After being named in Dawn Richards' lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kalenna Harper has now distanced herself from the situation.
The former Diddy-Dirty Money member issued a statement on Friday, denying that she ever witnessed Combs abusing his ex-girlfriend of 10 years, Cassie Ventura, or "any behavior that could be considered abusive or unlawful" while she worked with the Bad Boy Records founder.
"While I fully respect Dawn’s right to recount her experiences, I want to emphasize that her account reflects her personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved," the statement reads, according to *TMZ*.
She added, "Many of the allegations and incidents described in this suit are not representative of my experiences, and some do not align with my own truth."
Earlier this week, Richards filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of sexual assault and mistreatment, and claiming that she, along with several other celebrities, witnessed him physically abuse his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
In the legal documents, Richards alleged that she and Harper once advised Ventura to leave Combs after witnessing his behavior toward her. Richards said that when Combs learned about this, he threatened them, saying, "Y’all bitches don’t get in my relationship."
“Just make money and shut the f–k up” and “You bitches want to die today?” the lawsuit also claims.
Richards, a former Danity Kane member, further alleged that she saw Combs throw a pan of eggs at the "Long Way to Go" singer while yelling, "I’ve been asking you for my s–t; I can’t stand you bitch, you never do it right!"
She also claimed she witnessed Diddy punch the "Me & U" singer in the face and try to strangle her with his bare hands during an altercation inside his LA mansion.
Richards further alleged that aside from witnessing abuse toward others, Combs sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions.
