Dawn Richard is shattered by Danity Kane break up

Remaining Danity Kane member Dawn Richard is devastated by the disbanding of the group last fall. The group, which was put together by music mogul Diddy, on a season of MTV’s Making the Band, lost members Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods after they were fired. Not soon after, singer Shannon Bex quit, making Danity Kane a duo, with Richard and Aundrea Fimbres remaining.

Now that the band is history, the two young women will attempt to pull it all together and launch a new chapter in their musical careers on the next season of Making the Band, on MTV.

She told MTV.com: “You’ll see me and Drea (Fimbres) try and pick up the pieces on our own – pieces that we didn’t even make. We didn’t even break it and we’re trying to sweep it up ourselves. It changes (our situation) completely. 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.”

The next season of Making the Band starts February 12th on MTV.
