Dawn Give Her Opinion On Why Aubrey And D. Woods Were Booted From Danity Kane

As you all know by now, Danity Kane members Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods got the boot last night on the season three finale of Making the Band. One of the reasons why Aubrey and D. Woods were so salty was because of Diddy somewhat "favoring" group member Dawn Richard and her "special voice". Dawn talked exclusively to Us Magazine and let them know why Diddy did what he did.

"Puff did not like Aubrey's image...where her image was going for the group," Dawn said. "It wasn't a personal thing," she continues, saying her sexy look (remember when she did that Complex mag photo spread?) was alienating young fans.

"We had just did a signing with Dollhouse Teen, which is for 13, 14-year-old young girls," Richard says. "So we can't do that one day and then the next day do an obnoxious cover.... 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."

In last nights finale, Diddy put Aubrey in check about her attitude, saying that was one of the reasons why he let her go.

"I just want to work with the young lady that I signed, not the person that fame has made her," he said via satellite on Tuesday's show. Richard says she's "still kind of shocked still...you never know with Puff." As for D. Woods getting tossed? Diddy said she got "caught up in the wrath" of O'Day.

Will Danity Kane still go on? Of course they will, just without "Ebony & Ivory" D. Woods and Aubrey so coyly referred to themselves as.

"Well Puff told me specifically that Aubrey is no longer in Danity Kane and Danity Kane will move forward without her," Richard says. In regards to finding the groups two new members, Dawn adds, "He has not said anything per that, but I think in my heart that he is gonna do another show."
