Danity Kane have broken up

I just saw this on MTV's website.

http://www.mtv.com/news/a...nity.jhtml


When "Making the Band" returns on February 12, fans already know two former members will be missing: Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods, who were dismissed from the group by Diddy last season. But they'll probably be surprised that Shannon Bex isn't there either, which apparently means the end of the band.

"As of right now, [Danity Kane doesn't exist]," Dawn Richard told MTV News on Wednesday (January 28). "It's devastating for me."

"You'll see me and Drea [Aundrea Fimbres] try and pick up the pieces on our own [on this season's show] — pieces that we didn't even make," she continued. "We didn't even break it and we're trying to sweep it up ourselves. Puff invited all the girls to come back on this season and they chose not to. Only two of us showed up. That's fine if that's the choice.


"It changes [our situation] completely," she said. "We have fans out there who love Danity Kane. We love Danity Kane. It's hard. We're sitting here trying to make sense of it now. It's hard. We're put in this position that we didn't ask to be in and we're being told to fix it."

Richard said that Bex apparently made the decision not to show up for the season on her own.

"I don't know why [Bex left]. I think she's just happy. I don't want to even try to answer it 'cause that's not fair to her. I haven't [spoken to her] but I heard she's doing well with her husband and she got a house. I love her, but I don't know."

Bex was coy about the issue in an interview published earlier this week.

Richard admitted that she was as surprised as anyone that she and Drea were the only members on the set. "We are the only two that showed up," she said. "The thing about it ... I thought we were all going to come back and talk, or maybe if Aubrey didn't come back, 'cause I don't know how Puff was feeling about that, if the four of us got together. I didn't know what to expect. I just know I got off the plane and found out I was the only one there and Drea came the next day."

And although Fimbres and Richard were both present for the taping of the show, it seems that Richard spent a lot of her time hanging out with fellow "MTB" castmates Day 26 trying to make the best of the situation.

"I was there every day, on my own. Sometimes Drea was there, sometimes she wasn't, 'cause she had to go fix some stuff at home," she said. "So it was me and six guys, which is great 'cause I'm a guy girl! It was fun. [But] it was very hard not knowing what the next step was going to be."

One thing that Richard is certain of is her disbelief at everything that's happened with Danity Kane in the last few months, which not only included the two dismissals but also news about Aubrey O'Day's sexuality and her forthcoming Playboy spread.

"I'm still surprised at it all. I'm still trying to recover from the first fire," she said. "So I'm still confused. I still don't know. I'm just being so honest. I have no idea."

A spokesperson for Diddy and Danity Kane's rep at Atlantic Records had no comment.

MTV News will have lots more from our interview with Dawn Richard in the coming days.

Viewers can see everything unfold on the next season of "Making the Band," which premieres on February 12.

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Diddy destroyed his own group. Way to cut off your income diddy. I guess he's gonna milk it with the reality show with the two that are left.

sad All kidding aside I liked the idea of a group with different races that could perform live and kinda straddle the pop/r&b dance stuff. Diddy just isn't consistent with groups, Day26 sounds like 112 just younger. It just seems like diddy wanted a reality show hit and once he got the group(s) together he didn't know what to do with them.

Bex should just go solo. She's got that look, kinda like a talented Britney.

Puffy Bitch can't do groups like Berry Gordy did it. His groups disband between 3 and 7 years. lol When your reality show-based groups can't stay together, you got PROBLEMS!

ya'll really think i care that much? they broke up after the album came out, truth be known, they only kept on due to contracts, but who cares groups come and go, they had a few good songs, bad single choices this time around. Considering the posts i see on this forum longing for reunions of groups long gone (and most thank god are gone) people need to get over themselves.

Its like John Lennon said after the BEatles break up "its just a rock group, it doesnt matter, you still have the records and the memories, get over it"

not saying they should, but i see some sorry ass posts on this forum calling for the worst possible reunions, just let these things go. But lets be real over the last 10+ years nothing is memorable from anyone where anyone should be going "damn why'd they break up".

It has been that way for the last 10 years. I haven't cared for any of the groups from my generation (1984- ) breaking up. En Vogue get on my nerves with their going back and forth between original members. SWV is on my shit list officially. lol XSca-who? lol Looking back, I don't see why I fell for groups like that... some posters were probably looking at these groups the way I look at groups like Danity Kane and Day 26: "huh?" LOL
