According to US Magazine, Dawn sets the record straight about what really went down:

"Puff did not like [Aubrey's] image ... where her image was going for the group," she told UsMagazine.com "It wasn't a personal thing," she added, explaining that O'Day's recent topless appearance on the cover of Complex magazine wasn't sending the right message to the group's fans.

"We had just did a signing with Dollhouse Teen, which is for 13, 14-year-old young girls," Richard continued. "So, we can't do that one day and then the next day do an obnoxious cover. ... [Diddy] wants the fans, and he says he can't do that if we can continue to go in the direction that we were going."

While Diddy said he would work with Woods in the future, O'Day's time is over. But the group will continue, Richard said.

"Well, Puff told me specifically that Aubrey is no longer in Danity Kane, and Danity Kane will move forward without her," she explained, adding that Diddy hasn't mentioned anything about replacing the two singers. "He has not said anything per that. But I think in my heart that he is going to do another show."
