Former En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson has revealed she’s been living in her car for the past three years.
The Free Your Mind vocalist made the startling admission in a YouTube video.
“For the past three – almost three years, I have been living in my car,” she started. “I said it. Oh my God.”
Robinson explained that in 2020 she was living with her parents in Las Vegas. She claimed that after experiencing some tensions, she decided to leave.
“I didn’t understand it. I still don’t and it hurt me,” she reflected on her decision to leave her parents’ house.
Robinson moved in with her former manager in Los Angeles, but with no success in finding her own home, she ultimately decided to research car life – and was impressed with the lifestyle.
“There’s a whole community of people who live in their cars and a whole community of people who live in their RVs and a whole community of people who live in their vans,” she shared. “And I loved what I was seeing. I just thought, Wow, these people. I could do this, I think.”
Robinson was an on-off member of En Vogue. She joined the band when they formed in 1989 and left in 1997. In 2002, she returned before leaving again in 2008 for a solo music career.
