Danity Kane’s D. Woods is breaking her silence about the girl group’s founder, Sean “Diddy” Combs in the new documentary, The Fall of Diddy.
Wanita Denise Woodgett, 39, recalled her experience under the hip hop mogul’s leadership in the 2000s as “predatory” and emotionally abusive.
Appearing on Good Morning America ahead of the doc’s release, the singer and actress opened up about the toxic work environment she endured while signed to Combs’ Bad Boy Records.
“I feel like my truth will really be heard now,” Woods said, given her former mentor’s upcoming sex trafficking trial and multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
In the documentary, Woods recalls her time with Combs as “dark, scary, and predatory.”
“[He was] constantly treating you like a piece of meat,” she further explained on GMA.
Woods described Combs as someone who would “chip away” at her confidence, praising her one moment and tearing her down the next. She claimed the environment he fostered left her and her bandmates fearful and isolated, saying, “It was even scary to be by yourself.”
The documentary also highlights Woods’ firing from Danity Kane.
Combs’ legal team denies the allegations, calling them “unsubstantiated claims” and expressing confidence in the judicial process.
The Fall of Diddy premieres on Monday, January 27, on Investigation Discovery and Max.
