D. Woods of Danity Kane has broken the silence about their time at Bad Boy Records.
The group is celebrating its 20-year reunion with a tour with Woods, Aubrey O’Day, and Aundrea Fimbres performing together.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Woods said she was “holding onto individually, and suffering in silence about their time at Bad Boy Records.
“There were lots of things going on in the media,” Woods says. “Lots of things are being aired out and exposed, and obstacles moved out of the way.”
“With those things having been exposed and moved out of the way, the elephant in the room was removed, you know?” she continues. “Some of the difficult things… So we were like, ‘Ugh, all right. Well, now we can just do music, and we can actually write, rewrite the story, and reclaim it.’ And that’s where the title came from, The Untold Chapter.”
Woods says “a lot of the things that came out” about Diddy “were not a surprise.”
“Unfortunately, it was very consistent with what we experienced. Even if we didn’t experience those things firsthand, the atmosphere was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, he acts like that. He does that. And he talks to people like that. He talked to us like that.’”
Woods also shared her thoughts on Cassie Ventura. Surveillance footage showed Diddy brutally assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. Cassie eventually received a $10 million settlement.
“I made a comment about Cassie, and I was like, ‘At least we had the five of us, Woods said. “Even though we weren’t the best of friends and on the same page all the time, at least we were the five of us.”
“She was a solo act. And we didn’t know what was going on. We had our own storms, she continued. “Like everybody, just trying to survive and keep their head above water. So we didn’t have the time or the wherewithal to check in and be like, ‘Hey, somebody check on Cassie.’”
