Former Danity Kane member D. Woods detailed her allegedly “troubling interactions” with Diddy while speaking with ABC News’ Eva Pilgrim for a new interview. She alleged that Diddy fostered a “verbally abusive work environment” for the iconic girl group. “He did it in different ways with all of us, you know, picking and prodding and just a way to chip and knock away, but then praise you,” she explained.
Pilgrim questioned Woods about how the surroundings were “predatory.”
“Somebody constantly treating you like a piece of meat, only seeing, only valuing you for your sex appeal,” Woods told the news organization. “In some of the environments, it was even scary to be by yourself.”
She added that prior to working with Diddy, she thought of him as a “hero of our community” and looked up to him. When asked what she would say to him if she ran into him now, Woods responded, “I honestly don’t know, but I don’t think you really have to say anything, as long as I’m holding my head up high and my shoulders back.”
It didn’t take long for Diddy‘s legal team to deny the allegations.
“These documentaries are rushing to cash in on the media circus surrounding Mr. Combs. The producers failed to provide sufficient time or details for his representatives to address unsubstantiated claims, many from unidentified participants whose allegations lack context,” the statement read. “By withholding this information, they made it impossible for Mr. Combs to present facts to counter these fabricated accusations. This production is clearly intended to present a one-sided and prejudicial narrative. As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every publicity stunt or facially ridiculous claim. He has full confidence in the facts and the judicial process, where the truth will prevail: the accusations against him are pure fiction.”
Last year, Dawn Richard of Danity Kane spoke up about the abuse she allegedly witnessed from Diddy over several years. It started after she tried out for “Making The Band.” Richard claims to have witnessed Kim Porter, a former lover of the rapper, exiting a studio in 2005 with her face battered. Then, in 2006, Richard remembers how Diddy was very predatory with Cassie when they first met. She later alleges that in 2009, while under the influence of narcotics, she saw him throw the singer against a wall, choke her and then haul her up the stairs. Richard also recalls Diddy reprimanding Cassie for not preparing heated scrambled eggs correctly and hurling them at her. “I’ve been asking you for my s–t; I can’t stand you b—h, you never do it right!”
It honestly seems like there’s a new story about Diddy daily at this point.
