Aubrey O’Day, formerly of Danity Kane, took time out of her busy schedule to blast bloggers for being too negative.
She tells MTV.com:
“I think that we have become obsessed with Internet blogging. And I think that there is so much negativity out there, and it’s doing no one any good. It’s not doing the people that sit there and think of the nasty thoughts and spend the 10 to 20 hours of their day typing them up (any good).
“It’s not doing the people that read them any good (either), because it’s just consistently putting negativity in the air. It’s not really doing anyone any good, and, you know, we are all so addicted to it. And maybe sit back and ask yourself why.” (LINK)
I totally agree. Negative bloggers are popular because there is so much negativity in the world and people are drawn to bloggers hating on others as a means of temporary escape from reality.
But constant negativity is not healthy for us. It’s the reason why I try to infuse a little humor into my posts and hope that people don’t take what I write so seriously.

I agree with what she is saying but most people know that blogging is all for fun and we should not take everything literally………….
Snooooooooooootyyy .. lub u gal !!! (Waving all hard)
Aubrey WHO ? ? ?
Sandra who takes you and your photoshop pics seriously?
But Aubrey you have no songs on the radio you should be happy someone gives you attention
I will miss Puffy clowning on making da band. Loved that show and Laurie Anns boom kat. As a dancer I would love for her to teach me a dance so I can say boom kat kat all day.
Morning Fam! Hey snooty good to cyber cya again. I look at blogs as entertainment and time to talk to my cyber fam.
Hey Shunda .. good morn !
Yeah RIGHT Sandra…you’re not Negative! I mean those things you write about Beyonce, Jay-Z, Usher, Tameka Foster, Obama (his family included) and everyone else with the exception of Rihanna…those things aren’t negative…LMFAO! Ur sooooooooo funny!!
I agree Sandra I think a lot of what you post is dry humor but no one’s worried about Audy or whatever her name is!
Amen Aubrey!
i love Aubrey i hate that she was kicked out of Danity Kane. i’m glad she’s using here notariaty from Diddy and gettin paid. Since Piddy loves to use people and not pay them.
Hey Shunda.
@Diva – yet ppl still go and work w/ and for him. So I cant be mad at Puffy..lol Luvs him a straight fool.
Aubrey was a bit extra at the end and I use to like her but she was working my last nerve on reserve when it was all said and done. I wish her the best though.
See I almost wanted to hate on Aubrey for being too close to 50 Cent on ‘The Money and The Power’ Show on MTV.
(joking) I have dry humor too.
@Kym.. Hello lub you more (waves frantically)
But you have to admit, Sandra IS comical….
@shunda …. Hey lady nice to see you again……
E-Hug to all my SR family!…… TGIF
Why are we talkin about this irrevelant tramp…. Sandra alot of people dont get you, but the loyal fam do!!!
@mizzdallas damn, how you really feel…lol I was trying to be nice…
@kcicero
You know I had to come in be igginic (ignorant)
Seriously, she needs to get over it. People will talk shyt whether you deserve it or not, so she needs to chill.
She is tacky and attention seeking. She puts herself in the shark tank.
um, yeah, okay…..
WOULD SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW THE HELL WOULD SHE KNOW WHAT THE BLOGGERS ARE SAYING IF SHE HERSELF WASN’T LOGGING ON EVERYDAY!????? NOBODY FORCES HER TO LOG ON, YET AND STILL SHE DOES IT…OBVIOUSLY, YOU’RE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF IT.
SHE SAID IT’S NOT DOING THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE IT ANY GOOD, NOR IS IT DOING THE READER ANY GOOD…WELL WHY YOU LOGGING ON!? MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. THIS SOUNDS LIKE HYPROCRISY AT IT’S BEST.
BY THE WAY, AUBREY, YOU’RE FAT WITH BASICALLY NO WAIST, AND YOU NEED TO PUSH BACK FROM THE TABLE. AND FIX YOUR LEFT WONKY EYE, IT’S HELLA SMALLER THAN THE OTHER; DAMN SKANK, TRYING TO READ SOMEBODY!
Lol hey dallas I don’t need webstas version, LMAO but on second thought others might.
I agree. People do need to stop taking things so seriously when blogging….all that internet thuggism threats don’t mean anything..Aint like you know who everyone is to go to they place to do something. I’ve seen some internet balls growing a lot lately…hiding behind the computer talking trash..
I have seen so many artists and struggling artists reading MTO, SR.com, Allhiphop rumors, byron crawford, etc on their laptops/iphones etc, it’s amazing. They love the insta-coverage, but they cringe at some of the comments.
