Aubrey O'Day, perhaps best known as a contestant on season three of “Making The Band” and winning a spot in the Sean “Diddy” Combs produced band, Danity Kane, is now a front-runner on NBC's “The Apprentice.”
Sean Combs fired Aubrey O'Day from Danity Kane after accusing her of trying to expand her own fame at the expense of the band. He was not happy with her newly “sexed up” image and thought she had changed from the eager and enthusiastic woman she had once been.
I can see a little of what Mr. Combs may have been talking about. On “The Apprentice,” Aubrey has a way of taking over the tasks assigned to the celebrity teams. In most instances, she is the only one vocal enough and brave enough to even put ideas on the table and has dubbed herself, as well as fellow contestants comedienne Lisa Lampanelli and singer Debbie Gibson, the “creative” members of the team. In Donald Trump's boardroom, she has been well-spoken and assertive in defending herself and some on her team.
Seeing Aubrey and her flaming red hair on the first episode, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I knew of her from her work with Danity Kane, but had also heard the reasons that Sean Combs fired her and wasn't sure what camp to believe. After seeing her perform on “The Apprentice,” I have to say that I am having a difficult time believing the reasons cited my Combs for her firing as all I see if a very self-assured, mature and intelligent 28-year-old woman.
Perhaps that was more intimidating to Sean Combs than anything else.
