Dawn Richard, one of the remaining Danity Kane's members, reached out to MTV, saying that she is devastated when finding out Shannon Bex didn't show up with them on the set of "Making the Band". She said, "As of right now, [Danity Kane doesn't exist]. It's devastating for me."

"You'll see me and Drea [Aundrea Fimbres] try and pick up the pieces on our own [on this season's show] - pieces that we didn't even make," Dawn continued. She also shared P. Diddy has invited all the three girls to the set of "Making the Band" but it was only she and Aundrea who showed up.

On question why Shannon didn't come, Dawn refused to answer it. She stated, "I don't know why [Bex left]. I think she's just happy. I don't want to even try to answer it 'cause that's not fair to her. I haven't [spoken to her] but I heard she's doing well with her husband and she got a house. I love her, but I don't know."

Rumor about Shannon Bex's exit from Danity Kane has been swirling in the media since October 2008. At that time, Shannon was said to resign from the group because she is fed up with the internal dispute between the remaining members and their boss, P. Diddy.
