RICHARD CONFIRMS DANITY KANE IS A TRIO
DANITY KANE star DAWN RICHARD has confirmed bandmates AUBREY O'DAY and D. WOODS are no longer members of the pop group rap mogul DIDDY created on TV after the pair's firing recently featured on MAKING THE BAND.
Stunned fans thought the showdown between the two singers and Diddy, aired on MTV in the U.S. on Tuesday night (14Oct08), was just a publicity stunt for the show - but Richard insists Danity Kane is now a trio.
She tells Usmagazine.com, "Puff (Diddy) did not like (O'Day's) image... (or) where her image was going for the group."
Richard, who admits she's still shocked by the decision to axe her bandmates, suggests O'Day's decision to pose scantily clad on the cover of urban magazine Complex helped seal her fate: "We had just did a signing with Dollhouse Teen, which is for 13, 14-year-old young girls. We can't do that one day and then the next day do an obnoxious cover.
"He (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.
"Puff told me specifically that Aubrey is no longer in Danity Kane and Danity Kane will move forward without her."
Meanwhile, confirming O'Day's departure, Diddy says, "I just want to work with the young lady that I signed, not the person that fame has made her," adding Woods got "caught up in the wrath" of O'Day.

Aubrey being fired wasn't a surprise for me or a lot of people for that
manners, She says she's not a hoe but acts like one. You can't say you're not
something but your actions say otherwise,the fame really did go to her head.
The plastic surgery she claims she didn't have, come on there are before and
after pictures and you can tell everything that she had done. I thought she was
beautiful the way she was but obviously she didn't, the photo shoot she did for
complex was way too much, she can't get ready to do a teen magazine shoot that
is suppose to have positive role models for little girls and do a shoot like
the one in complex.
She has to get it together, plus she was missing a lot of shows. There was a
lot that the public didn't know, I think the group will be alright they just
need to get it together.
Well I must say that I was saddened by the split of Danity Kane. I really think
all five girls were multi- talented. I think that in a situation such as this
where you kind of throw five individuals together in a group from different
parts of the world who really have nothing in common you end up with these type
of problems. I mean it is hard for groups who have known each other since
childhood to make it,let alone a group of people who did not even know one
another.I will say that sometimes I think Diddy is a little to arrogrant at
times but he has paid the cost to be the boss. I think Aubrey was always too
out spoken, sometimes it is better to be quiet. Diddy afforded her this once in
a lifetime opportunity and she messed it up. I do not think Aubrey is a tramp
but she has been acting like one so she might as well be one. She doesn't even
look wholesome like before.I do not think diddy had much choice. He had on a
few occassions try to tell Aubrey he did not like how she was acting.I believe
that Aubrey has let the fame go to her head and she probably thinks she is set
and she doesn't need diddy.I think he would have let her back in the group had
she toned down her appearance and her attitude and shown some respect for her
group and herself. I mean her best friend is a porn star. She dresses terribly
alot of the times. She was trouble for the group and it was going to bring them
down.I think during the finale she could have been a stand up woman and thanked
diddy for the opportunity for working for him but instead she said she liked
his shirt. I think the fame went to Aubrey's head and she was not humble.I
think diddy made a mistake letting Aubrey feel like she was responsible for the
group and the leader.I think Dawn acts beautifully.I do believe D.Woods was
ready to leave anyway. Danity Kane is a pop group and I think D.Woods would
rather do R&B music rather than pop.God bless this group! I love you Dawn, you
remind me of my daughter.
