Laurie Ann Gibson On MTB4:
“It was edited…creative editing.”

Laurie Ann Gibson As we approach the season finale of “Making The Band 4,” I can’t help but look forward to the marathon of episodes if for no other reason than to see the show’s former choreographer and judge Laurie Ann Gibson.

You’ll recall Laurie Ann had a boom boom kack fight with Diddy, that abruptly led to her dismissal half way through the season…

Apparently me and my cohorts weren’t the only one’s missing Laurie Ann and her antics to whip the group into little dance machines. Just recently a video from the choreographer appeared online not only thanking the fans for all the emails and support but also pleading her case against the “creative editing” of the show as she states in this clip.

“And if you weren’t aware of it… it definitely was creative editing. I am not a diva,” says Laurie Ann in the video. “By no means would I act out. It was edited… creative editing.”

Since leaving MTB4 Laurie Ann has been shopping a reality show centered around her efforts to record a CD of her own.

We speculate that the networks are interested. She ends the video with a bit of hope.

“See you in two seconds, ’cause the gotcha gotcha is, I’m only beginning.”

  1. I feel that both of them handled the situation wrong. They were both equally at fault, but because I expected Diddy's reaction, I knew there would be mess!!! I've never liked Diddy, I think he is arrogant, egotistical and self centered. He personality reminds me of something you would pick up off the street and wipe your A_ _ with it. He is a ledgend in his own mind, so I guess that's why it doesn't bother him if alot of people don't like him, he has enough of himself to keep him company!!!
  2. watz up gurl let me tell u something u don't need diddy to complete trust me u dont need hs ass like i said before u can do bad by yo damm self and u make yo money yo own way not his way
  3. Hello Laurie Ann, they are just showing the first season of Making the Band 4 over here in Germany and I just saw that one episode where Diddy kicked you out! I cannot believe it, this is such a bs! I respect Diddy for all he has done for the music industry and as an African-American man, but the way he treats ppl is very uncool, softly-spoken. You were one of the reasons the show has been so successful and for him to act like that towards you was just shitty! I wish you all the best for the future, you definitely dont need that man, you are an incredible choreographer!!!
  4. I like Laurie Ann,and Diddy I think that they both handled the sitation very diffrently. They both were disrespectful. Laurie Ann was acting like the show was about her some of the statement that she made where uncalled for. She was like there would be no show if she was not there. Everyone knows that diddy is self centered.
  5. Laurie Ann,You where acting like you where running the show. Trust me that's alot coming from me and person that only support Diddy because he is a black man in a all white man's world. Meaning personally thinks he is an ass, self center and I could go on and on about my feeling for him. Your position went to your head, you where rude and very disrespectful to the guys. You make the position but the position shouldn't make you. Yes I do suport you because you are a sister with talent but please learn from your mistakes and Good Luck!!!!
  6. LA did what someone should have done a long time ago. Diddy got what was coming. It is only sad that it had to be a woman to read him. I was a big LA fan until this season. I did not like the way she treated the guys. I can appreciate what she was trying to do and why, but she went about it wrong. I wish her much luck in her singing career and I will watch her show. I just hope that she is able to back up her talk. Now thats the gotcha gotcha.
    She did the right thing in getting all she could get while she was in diddy's fold, but now she must spread her wings a fly. One thing we all know is if she can handle Diddy Hollywood hadbetter watchout!
  7. Omg.. im sorry.. bt Diddy has to sometimes just chill it.. and you lauri anne i dnt think you did that much wrong... i mean it was abt time someone told that guy cos he had it coming.. and besides... it makes the program more juicy :P
    i loved the making the badn 3 that one was awesome.. if theres a making the band 5 i hope that Pdidy has his head scrwed on good to let you be in the show!! Your a strong woman..you dnt need luck, youll make anything n im sure of it!!
  8. I feel that Laurie Ann was putting on a act for the cameras....I did not like how she was treatin the boyz...An i hated the way she dissed Diddy on his show...For all the haters who hates diddy! Diddy hasnt done a thing to yall so get over the drama..an move on..Shout out to Brian A love u hunnie!!
  9. The fact of the matter is, she is his employee and should have done what she is told. It's cool to be proactive in your position and try to impress the boss, however, you hold the careers of these inexperienced men in your hands. Doing a one day step, Diddy knew, they couldn't handle. Hope everything is well with you and know from now on, until you get your own show, do what your told. BOOM KAT!
  10. the ##*%# is still crazy....she did that to herself..lookin back at the show she herself should have felt embarrassed at her behavior towards the group and to diddy..the ##*%# is still crazy ..she so desperately want a show of her own..i luv diddy and the group he picked ...GOOD JOB!!
  11. i think that diddy was really mean to her because she worked hard with them and once again diddy was being an *#*~@%* and thinks he deserves all the respect in the world and p.diddy cant even dance or sing so he should just give up
  12. Well, i love Laurie Ann and Diddy... I think that it shouldn't have went down like that... Like Laurie said it was a challenge and i think learning a dance in a day is good for a challenge... That's on Laurie Ann side but now on Diddy's side... He is kind of right because it's his show and you can't tell him how to do his own show... They paying Laurie Ann to work but if she wanted to quit then that was her lose of those BILLS... you crazy on that behalf... I am hoping that ya'll are still friends or whatever and good luck on finding a new job and your cd... I know you'll do good... Love ya for always...
  13. I think Laurie Ann Gibson is a *$*#?. And needs to learn that the world does NOT revolve around her.
  14. High Five and AMEN to Cheney who said...

