Dawn Robinson’s ex-husband wants to help the former En Vogue singer after learning she’s been living in her car for nearly three years.
This week, the R&B vocalist revealed her situation in a vlog, explaining that she initially lived with her parents in Las Vegas until her mother kicked her out following disagreements. After being homeless temporarily, Robinson’s former co-manager convinced her to return to Los Angeles, paying for eight months of hotel stays, but she claims he was trying to “trap” her.
Dawn Robinson’s ex-husband Andre Allen is offering support after learning the former En Vogue singer has been living in her car for almost three years.
According to TMZ, Allen, who was married to Robinson from 2003 to 2010, has offered her a hospitality job. Allen left the music industry (he was formerly in R&B group IV Xample), a move TMZ reports “saved his life and finances.”
Allen, now working for Hilton Brands and engaged, has previously loaned money to struggling music industry colleagues and witnessed others face severe housing issues. He believes Robinson’s charismatic personality would suit a hospitality sales position, as he doesn’t think she’ll earn enough as an artist.
Though Allen claims he tried to help Robinson avoid homelessness, she expressed in her vlog that car living makes her feel “free.”
“This is not like, ‘Oh my God, poor Dawn, she’s living in her car and it’s terrible,'” she explained. “I’m learning about who I am. I’m learning myself as a person, as a woman.”
