Danity Kane members Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods got the boot on Tuesday night's live season three finale of Making the Band.

"Puff did not like [O'Day's] image...where her image was going for the group," Dawn Richard - one of the three remaining bandmates - tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.

"It wasn't a personal thing," Richard continues, saying her sexy look (the singer posed topless in Complex last month) was alienating young fans.

Remember when these celebs posed topless?

"We had just did a signing with Dollhouse Teen, which is for 13, 14-year-old young girls," Richard says. "So we can't do that one day and then the next day do an obnoxious cover.... [Diddy] wants the fans, and he says he can't do that if we can continue to go in the direction that we were going."

Diddy pointed to O'Day's attitude as a reason for getting fired.

"I just want to work with the young lady that I signed, not the person that fame has made her," he said via satellite on Tuesday's show:

Richard says she's "still kind of shocked still...you never know with Puff."

As for D. Woods getting tossed?

Diddy said she got "caught up in the wrath" of O'Day.

But not to worry, Danity Kane fans: the group will go on.

"Well Puff told me specifically that Aubrey is no longer in Danity Kane and Danity Kane will move forward without her," Richard says.

And to find the girls' replacements?

"He has not said anything per that," Richard says. "But I think in my heart that he is gonna do another show."
