*The New 3LW and their management will be visiting the Wendy
Williams show today to introduce Jessica "J" Benson as the groups
new member and to answer “the many false accusations against
3LW, their management and their production company” made
by Wendy since the sudden departure of it's former member
last summer.
When asked about their upcoming interview, Tse Williams,
owner of the production company to which 3LW are signed and
sister of group member of Kiely Williams stated, “We have
always felt that Wendy completely abused and misused the
incredible forum she has at WBLS to espouse her personal
views (which clearly must be rooted is some extremely upsetting
childhood experiences). Over the past several months, she
mounted an unending campaign to destroy the careers of the two
founding members of 3LW* and her actions were solely based
on the unsubstantiated statements of a disgruntled and
lovestruck teen.”
Michele Williams, parent and legal guardian of Kiely Williams
and the group’s manager went on to say, “As a parent, I think it’s
sad that Wendy chose ratings over the lives of 2 young people.
While she was chasing market share, Adrienne and Kiely were
getting death threats. Wendy is a parent. She should have
known better. She should have picked on someone her
own size. I’ll be there to level the playing field.”
When asked how they felt about the whole “showdown,” Kiely
and Adrienne simply stated, “Those who were close to the camp
always knew the real deal. Although we’re now focused on moving
forward with our new member J (Jessica Benson), we feel it’s
necessary to close the book on the false stories that were
circulated about us and move on with a fresh start.”
Although the departed member of 3LW threatened a lawsuit
against the remaining members of 3LW, their management and
production company several months ago, as of press time, none
of the parties have been served. The New 3LW has been on a
worldwind tour of press since the unveiling of their new member,
15 year old Jessica Benson of the Baltimore/DC area at last
week’s Soul Train Awards. Since that time, they had had interviews
with MTV, ET, numerous other newpapers and magazines as well
as a live performance on Regis & Kelly last Friday March 7 and
an upcoming performance of the national anthem at the Big East
Conference Championship Game at New York’s Madison
Square Garden this Saturday, March 15.
The platinum selling group has just released the 3rd single from
their album "A Girl Can Mack," “I Want That,” which features
the QUEEN MACK herself, Lil Kim. They are in the
process of finalizing a spring/summer club tour.
*Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams were signed to Sony
Music/Epic Records as a duo before they decided to add
a third member.