Net, net, they’d be crused if you stopped reporting/remarking on them. Especially C- listers like Aubrey.
When you are in the limelight, it is expected that people are going to talk about you, good or bad. I’m sure it’s tough….
Snooty came back to visit the old squad! Hey, snooty!
Heeey mizzdallas!!!
hahahahah…too daggone funny..you pose for pics looking ancting like a raccoon faced ho and now u mad cuz we call u out on it?
My mommy always told me people talked about Jesus Christ and he died on the cross for them. People that don’t believe in Jesus please don’t jump on me I respect your views
@shunda, I understand you with the ‘please don’t jump on me’ It is so easy to be misunderstood on here at times.
But that’s true. Mouths are just going to talk.
BTW, people please don’t jump on me for saying my lil corny stuff, that’s just the way I talk. ;o)
Sandra your a hoot!…LMAO..your as negative as they come so kill that vybe!….thats why we come here so often – to “feel” like we are checking you , and secretly wondering what the hell your going to say next!…sad thing is sometimes we hate right along with you and/or agree…no biggie!
I definately agree with her and even posted a blog on my MySpace page about the hateful blogs that I myself read daily. It can’t possibly be good for the soul. A couple of years ago I had to decide to try to keep it light. No attacking people just for fun. If I have a serious opinion about a person or topic that just happens to be negative, that is one thing, but to tear people down just for the hell of it, naw. I try to avoid that. I also try to avoid cyber fights by any means necessary. I respond to hate with love in an attempt to difuse the situation before it gets out of hand.
Even on this very blog I have watched people transform. They aren’t as nice as they used to be. The show me that daily hate does effect people’s behavior.
Anyway, no bad words for Aubrey here. She is 100% right as far as I’m concerned.
@DivaMama …. Hey lady!!!!!!!!! Yeah I have a little free time right now… SO I can play for a while……
I’m not pulling out the Dharma Wheel or anything…but I will say this…
Anything in the extreme isn’t good…a healthy life is all about balance…
And if I’m in the public’s eye…as long as they spelled my name right…I would stick to that old adage of…
“There’s no such thing as BAD publicity”…
So, I will leave it at that…and not put down what I originally wanted to say…which was…
“Aubrey who?”
So I guess the way Sandra blast Obama its all in fun.
Was she saying this while promoting her playboy spread?
& Aubrey Puffy called you a slut on national tv to your face. You get back what you put out.
If it walks like a duck….. its a duck.
Not to call you out, but Shunda is like the resident angel/girl-scout of the crew here. So innocent, down to the bespectacled innocent picture and far flung middle america location. Not to mention the IT/programming career. Too sweet. You are ok for believing in Jesus on here, I think… LOL.
@ Shunda and intown Yup I get downs with Jesus…and am looking forward to his return so unless there are any atheist or agnostics in the building…I don’t think you’ll get bashed.
Negative bloggers are popular because there is so much negativity in the world and people are drawn to bloggers hating on others as a means of temporary escape from reality.

no comment.
The internet has gotten serious. When I was in high school, me and my friends would go on chats and wild out.
But now it seems that people take this seriously like their life is on the line… It’s serious on here! I do think it’s silly we fight on blogs. I tell my sister, and she barely listens to me talking about this, LOL LOL LOL Our convo goes straight into real world life, not a BLOG.
I told my sister they posted my picture and she laughed so hard. Sometimes I can’t even believe it gets that serious.
i take no comment back.
if that makes you feel better about being negative then GO FOR IT.
hey seattle slim. see you have popped up. dallas, bird, 2bme has showed up today. all others.
@shunda i shole hope you did not slide no more and your nerves are better. that had me shook lady. i was worried about weatherman and diva….
Aww thanks intown. I try not to ruffle any feathers. I love being on here. I learn a lot about people and find that I am not as weird as I once thought I was lol.
@ Bird,
me and you…eye to eye.
Hey kweezy.
I am working from home again it is 30 below with the windchill. Diva nad weatherman are good. Weatherman is watching the real weather man right now. He is so focused it is funny. Diva has vowed not to go outside at all today. I told her she could get her some Pastries today and she told me to order them online and pick them up for her lol.
I can see her having frustration but when you CHOOSE to become a celeb and thrust yourself in front of the public, then expect the public to voice their opinions of you. Negative or positive stories about you comes with the territory of being a celeb. Nobody forced/is forcing you to be a celeb, if you can’t handle the heat, then get the hell out the kitchen!!!
