Meanwhile, Kalenna and Dawn can be seen reacting and exchanging glances as the raunchy dance between them takes place.

The photos have resurfaced amid mounting legal complaints and serious allegations against the Bad Boy founder, who was accused of abuse by Richard, 41, in September.
The singer, who appears at the party in a strapless black and cream dress, filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of a litany of crimes including sexual assault, depriving her of food and sleep, and withholding adequate wages.
Richard also claims that she and her bandmate Kalenna Harper saw Diddy abuse his then-girlfriend, Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura.

However, in an Instagram Story post that same month, Harper made a lengthy statement distancing herself from her former colleague’s claims.
“While I fully respect Dawn’s right to tell her experiences, I want to emphasize that her account reflects her personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved,” he said in a statement.
In her lawsuit, Richard, who first crossed paths with Combs while appearing on the MTV series Making The Band and became a member of the group Danity Kane while on the show, claims that Combs “manipulated” her with promises that it will help his musical career.
Speaking on his behalf last month, Richard’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, said Diddy ‘groped and grabbed parts of her body, sexually assaulted her and not only did he not pay her the money he had promised her, but actually prevented her from eating and sleeping during those years… I just treated her terribly.
Bloom added that Richard claimed to have seen Diddy engage in “some serious acts of violence” against women, including Ventura.
“And when she spoke out, she said they threatened her with more physical violence,” said Bloom, daughter of famed feminist lawyer Gloria Allred. —He said that Sean Combs had a cruel character and that he was very afraid of him.
In his lawsuit, obtained by DailyMail.com, Richard claimed that during the audition process for Making The Band, Combs had called the contestants various names, such as ‘fat,’ ‘ugly,’ ‘bitch,’ and also ‘h***.’
She described an incident in which she had allegedly been asked to go to the rapper’s home in Miami and found him inside only in his underwear.

Federal prosecutors have alleged that Diddy has “tampered” with witnesses, including Harper.

After asking him to put on clothes, he claimed the star denied his request and said: ‘This is my fucking house!’
His alleged treatment of her progressively worsened from 2009 to 2011, she claims.
According to his lawsuit, Richard suffered economic damages, physical injuries, pain and suffering, and severe psychological and emotional distress during his years working for the Bad Boy mogul.
Combs, who was indicted on charges including sex trafficking in September, denied the allegations.
The producer’s representatives said Richard was “making an attempt to rewrite history” and fabricated “a series of false claims, all in hopes of getting a payday, conveniently timed to coincide with the release of his album and tour.” press”.
Combs’ drive for perfection was highlighted on the MTV reality series Making the Band in 2005, where Richard became a member of Danity Kane along with Aubrey O’Day, D. Woods, Shannon Bex and Aundrea Fimbres.
Combs fired all the women in the band except Richard. He then formed Diddy Dirty Money in 2009 with Richard and Kelenna Harper, but that group disbanded two years later.
Last month, prosecutors in the case accused Diddy of obstructing their sex trafficking case from behind bars by paying witnesses and recruiting his own children in a “public relations campaign.”
Their court filing highlighted alleged examples of his “tireless efforts to contact potential witnesses, including victims of his abuse who could provide powerful testimony against him,” one of whom was identified as “Witness 2,” or Kalenna Harper.
Prosecutors claimed Diddy contacted her on September 11, a week before his arrest, and they spoke twice, including discussing writing a statement in his support.
Over the next four days, Diddy and Harper exchanged multiple calls and text messages, or 128 phone contacts.
Diddy “repeatedly asked” Harper when he planned to release his statement, which he finally did on September 13.
The post said that while it wanted to “acknowledge” Richard’s claims, some of his points “do not align with my own truth.”
