The promotional trail for Dawn Richard‘s ‘Blackheart’ album is seeing the former Danity Kane singer break her silence on the cause of the trio’s embarrassing split.

Naturally, the New Orleans native (whose punch to bandmate Aubrey O’Day disintegrated the group last Summer) is being quizzed about the incident on each of her press stops.

The latest grilling came today on The Breakfast Club.

Renown for their no-holds-barred approach, hosts Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee asked Richard about the drama directly.

Interestingly, not only did she answer, she also provided fresh insight into the behind the scenes melee that led up to the final meltdown.

The tea was titillating. Sad, but intriguing.

We maintain that DK was each member’s best bet at top-flight success, but it is what it is.

To be frank, we wouldn’t write off a reunion down the line.

    People were really anticipating their album? I’m sorry I never heard of the group before but whatever.

    Dawn was a good looking girl before but now she looks jacked up, tore up….. just bad in general. Why lie about getting plastic surgery???

      Dawn looks much better than before. You are insane.

      I suspect she got a nose job but everything else is still the same. She looks masculine without the photoshop. Thank God for mi small chin. lol.

        Its really her lack of smile… she used to smile all the time, now she doesnt seem to have the same joy, and that alone will make you look different

        The excuses. B**** got work done she should just own it. She looks 100 times better

      they had more success than sh!tnashe. their last album did better they had no promo and no videos. you need to have a seat

  2. So-bad January 20, 2015

    The other members wanted Dawn out. No way would they go behind her back and do all this and expected her to be okay with it. With the history they have, it was bound to happen. They (aubreyandShannon) created the scenario to cause tension within the group that would cause a breakup. I have no doubt Aubrey was the master mind behind that.

    Who cares who backstabbed who? The album was headed for Flopsville anyway and it arrived there as scheduled. And Dawn’s Blackheart will come crashing down as well. All these broads need to hang it up and get a job at Hooters or sumthin.

    Who really cares about danity Kane

  5. HOWYOULIKEIT January 20, 2015

    For one reason she reminds me of Dawn Robinson of En Vogue. Nice girl but stop comparing yourself to Beyonce the undisputed Queen

  6. FutureCIARA January 20, 2015

    She needs to STFU talking about them, We dont care anymore… She has nothing else interesting going on, So she is riding on that tired 2014 drama to promote her album…..

    Girl I see right through U Ms.Richards

      She has her new album, her sunglasses line and her concerts going on, so that’s that, furthermore this is a Breakfast Club interview Dawn had no choice but to answer. All the interviews she will do this year will include DK breakup as I’ve said she has no choice, they gonna ask her about it.

  7. Gee January 20, 2015

    Respect to Dawn for soldiering on independently and doing her thing.

  8. Merril Owns January 20, 2015

    about to listen to her album. I really enjoyed her interview. Love her wits and confidence

  12. DanYiel Teflon January 20, 2015

    See I like Dawn even more & her sound has always served!!

  13. Navy NIck January 21, 2015

    I had to buy the album…I really like this girl….I LOVED DIRTY MONEYS CD!

  14. Matty January 21, 2015

    great interview, i love how she actually broke it down and said straight up what happened. So unlike that letter the other two posted. just bought the album because of it! werd!

  15. HBIC_MamaPope January 21, 2015

    LOL! Charlamagne is a messy Queen! He was shading dawn and danity kane on Angela Yee’s rumour report, as if Dawn & Dirty Money aren’t the same one’s singing the Breakfast Club’s theme (which is just an instrumental for Hello Good Morning)

  16. Indie January 21, 2015

    Respect to Dawn and Aubrey for not putting it each other down in interviews but just telling there own truth, on a real it just seems like there was a breakdown in communication, If your in a group nobody wants a Nicole thats gonna drown out the other members, but at the same time when your a great vocalist and your riffs and runs are making the track sound even better you don’t wanna hold it back as Dawn said everyone has the role , i can understand it from all points of view in the end the album sounded amazing in my opinion the best pop album of last year and they would have hit new levels of greatness had they done videos and promoted it properly, its very sad and i hope that if the firs see each others interviews they decide to contact each other and talk about it

  17. Mike will Shade it January 21, 2015

    I didn’t know the other 2 who were left could sing – the one with short blonde hair just seemed to be filling a gap.

    Dawn needs to stop shopping her promo pics and then turn up here looking completely different. I do like the music she puts out on her own though.

    I still love Lemonade