I wonder if she got only praises from bloggers would this be an issue for her? Right or wrong, the way she carries herself in interviews and in public, makes her an easy target for negativity.
runaway has 4 pairs of pastries (you talking bout the simmons girls shoes right?)
girl if diva is up there fashion-wise with a 14 yo…you got a mess shunda. a big ole MESS on your hands.
LMAO at weatherman being focused. i can see him now. LMAO.
@ Daisy
Yeah sometimes i did want to slap here ass!!!!!
@kwall
yes the simmons girl shoes. She only shops at limited too, hollister, and american eagle. She is a mess at 11. She has also requested a pair of Nike vandals. I told her to get a job and she said didn’t my daddy send his check if not I need to make a phone call. I just laughed at her.
@ Shunda I’m LMBAO at that last part.
Celebs don’t worry:
“Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.” Hyman Rickover
@shunda … SOunds like my daughter at 14 she loves juicy couture.. she told me the other day that everyone at her school carries a juicy bag for their books and clothes for basketball practice and she wanted one too so I told her okay how much is it? When she told me I told her didn’t you just get 2 juicy purses her ungrateful butt said they are too small for school. I paid 165 for one of them and 195 for the other. I can’t be mad because I created this mess now I am trying to clean it up
Please don’t attack, but that quote is what they always would tell us girls at school.
@snooty
I agree I created the mess. When Tommy was popular when she was 1 I put her in all of it and Polo. As my friend would say about her daughter I didn’t bring her up right lol
totally agree. Negative bloggers are popular because there is so much negativity in the world and people are drawn to bloggers hating on others as a means of temporary escape from reality………….
@Snooty and Shunda…
There isn’t anything wrong with giving your child the BEST. Everything should be done in moderation, IMO. At least that is how I am with my kids.By the way snooty, love the new pic
Hey Fam I am back from Target and like somebody else said Aubrey who?
@snooty and shunda i know runaway’s problem…she was the only child for ten years. so now she just does not get it when i say…”too pricey..” or just all out “hail no!” cause if i buy one something gotta buy for both.
she was pure HEATED we went to rack room and i got boots and a pair of slingbacks….she wanted to know why SHE couldn’t get the second pair….”it IS half off…”
i told her to walk around the corner to the chic fil a….cause they hire 14 yo’s.
@kwallace…and Chik-fil-a is always hiring
@Daisy: anything good in Target? Haven’t been since I went Christmas shopping.
sidebar has everybodys local station been jamming to Biggie all week? Every mix I have heard this wk has been a Biggie mix.
@Yvonne I went to get last min stuff for my trip to DC. I did see a few new things in the home section that I liked. I love Targets home section but im cheap..lol
@yvonne
I think I waited to late for moderation lol. I try.
@Daisy Biggie has been the 5 o’clock mix for the past 2 weeks.
@kwall
Diva was the only child for 4 years and it is still like she is the only child because she has a brother. She never has to share.
Hey Kwall! Sorry I’m late, I popped in before I commuted to work!
Where are my manners? Hello to everyone!
I had an additional thought. I think it’s one thing to talk negatively about someone who is positive and doing good things. I don’t think it’s negative to call bullsh*t. And that’s what some of these celebs are: Aubrey, Rihanna, Beyonce, (c)rappers, reality stars, et al. Celebrity isn’t what it used to be. You have a bunch of folks who don’t deserve to be celebs who are. I think the population is tired of the BS.
iscream Says:
So I guess the way Sandra blast Obama its all in fun.
*******************************************
No, it’s not all in fun. I’m actually telling the truth about Obama but some people can’t take the truth.
By the way, on Monday I’ll post a list of all my smilies.
what if some of this ‘gross’ stuff posted on blogs is true? Like, what good does it do society at large if, indeed, some of the ‘gross’/’nasty’ stuff going on is actually true?
gross stuff like tonguing your dog, people taking pictures of folks taking a shit, pictures of people dressed overly provocative and nasty looking…some of that gross stuff.
what good does it do anyone for that to even be pictured and released to the public?
ew!
^^^^
That’s different. There are crazy people everywhere — even on the Internets. Aubrey’s talking about celebrity bloggers in general.
i understand @sandra, but she needs to consider some of the retarded crap she puts out here, to even get people going. Like WTF kind of pictures/publicity photos…?
There may be endless negativity on the part of the bloggers; but there’s endless indecency (her image) on her part.
besides, the negativity is used by celebs in promoting themselves. they canbenefit when someone posts half-truths, or flat out lies – don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. that’s why celebs have good PR people.
