Dawn Richard responds to the allegations that she drugged her ex-boyfriend, Que Mosely of Day26 when they were dating.
In a now-deleted X (Twitter) post she reportedly wrote, “I want to be unequivocally clear: I have never drugged anyone nor have I ever given anyone pills to take,” she wrote. “The suggestion that I did so is categorically false. If such a belief were genuine, it would be inconsistent with the actions that followed— such as inviting me into your home, introducing me to your younger sisters and family and continuing a relationship with me.”
She continued, “It would also be inconsistent with choosing to attend social events without me, engaging with individuals I had previously expressed concerns about, and continuing to live with or provide favors to those same individuals,” she added. “Many of these actions occurred while I was not present or even in contact with you.”
“Throughout our time together and even after our separation, I made a conscious decision not to share or disclose private matters or the circumstances surrounding the end of our relationship to protect YOU. I did this out of respect for you and your family.” She ended with, “At this moment, I believe it is essential to recognize that many people are dealing with pain and hardship. This situation is not about one person; it reflects broader harm that has affected many. I sincerely hope that healing and wholeness are possible for all involved. My intention is and always has been to move forward with compassion and integrity, and I pray that others can do the same.”
The former Danity Kane member’s response comes after Mosely spoke to Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes on their podcast while covering the Diddy Trial. While speaking with them, the singer said that Richard gave him a horse tranquilizer pill upon arriving at Diddy’s house.
“Within like twenty minutes, I knocked out and blacked out,” Mosely explained. “I woke up in the twins’ bedroom in the basement, and I woke up out of my sleep screaming, very very loud… I woke up in their bed, two cameras filming me, and they were laughing as I woke up out of my sleep screaming, and it felt like… I’m not gonna cry…. it felt very sacrificial. That’s what I meant when I said I felt like they were trying to hurt me or Diddy was trying to maybe sacrifice me that night.”
Que Mosely later posted on his Instagram a detailed account of the events that took place. “There were two red pills. She never took hers. That part always haunted me,” he wrote. “It felt less like a shared experience and more like an experiment — like I was a lab mouse in some twisted trial to see how fast I’d collapse. And none of it was funny. It was terrifying. My trust had been manipulated, and my vulnerability exploited.”
