Aubrey O'Day Says She Doesn't 'Feel Vindicated at All' by Recent Allegations Against Diddy (Exclusive)

"Anyone being exposed, or any truths being told, don't change the reality of what you experienced," the singer, who worked with the mogul, tells PEOPLE

Aubrey O'Day says she doesn't "feel vindicated at all" by the recent allegations surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs.

The "Unborn Love" singer — who was previously signed to the mogul's Bad Boy Records after he helped form her group Danity Kane on MTV's Making the Band in 2005 — spoke with PEOPLE on Saturday, June 1, at the Gurus Magazine Pride Event in Los Angeles about her reaction to the latest developments surrounding Combs, 54.

"There's no vindication when you're a victim of someone. ... Anyone being exposed, or any truths being told, don't change the reality of what you experienced," O'Day, 40, says, referencing the abuse and sex trafficking allegations Combs is currently facing.

"It's a forever thing that you have to wake up every day and choose to evolve past. It doesn't go away," she adds. "It's like childhood trauma. We don't like to think it just disappears in our thirties, but really we start realizing how bad it really is in our thirties."

A representative for Combs did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Back in September, O'Day claimed that Combs asked her to sign an NDA to never disparage the rapper and his label, a "deal" she said she encouraged her former bandmates to "not take."

After releasing two albums with her group, O'Day was removed from Danity Kane by Combs in 2008 (alongside Wanita "D. Woods" Woodgett) following tension between the women and the music mogul.

Last month, security camera footage from March 2016 was released by CNN, showing Combs physically attacking and throwing things at ex Casandra "Cassie" Ventura. The footage followed abuse allegations Ventura made against her former partner in a now-settled lawsuit filed last November.

On Sunday, May 19, Combs stated in an Instagram video that his "behavior" in the 2016 footage obtained by CNN was "inexcusable" and said he took "full responsibility for my actions."

He has also previously denied the multiple allegations of abuse and sex trafficking made against him.

Continuing to speak with PEOPLE, O'Day says, "Justice is so much bigger than one man," and adds that "a bigger lane needs to be opened for the discussion beyond the abusers, which is how to create a safe space for music artists to evolve, be credited properly, be paid properly, and to not ever feel in fear or in obligation to anyone that has power over them and their dreams."

"I don't know what he's feeling. I just know what all of the victims felt, and I can see a clear path and direction for this industry to go in that could create a safe space for artists, and I'm going to fight like hell to see it in my lifetime," she continues.
