Dawn Robinson, a founding member of the R&B girl-group En Vogue, just revealed that she’s homeless and has been living in her car for the past three years.

‘I said it, oh my gosh, it’s out!’ the 58-year-old singer marveled in her YouTube vlog Tuesday.

‘If you guys were with me, what in 2020, I did like 105K interviews and in the interim I was living with my parents in [Las] Vegas and that was wonderful until it wasn’t. I love my mom but she became very angry and [she was taking] a lot of her anger out on me.ย 

‘I was her target all the time and I was like, “I can’t deal with this.” Like, I respect her too much. I didn’t understand it I still don’t, It hurt me.’

The eight-time Grammy nominee’s manager offered her to stay at his $1,700/month apartment in Los Angeles, but there was ‘not enough room’ for her since they both owned dogs.

‘So it turned into, “Okay, I’m going to put you in a hotel for the night.” And that one night turned into eight months [at $3K/month]. Oh my God, you guys I was like, “No, this is unacceptable,”‘ Dawn scoffed.

By 2022, Robinson researched ‘car life’ culture and decided to give it a shot: ‘I felt free. I felt like I was on a camping trip. It just felt like it was the right thing to do.’

The Connecticut-born belter spent her first night in her car in Malibu – most likely the Paradise Cove Mobile Home Park – which she called ‘scary.’

‘But then as I got to know what to do in my car and how to do it, like, how to cover my windows and you don’t talk to certain people,’ Dawn noted.

‘You’re careful of telling people that you’re alone, as a woman especially, and I’m a celebrity [so] I don’t just divulge that to people.’

Robinson immediately enjoyed ‘the sense of freedom’ that she felt: ‘I felt like I was on a camping trip. I just felt like it was the right thing to do. I didn’t regret it. You know, a lot of celebrities have slept in their cars.’ย
