However, in a January 28, 2009 interview with MTV News, Richard announced that the group had split up. Richard explained that Combs had invited all the women to come back to the 2009 season of "Making the Band" and that only two of them, Richard and Fimbres, showed up. "It changes situation completely," she said. "We have fans out there who love Danity Kane. We love Danity Kane. It's hard. We're sitting here trying to make sense of it now. It's hard. We're put in this position that we didn't ask to be in and we're being told to fix it." On the series and in an earlier interview, Bex had explicitly stated her discontent about Danity Kane being divided. "I don't know why left," said Richard. "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 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." Richard was surprised that only two members showed up for another season. "The thing about it ... I thought we were all going to come back and talk, or maybe if didn't come back, 'cause I don't know how [Combs was feeling about that, if the four of us got together. I didn't know what to expect. I just know I got off the plane and found out I was the only one there and came the next day."
