Aubrey O’Day Posts Unedited Date-Stamped Pic in Response to Body-Shaming Over Viral Pap Photos

From Cosmopolitan

• Aubrey O’Day shut down body-shamers and released an unedited Instagram pic while holding a piece of paper with the date and time.

• Aubrey’s post comes amid people body-shaming her after pap pics hit the Daily Mail.

Aubrey O’Day is dealing with a ton of body-shaming and inappropriate speculation thanks to the Daily Mail reportedly publishing photos of a woman identified as Aubrey with the headline “Aubrey O’Day Looks Unrecognizable as She Emerges for a Stroll With Her Dogs After Promoting Diet App With Filtered Snap on Instagram.”

The photos led to a larger conversation about whether Aubrey is editing her pics on Instagram and prompted the Danity Kane singer to share a photo of herself in a swimsuit holding a sign with the date.

“It’s so fucking sick what people will do to a woman’s body for clickbait!” she wrote along with a photo. “And that my lawyer needed this photo to defend me against it. When is this industry going to stop abusing women’s bodies! (Sorry my place is a mess, I’m currently remodeling my glam room—but I’m sure it’ll be written that I’m a hoarder next!)”

She also tweeted, “Makes me sick. I was jamming to Brandy & Monica Verzuz. Started my glam room and BOOM my whole night is ruined! Then my attny has me taking photos with date and time to prove them false. Like, I’m tired of this stupid shallow abusive industry.”

It’s unclear whether Aubrey will eventually take legal action, but her lawyer told Page Six yesterday (September 1), “The photos came to this firm’s attention last night, which is why legal action has not taken place yet.”
