Dream, a girl group, was formed in 1998 and then signed to Bad Boy as its first white act.
Their first album, “It Was All a Dream,” was released in 2001 and debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Their second album, 2003’s “Reality,” failed to chart at all, and they were dropped from Bad Boy and broke up.
“There were some shady people who maybe didn’t have the best intentions for children. And there were some people who maybe were just doing business,” Ashley Poole, a former member, told Complex in 2016.
“There was a big disconnect from Puff and us because we were from such different worlds,” continued Poole. “Puff was straight business. He didn’t care if feelings were hurt. He said what he needed to say. He would tell us we needed to lose weight.”
One of Dream’s former members, Alex Chester-Iwata, told Business Insider that working with Bad Boy was “a nightmare,” saying they “pitted each of us against each other.”
Another group member, Holly Restani, told Business Insider what she thought of the verdict.
“Sean Combs, the same as all individuals, should be held accountable for his wrongdoings, namely his abuses of power, coercion, manipulation, violence, and harm of others in positions beneath him,” she said.
“Many of these are well documented and known to many to have occurred. He was acquitted of the charges the prosecution brought in his trial. He is not free of accountability, nor is he innocent,” she continued.
The other members of Dream did not respond to a request for comment.