    "...aint nobody gonna kiss diddys ass like the rest of them..she was given no credit on what she contributed to…so by saying that my best wishes go out to laurie ann at whatever she does and keep up the good work ms.boom kack!"

    I relate!! And I met Laurie Ann. She was cool to me.
  15. Laury Ann.... Let me do a track on the album. HOT Track.. GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Laurie Ann-Gibson has been one of my favorite choreographers since I started dancing. She was TOTALLY justified in what she did and if Diddy can't handle somebody challengin him for the first time in a long time then thas on his egotistical tail! Everybody else on the show walkin around like he God or somethin need to grow some backbone like Laurie Ann. Thas the only reason people don't like Diddy, he so cocky and for what? He ain't even half-talented. He get money moochin off groups he ain't even really make. Mike Biv, Laurie Ann, Ankh-Rah, Slam, THEY all made the groups. What he do? Shuffle some cards, yell, antimidate? He ain't nobody! We all know you was friends wit Biggie...SO WHAT!? You STILL ain't nobody!! You can't dance, rap, sing, produce and you wouldn't know style, talent, or gifts if it slapped you in the face like it needs to...So i say the HECK with Diddy...the HECK wit him...
  17. what i don't understand is why are you all so mad at puff, i mean laurie ann start getting the big head because he started giving her a little more duties, she was his assistant/choreographer so some of the things she said and did was not appropriate, when he asked her why she did not practice with the boys the whole week-end and she stated that they should be able to get in one day and that she was testing them, she was totally out of line, she had definitely overstepped her boundaries and the way she talked to the young man who quit was deplorable.

    also a lot of you state that you hate puff, that he arogant and full of himself and no talent, but the real is he has an abundance of talent and that talent is to sell and market himself, and it is people like you who buy it. even though you hate him you still buy sean john and secretly listen to his music you read the articles about him, i applaud people who get they swagger on full tilt, and make that paper. that is the american way, so even though you think he can't sing, dance, etc... he still clocking them dollars and i aint mad at him at all, matter of fact i wish he could tell/show me how to be down, i truly want some of them ends.

    just my opinon
  18. i think dat woman shudn have stolen the show, she was over doin it and ye she deservd to go, one man show, so ye! Big up diddy!
  19. Listen puffy haters, this is the man who found/produced JODECI & Mary J... Nuff said. The whole Laurie situation could have been handled better, besides she didn't have a good enough reason for not training the guys for the weekend. Probably had a hang-over.
  20. I think that was good, that diddy got you up out of there you was doing those guys wrong to me at least. You should have been like that on them girls because they still can't dance.
  21. Oh my gosh,

