NEW YORK — Former Danity Kane singer D. Woods shared new allegations about Sean “Diddy” Combs in an exclusive interview with “Good Morning America.”
D. Woods, who attended Tri-Cities High School in East Point, shot to fame as a member of the chart-topping group Danity Kane, which formed on MTV’s popular TV show “Making the Band.”
“The day we were chosen, I was like, it’s bad boy for life, baby,” Woods told GMA’s Eva Pilgrim.

Woods says what should have been a dream come true quickly became something else. She alleges that Diddy created a verbally, abusive work environment.
“I’m curious why you decided to speak up now?” Pilgrim said.
“I would say that this moment now is a time where I feel like my experience, my truth will really be heard and actually considered and, and believed,” Woods replied.
Woods is sharing her story as part of a new investigation Discovery docuseries, “The Fall of Diddy.” The series features scenes from Woods’ time on “Making the Band” that shows Diddy making comments on her weight.
“He did it in different ways with all of us, you know, picking and prodding and just a way to chip and knock away, but then praise you. I see myself standing in those dark, scary, predatory spaces. And hearing somebody say some of the most degrading things to me,” Woods said.
“How was it predatory?” Pilgrim said.
“Somebody constantly treating you like a piece of meat, only seeing, only valuing you for your sex appeal. And in, in some of the environments, you know, it was, it was even scary to be by yourself,” Woods replied.

Despite turmoil on and off the camera, Danity Kane debuted to massive success, but that momentum came to a screeching halt when Diddy fired Woods and band member Aubrey O’Day.
In the docuseries, Woods claims she saw what she says were inappropriate communications from Diddy to O’Day before they were fired.
Diddy has denied all allegations against him in the documentary. His attorneys telling ABC News: “The producers failed to provide sufficient time or details for his representatives to address unsubstantiated claims.”
They also added that Diddy “has full confidence in the facts and the judicial process, where the truth will prevail: the accusations against him are pure fiction.”
Woods has never stopped pursuing her passions, returning to her theater roots and performing on Broadway.
“What would you say to Diddy if you had the chance to talk to him?” Pilgrim asked.
“Girl I honestly do not know, but I don’t think you really have to say anything, as long as I’m holding my head up high and my shoulders back,” Woods said.
