The Grammy-nominated R&B singer revealed to fans that she’s been living in her car for the past three years.  “This is not like, ‘Oh my God, poor Dawn. She’s living in her car. It’s terrible. Oh, woe is me,'” Robinson said in the nearly 20-minute clip. “I’m learning about who I am. I’m learning myself as a person, as a woman.” While Robinson did not detail the circumstances that led to her living in her car long-term, the singer said she first took refuge in her vehicle in 2020 after living with her parents in Las Vegas. Robinson said her relationship with her mother, which allegedly became turbulent, led her to taking shelter in her vehicle. After about a month of living in her car, Robinson said she was persuaded by her former co-manager to move to Los Angeles, where he rented a hotel room for her for a period of 8 months. Despite the living arrangement, Robinson said she moved back into her car in March 2022 after the unnamed manager allegedly refused to help her find an apartment. “I felt like he was playing games,” Robinson said. “Sometimes I think people want to trap you and keep you in a situation where you’re vulnerable and depending on them, and I wasn’t the one.” Representatives for Robinson were not available for comment at the time of publication. Robinson co-founded En Vogue alongside vocalists Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron and Maxine Jones in 1989. The R&B-soul group, known for hits such as “Hold On,” “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” and “Giving Him Something He Can Feel,” has scored six top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and reportedly sold 20 million records worldwide.
