The internet and social media exploded with a range of responses to former En Vogue and Lucy Pearl singer Dawn Robinson’s video confessional where she admitted that she has been living in her car for the past three years.
Robinson issued a statement to People Magazine to clear up rumors and misconceptions surrounding her revelation.
“I want to make it clear: I am not homeless. I am temporarily choosing car life as part of my journey of healing and self-discovery,” the statement read. “I took a risk and jumped headfirst into this lifestyle, and WOW, what a crazy, fun, sometimes scary ride it’s been. For me, failure is NOT an option. Being vulnerable sucks, but here I GROW. This is about embracing freedom, trusting the process, and finding strength in the unexpected.”
Robinson also warned fans against campaigns that claim to be raising money on her behalf.
“I’ve been made aware that some individuals may be requesting funds on my behalf through platforms like Cash App, GoFundMe or other means,” Robinson said. “I want to be clear: I have not authorized any fundraising campaigns, and I do not want anyone—especially my loyal fans—to be scammed or taken advantage of. Your love and support mean the world to me, and I want to ensure that your kindness is not misused. Please be cautious and do not send money to anyone claiming to act on my behalf.”
