Speaking on Danity Kane, Gibson suggested internal ambition played a major role in the group’s unraveling, pointing specifically to tensions she says emerged early on. According to the industry veteran:

“I wish they had listened. They would still be together. This is a classic case of there are no shortcuts, ladies. I don’t believe there’s shortcuts in this business. And I believe if you stay the course, you’ll get everything that you know you desire.”

She also cited personal agendas causing a rift in the group, saying:

“Aubrey wanted to jump out there and be that star. And I’m like, you were that star, but you thought there was a shortcut.” She continued “It was a fight from day one, which I don’t judge. I just say, why does that mean everybody else is not talented?”

As for Gaga, Gibson claimed outside forces and insecure industry figures interfered with what was once a deeply trusting creative bond. She shared:

“…it only became bad because managers and handlers manipulate that relationship, right? Because you’re too close. Too much influence.” She added “I don’t even care about the influence. I just want to make sure they’re hot and not sabotaging themselves.”

Without naming names, she hinted that powerful people around Gaga felt threatened by their connection a situation she says left her blindsided.

Years later, it seems some industry wounds never fully heal.
