The ‘net was set ablaze this week following news that Urban Pop group Danity Kane are reportedly reuniting.
Yet, while almost all of the ladies were present during the carefully calculated press shot, one member was notable in her absence – D.Woods.
Speculation has been rife as to why the singer was not snapped with her former band-mates – who reportedly have new management and are piecing together a tour and new material to support it. Yet, keen to set the record straight, Woods has released a statement declaring her status in the reunion many Making The Band fans have been waiting for.
Her words after the jump…
Talking to our friends over at Freddy O, Woods offered the following:
“It has been brought to my attention that my former group members of Danity Kane will be reuniting and while I will not be a part of the reunion; I wish the ladies blessings and much success on their endeavors.”
Presently working on several projects including stage play ‘Rebirth! The Musical’ (set to kick off at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA on May 30th), Woods cited other opportunities as her reason for not reprising her role in the x2 Platinum ensemble.
“My focus is on the future and all of the exciting opportunities it holds, I thank you all for your continued support and I cannot wait for you to hear my new music and see my theater and film projects. Please visit my website for news and updates on my upcoming projects www.missdwoods.com Blessings and Love.”
************
As integral as Ms. Woods is to the DK brew of brilliance, we also respect the fact that she has her focus vested elsewhere and ultimately wish her the best of luck with her endeavours.
That said, the cynic in us feels there’s more to the matter than the reason she provided. For, in our last interview with her, she appeared genuinely crushed at being “fired” by Diddy on live TV. A sentiment we “get” in earnest. After all, it’s folk like D that are left to deal with reality of what makes reality TV so compelling — drama.
In any case, we’ll be following this Danity Kane reunion with vested interest.

D.Who? Gurl puhlease.
Wow… My friend Lynn has just married to a handsome black man.

There is always one in the bunch that just can’t get right! Always one screaming “I’m too busy to reunite!” When we ain’t seen crap from them in forever. Girl Bye!!! What opportunities D? Flop Singles and straight to DVD films? This is gonna turn into O-Town reunion part 2. Smdh…
if this b**** was smart and knew anything about BUSINESS she would do the tour… to get her name out there again.. there is a high demand for danity kane… and AT LEAST doing the tour/ couple of tracks would get her name out there so that she could get more relevancy… but hey FLOP b****** dont think like that….
there is a high demand for danity kane
LOL!! WHERE??
You are right. Its like it would be smart to reunite, use the reunion for relevancy…. And if you really were not feeling it STILL….. then leave the group again.
Would be shady AF, but get you personal media coverage.
By high demand i meant that DK has more demand for new music than D. Woods solo career x473485795 LOL
Rachel Marron you tried that. Danity Kane is a 2x platinum selling group and went on a SOLD OUT international tour. So it’s obvious they have a wide range of fans.
WHO!?
Her lost, not theirs
Wanita, PLEASE!!!!
Lookin back she was used alot for her urban appeal but her mix was never irreplacable
I wanted Taquita ANYWAY
taquita was fug thats why she aint make it…..but her body was bangin tho
LMAO…I would prefer the original 5, but while I was reading the article I was thinking that if D. Woods doesn’t do it they should get Taquita. I liked her more too on the show and I thought she was going to make it.
@Rachel Marron
Taquita definitely wasn’t “fug” and she looked way better when she changed her hair on the last episode when the band members were announced.
is she stupid or just plain dumb? D Woods… baby girl you will not amount to ANYTHING on your own..idk who is feeding you lies, but if it wasn’t fir Danity Kane you wouldn’t be s***… let’s face it..hop back into the group and make your money. it wouldn’t be the same without you… just being honest…. you don’t sit by yourself
money isnt EVERYTHING
Money is everything when your ass is broke.
This reunion is getting alot of attention , from Billboard to Huffington Post, almost every relevant news online outlet has reported it. I’m surprise it has gotten so much press.
The group looked great and evened out with 4 members and I wish them the best. They are the last girls group I enjoyed listening to AFTER Destiny’s Child split, it’s a shame they never got to reach their full
potential.
I think D.Woods is just over the girl group thing, and still holds a grudge against Dawn, who has the most successful and critically acclaimed solo effort of all the girls. Her bitterness might cause to miss out on a great opportunity.
