimately filed for divorce in 2018 and was last linked to Tiger Woods.

While O’Day said Donald Jr. made her feel confident, she explained that plenty of her other exes couldn’t do the same.

The singer said ex-boyfriend Pauly D “did not give me any confidence” when they dated on and off from 2016 to 2017 after meeting on E!’s Famously Single.

“[He] definitely brought me down all the time and made sure that I didn’t have, like, high self-worth, because I think he feared I wouldn’t stay if I did,” she claimed. “That was probably the lowest I had ever felt, and that’s why I stayed obedient for so long.”

Us has reached out to Pauly D’s rep for comment. In 2018, the Jersey Shore star, 45, told Page Six that “the way I feel is I dodged a bullet. I’m glad that I was out of that whole situation.”

Regardless of her past, O’Day said she isn’t interested in dating at the moment. Instead, she’s turned her focus on looking and feeling her best on E!’s new series.

Aubrey O’Day can’t wrap her head around the results of the trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs. “I’m floored by the jury’s verdict,” O’Day, 41, said in a preview of her appearance on Inside Edition on Wednesday, July 2, hours after Diddy, 55, was acquitted on two sex trafficking charges and one racketeering conspiracy charge.

In the Wednesday, July 16, episode, O’Day goes makeup-free for a challenge to remind herself of her inner beauty.

“I love myself without makeup. I love putting on makeup too,” she explained. “I think people probably would think I fear [no makeup] more than I do just because I’m such a visual person and promote art that’s very, like, made up. But I’m just like any other girl. I like it to come off at the end of the day.”

Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind airs on E! Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
