The former Danity Kane member, who has been outspoken about Diddy in the past, appeared to react to news of Diddy\u2019s arrest<\/a> on September 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter,\u201d she shared via her Instagram Story. \u201cWomen never get this. I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer added: \u201cThings are finally changing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second former member of Danity Kane also spoke out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applaud the grand jury\u2019s new indictment of Sean Combs, which is strikingly similar to the federal complaint we filed last week on behalf of our brave client, Dawn Richard,\u201d attorney Lisa Bloom<\/strong> said in a statement<\/a> to Us Weekl<\/em>y on September 17. \u201cGiven the brutal beating of Sean Combs\u2019 girlfriend caught on video and the eight people who have now accused him of abuse in court filings, including Dawn, this arrest seems long overdue.\u201d<\/p>\n

She previously filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of manipulating, terrorizing and sexually abusing her. At the time Diddy\u2019s attorney Erica Wolff released a statement on his behalf.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him,\u201d it read, in part. \u201cMr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The radio host discussed the alleged \u201cFreak Offs\u201d that were described in Diddy\u2019s indictment during \u201cThe Breakfast Club\u201d radio show on September 17. (\u201cFreak Offs\u201d were alleged hotel room parties hosted by Diddy in which women would be forced to \u201cengage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers.\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he gets racketeering and sex trafficking for \u2018freak offs,\u2019 it will be others involved. Like if you ever ran a train with Diddy, you\u2019re probably going to jail,\u201d the comedian speculated. \u201cIf you ever been butt naked anywhere with Diddy or half butt naked with Diddy and there was some women around or some men around that he told you were part of the party, you\u2019re probably going to jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