I totally agree with everything you just said….they getting a lot of attention and I also feel as though she is bitter towards Dawn.
dk is not as relevant as yall try to make them. they had two forgettable hits and a cancelled tour. they are gonna flop and yall know it!! what label is gonna sign them anyway…especially when aubrey is known for being a difficult diva??
They aren’t relevant and that’s the reason why I find the interest in their reunion a bit surprising.
I’m sure they will find a label that is willing to sign them just like all these talent less heffas out there.
Yet, they sold 2 platinum albums within a week.
they might not be relevant.
but if Danity Kane had anything its talent. everyone of those girls can sing circles around half the pop heads bursting into the scene.
Yet, they sold 2 platinum albums within a week
what?? both their albums went platinum yes but they did not do it in a week. where the fvck are u gettin your info from??
They’re not relevant, but they have two #1 platinum albums?
Though it may not mean much, Destiny’s Child dont even have two #1 albums (only 1). So DK does have some sort of relevancy. You juyst sound pressed thats all.
Um, we know who Danity Kane is, but who are you? I’m def checking for a new DK album. Don’t speak on things you know nothing about.

b**** stfu!! who i am is irrelevant just like who u are is irrelevant. DK IS IRRELEVANT AS WELL. where was all this love when their tour was cancelled cuz of low ticket sales??? [crickets]
I grow weary of people always working on “projects”- – she lost her mind somewhere in the delusional woods and she can cop a squat right next to the rest of those damaged members of the group. Ladies give it up– show has officially stopped- heard Disney was looking for more cruise singers!
I think they will be more than fine without D.Woods. Who does she think she is ? lol She was the least favorite member of the group anyways. She would be dumb to pass up on an opportunity like this.
Unbelievable…Wow… My friend Lynn has just married to a handsome black man.

Dk had a platinum album but idk if they’ll be able to get the same amt of exposure today especially with MTV being s*** does anyone watch their series anymore ?
Maybe they can replace her with her sister Shanell where she at?
maybe you can stfu… how nicki face doing it looked stuck on idol tonight
& Mariah looked like a OVERSIZED telly tubby squeeze in a paper bag
actually mariah looked great, why is it that insecure MEN say “fat”, when the lady isn’t fat? f**
I was thinkin the SAME thing ha ha. cuz she doin next to s*** majorly with Young Money!!!!
lol party pooper, no one will miss your a*** anyway cause you was never here boo boo. one less b**** to be acking up.
Ha! I haven’t heard from her since she walked off the TRL set, and that was how long ago? (Mind you, I said TRL set, that along tells you how long it’s been.) If anyone who don’t have the time out of them is Dawn. I guess it doesn’t matter, more money for the other girls.
Harpo who this??? I thought there was only one black girl in D.K * Plays bombs*
And the b**** gonna stay being the nobody that she is!! She will regret it cause ain’t nobody gonna buy, watch, think or care to glance at this b**** without 4 other girls next to her! This is D Woods statement saying she is done with music and fame! R.I.P B****!
Nobody will miss this has been!!!
How do i change my AVI???
DEAD at your avi!!
D. Woods. Showin her ass as the youngest and most immature of the group. F*** loyalty, FISCALLY this was a dumb move for her. But whatever. The girls never really did 5 part harmonies anyway. They don’t need 5 voices to recreate their sound and just about anyone in the group could sing her parts. #notworried
She should’ve never been in the group anyway! GOOD RIDDANCE!
she’s probably just over the group and if yall saw the damn show she probably has bad vibes from the whole get up it wasn’t all pretty were best friends yada yada. to be honest i dont think she would be happy…i liked danity kane in the moment but now it’s just dry for me now i wish they would’ve reunited years ago #shrugs
I thought D. Woods was also in another group called ‘Bad Girls’? Or something like that after Danity Kane split up. I think she was in the ‘You’ music video with LLoyd too. I always heard rumors that D. Woods & Dawn did NOT like each other at all. I guess it was their personalities that clashed a lot with each other so they always had to keep them apart in the group. D Woods had an edge in Danity Kane before she cut her hair for the second album & changed their song from Urban R&B-Pop to Dance Pop & Dawn was a lil boring at times, played it safe & kept to herself a lot like Shannon.
