Kalenna Harper has recently spoken out in defense of Sean “Diddy” Combs, distancing herself from the allegations made by her former Diddy-Dirty Money bandmate, Dawn Richard. Richard’s lawsuit against Diddy accuses him of physical and sexual abuse, specifically citing incidents where Harper and she allegedly witnessed abusive behavior toward Cassie Ventura. However, Harper has firmly denied these claims, stating that while she respects Richard’s personal experiences, they do not align with her own.
In a public statement, Harper emphasized that her perspective on working with Diddy has been vastly different from Richard’s. She explained that although they were in the same professional environment, many of the events mentioned in Richard’s lawsuit do not resonate with her experience. Harper clarified that she did not witness any abusive or unlawful behavior from Diddy, and some of the allegations Richard raised do not reflect what she saw during their time together(Rolling Out)(Rolling Out).
Harper’s connection to Diddy goes beyond her music career. Her husband, Tony Vick, is reportedly good friends with Diddy, further complicating her position in the situation. It’s clear that Harper is trying to remain neutral and avoid taking sides, but the lawsuit puts her in a tough spot, especially given her personal and professional ties to Diddy.
In addition to navigating the drama surrounding Richard’s claims, Harper has also been dealing with her own legal challenges. She has been involved in a court battle to regain custody of her children, which has added stress to her personal life. Harper has been open about her struggles, and her fans are well aware of the toll it’s taken on her family(AllHipHop).
In sum, Kalenna Harper’s stance is clear—while she respects Dawn Richard’s right to speak out, she firmly denies being a witness to any of the abusive behavior Richard claims took place. Harper’s decision to speak out reflects the complex dynamics at play, especially considering her husband’s friendship with Diddy and her own legal battles. How this all unfolds will be something to watch as both legal cases move forward.
