Choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson is moving on from the disastrous turn of events that led to her firing from Diddy's MTV series "Making the Band."
In a candid interview with New York Magazine, Gibson says she will never work as a choreographer with the rap mogul again because of his supersized self-image.
"The problem was definitely P. Diddy and working with his ego," she explained. "It was really him that gave me trouble because he couldn't really understand that at certain points [the process] was difficult and hostile. I mean, the girls were amazing and the boys were not the problem. They were hard workers, and the show was definitely edited at times. It's debatable, but a lot of people know that's what it takes as a dancer."
Gibson was fired by Diddy following a heated argument that resulted in the dancer filing a complaint against her famous boss with the NYPD. The altercation, shown on an episode last season, stemmed from Gibson's frustration over not being allowed the proper time to choreograph routines.
In previous public statements, Gibson claimed the argument escalated to a point where guest judge Michael Bivins allegedly grabbed her while Diddy picked up a chair and made a threatening move toward her. She says she broke free from Bivens and tried to run, but was grabbed by the New Edition vet again before finally managing to escape for good.
