Danity Kane’s D. Woods and Aundrea Fimbres Speak Out on Diddy, Say They ‘Suffered in Silence’

The reunion tour created space to address long‑suppressed experiences following recent disclosures plus legal outcomes involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Overview

  • Speaking to PEOPLE during Danity Kane’s 20th‑anniversary Untold Chapter tour, D. Woods says she spent years suffering in silence about their early career under Bad Boy Records.
  • Woods says the public allegations against Combs were not a surprise, describing an atmosphere that matched behavior later documented and reported.
  • Aundrea Fimbres reflects on the group’s early lack of control, saying they were not managed correctly and often worked without sleep, conditions she would not accept now.
  • Woods references the release of 2016 surveillance video showing Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura, who later received a $10 million settlement, noting the isolation Cassie faced as a solo artist.
  • Context includes Dawn Richard’s 2024 federal complaint alleging long‑term abuse and unpaid compensation, as well as Combs’ conviction that led to a 50‑month sentence, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine.
