LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson recently shared a deeply personal update on her YouTube channel, revealing that she has been living in her car for the past three years. 

En Vogue is a vocal girl group originally formed with members Terry Ellis, Dawn Robinson, Cindy Herron, Rhona Bennett, and Maxine Jones. Amanda Cole was a member of En Vogue from 2001 to 2003. 

At 58, Robinson expressed no shame in her decision, explaining that the experience has given her a sense of freedom. 

In the video, she opened up about the challenges she faced while trying to move into an apartment, detailing how her efforts fell short and ultimately led her to embrace life in her car.

Following the revelation, Robinson was met with an outpouring of support and prayers from her devoted fans.

Dawn Robinson admits she has been living in her car for 3 years now

In an 18-minute, 40-second video titled "YOUR NEW LIFE IS IN THE SCARY," En Vogue hitmaker Dawn Robinson opened up about living her life out of a car.

She began by saying, "You guys, for the past three years, I have been living in my car. I said it, oh my gosh, it’s out."

Robinson explained the series of events that led her to make the decision. "That was wonderful until it wasn’t. I love my mom, but she became very angry. A lot of her anger, she was taking out on me. I was her target all the time and I was like, ‘I can’t deal with this,’" she said.

After months of living in her car, Robinson received help from one of her managers, who offered her a place to stay. However, the situation quickly soured when she realized there was no room for her in his home. 

She ended up staying in a hotel for eight months while continuing her search for an apartment. Yet, her manager kept making excuses about why the apartments weren’t right for her.

She continued, "Every apartment that I looked at, every single time I looked at a place, I would call him, and I’m like, ‘Okay, can you meet me here?’ I would tell him ahead of time, of course. And then, he wouldn’t meet me there. So I would take video and send it to him, and he’s like, ‘No, oh my god. This neighborhood, I hate it.'"

In the video, Dawn Robinson shared how she adapted to her new life living in a car, explaining that she gradually began to embrace it. 

During her research, she discovered that many people were living in their cars, which inspired her to make the leap in response to her recent challenges. 

She described her new living situation as a positive space that allowed her to focus on "awakening, healing, forgiving, and growing."

“I felt free,” Robinson said, also reflecting on the stories of other celebrities like Marvin Gaye, who had also lived in their cars.

“This is not something that I would have chosen, but I’m glad that I put myself out here,” Robinson confessed. “I have no shame. I felt like I was on a camping trip. It just felt like it was the right thing to do.” 

She emphasized that she wasn’t seeking pity from her fans, stating, “It’s not ‘woe is me.’ I’m learning about who I am, I’m learning myself as a person, as a woman.”