Thats fine. I only like those 4 anyway.
I never cared for D. Woods to be honest. When she and Aubrey were initially fired, I was COMPLETELY content with Sannon, Dawn and Andrea remaining as DK. D and Aub were the egos of the group and I didnt care for em much.Plus it wouldve been cute to have just those 3, cuz it wouldve had the Cheetah Girls effect but more mature and actually talented. But I digress, Im happy just the 4 are reuniting. STOKED.
Diddy really should have went with Shannon, Aundrea, and Dawn for their third album and it could have been aptly titled ‘3’ signifying their third album and the new lineup of THREE members.
Then had the entire group reunite for album #4. That would have been interesting.
D. Woods was FIRED!! So, why would should get re-hired? Watch the tape, Diddy went Donald Trump on her.
Actually, Not To Be Rude, But You Need To Re-Watch The Clip/Video…Diddy Did NOT Fire D. WOODS…He Retracted What He Said To Her, Which Was, “Let Me Back Up, Let Me NOT Catch None Her Energy, Let You NOT Catch HER (Aubrey) Reality. She (Aubrey) NOT Gon’ Be In This Group…..I’mma Let Ya’ll Think About That Though.”
She Basically Quit…She Was NOT Fired….
Excuse my typo…phone snapped. But you guys get the point. The lady isn’t eligible for re-hire. Not trying to be mean, but it is what it is.
Wow someone is too much to be in a group. Oh well nobody cared for her anyway
Guess she doesn’t want the potential of gaining some real coins.
Sorry D. Woods but as much as I liked you for the look of the group, those vocals will be far from missed.
Good Luck all the same though.
*Side-eye and smile*
D.Woods babygirl have several seats!
I always told my friends that if DKane reunited that Aubrey would return before D.Woods, she thinks shes sooo much bigger than the group. You’re not Beyonce honey, you’re not even Rihanna!
I betcha as soon as Danity Kane comes out with a third album and the album and singles do well, she’ll release a statement that she wants to rejoin her “sisters”.
Girl please!
they will be everything with out her anyway…she was so karaoke to me any way…Bye gwurl
Here’s the thing. I get not WANTING to be apart of the reunion because of whatever reason on a personal level but to LIE and say its because of OTHER PROJECTS is B*******.
D.WOODS girl aint nobody checking for you!!!!! You mixtape flopped not even you hometown of ATL supported that garbage and if you ask me, DAWN is the ONLY ONE who can use that ‘IM GOING TO BE TOO BUSY’ line because from the looks of her career post DK shes the only one people really know. ALL SHADE ALL TEE and lets make it clear. IT WONT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU however with that whack ass statement and the fact I get the STRONG FEELING that your EGO hasn’t changed and you’ve done little growth in the last 5 years Im not so sure thats a BAD THING at this point
DANITY KANE ‘FROM THE ASHES’ 2014 LEGGO!!!!!
Aubrey too. She had her reality show, and was around on TV like Celeb. Apprentice and talk shows here and there.
Girl, please cut the BS and get closer to that phone.
What do you mean you have “projects”? We NEEED Danity Kane, come on !!!
hmm a shame that she won’t join. But to be honest she was my least fave member.
and my least fave vocalist of the group, so I ain’t that bummed about it.
but still I would have loved to see all 5 of them give a huge middle finger to bad boy and kill it once again.
this reunion is making me so happy even if it’s just the 4 of them. Can’t wait to see Shannon kill those dance moves on stage again, to hear Aundrea’s voice soar above the rest again, Dawn killing those ad lips and AUbrey sassing up the stage. DK4 i’m ready for you!
B**** if Aubrey put aside her differences and she’s the one who got actually fired, what the f*** is your prob D? Gurl Bye!!! It wasnt like your voice was honey and unicorn p*** anyway BYE!
Thank you, this is a subject which is close to my heart.
Is there any way I can contact you? My name’s Rebbeca Barnette and I’d get into
this more deeply.
Valuable info. Lucky me I discovered your website unintentionally, and I’m surprised why this accident didn’t took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
