10/21: Dawn Richard, of Danity Kane, Talks About Lineup Shuffling and Hopes for the Group
Dawn Richard from Danity Kane spoke with
Essence.com and
Usmagazine.com on the current state of the group and Diddy's decision to remove Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods from the lineup. There are some highly interesting remarks. Among them:
ESSENCE.COM: Diddy is a beast when it comes to whipping his groups into shape and his truth hurts. He already let Aubrey go and then D. Woods was a no-show last night. Have you spoken or plan to speak to any of the ladies?
RICHARD: No, I haven’t. Honestly, we really don’t talk that much, but I wish them the best of luck. I showed up, and as one person, I can only do so much. If they want to get in touch with me, they will because I totally support them and always will. All of this stuff affects us because these are our lives. Diddy tells us to try to save our group and some of us don’t show up? We’re making a serious statement to him about the future of this group by doing so.
"Puff did not like [O'Day's] image...where her image was going for the group," Dawn Richard - one of the three remaining bandmates - tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.
"It wasn't a personal thing," Richard continues, saying her sexy look (the singer posed topless in Complex last month) was alienating young fans.
"We had just did a signing with Dollhouse Teen, which is for 13, 14-year-old young girls," Richard says. "So we can't do that one day and then the next day do an obnoxious cover.... [Diddy] wants the fans, and he says he can't do that if we can continue to go in the direction that we were going."