    I cant believe some of the comments I am reading, U go Laurie Ann. Only because you are worth hundreds of million pounds or dollars it does not give you the right to talk to people in that manor. I dont see anyone complaining about the tasks and the risk factors involved in them. I think it was good Laurie Ann stuck up for herself, and you remained dignified also, if everyone else wants to hide in Diddy's shadow let them, only you know what your talents worth.
  22. Laurie Ann got smart with her employer and was FIRED! end of story. In my opinion she pulled these disrespectful antics to get somewhere/recognized.
  23. my opinion of da whole situation is that firing Laurie ann was the best solution. the way she acted and what she said caused her to get fired. yea diddy was bein rude to her pretty much wit every comment he wld throw her way the whole season of MTB4, but i see it as treat those the way u wanna b treated. someone is mean to u, treat em nice and let em know that it aint gettin to you or be nice no matter what mean things they throw ur way and eventually they realize they cnt make u snap or step all ova u. if she had reacted in a nicer manner myb they could of resolved the situation and she wld of stayed. but i think laurie ann overstepped her bounderies by getting big headed and stating that without her there would be no show. she aint the only choreographer in the world or the best, a new and better one can always be found. also, i really wanna know her reason for not teaching the boys da routine over da weekend. did she rly have a hangover like someone said? was she jus being lazy? or was she really testing the boys to see if they could accomplish it in one day? if it was a legit reason then it should of been stated but obviously it wasnt. but then again this is diddy's show and she was his assistant/choreographer, meaning she worked for him. diddy is just at fault for how he handled the situation when she was yelling at him. cursing and hollering at her just didnt go to well. it jus added fuel to the fire. it would of looked better if he just handled it calmly and just said calmly your fired please leave or resolve the situation. but still does not give him da right to disrespect her, especially on tv. myb his money was blocking his thought process or sumthing i dunno but i know we all ppl regardless of how much money we got and we shld b treated wit respect. so what he asked of her should of been done. its diddy's show and he aint bout to get disrespected or shown up by any one.
  24. You lot are wrong it was not just her fault anyway i still like her no matter wat go bless her in her future and make it big
  25. I love your personality!!
  26. Laurie Ann's ego got to her she thought she made the show. Diddy does have an ego but he should he's built someting out of nothing there is billions of laurie Anns but there one Diddy. Im glad he fired her lame ass she only had one thing to do "teach the dances" and she couldnt even do that
  27. yea sure it was creative editingsure it was....... yea right........you are a straight up diva and me personally Danity Kane didn need you (well yea the did kind of) but the guys from making the band 4 seriously dnt need you and as a dancer my self, i would say your dances are for beginners.
  28. YOU WAS OUT OF LINE! P DIDDY DID THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE HE IS THE MAN! AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE MAN
  29. I am a fan of both artists. Diddy and Laurie Ann have many positive qualities that promote their success. However, in a business conduct, you can not be outraged by your own personal criteria. You must abide by the rules and regulations of the business/business owner. It is not that others around Diddy walk around like slaves. They abide by the rules set and are adaptive to changes. Laurie made a personal choice to test the boys. She is clearly passionate about what she does. I believe the boys will have to learn a routine in a similar situation. However, her objective was not requested by Diddy. She should not have done anything without permission from Diddy. Despite of how a person feels, if you have a problem, you address it professionally. That is where both Laurie and Diddy were wrong. As an employee, you must abide by the rules and adapt despite of personal views. As an employer, you must recognize your workers in utmost respect. Employees are selected as a loyal staff that actually helps the business grow. Without them the owner would not succeed easily. Everyone must be respected in order to grow in their personal/professional relationships. Everyone must be acknowledged for their efforts.
  30. u an ok danca girl but diddy did do da right thang fo dos boys
  31. i think they are both diva's
  32. I think that Diddy gets to be a bit stuck up at times just because he has big figures. He needed to be put in his place. Maybe he needs to rewind the tape and learn how to humble himself. Big ups to you ma.It took a strong woman to stand up and let him know that just because you have money do not mean you can talk to people any kind of way. I wish Laurie Ann all the luck in the world!!!
  33. Diddy is too big headed yeah he is good, he has money but that doesnt mean he can talk to people anyhow he wants.. Laurie big up to u - u done right dont let no one ever talk to u in a way u dont like dont stand for it... Diddy take note and realise because u say jump people are going to reply HELL NO!!!!!! Wish u all the luck in the world Laurie.. it was bound to happen someone needed to tell Diddy he aint all a that...
    1Luv Vash
  34. is it just me, or did anyone else notice how much laurie ann gibson changed when she started teaching boys instead of girls? she wanted those boys to think of her as a sex kitten, she wanted the girls to respect her as an artist. it was def. werid how she would blurt things out and try to talk over diddy. she was for sure "going through something" during the taping of this show. as for diddy, bad move on delaying the choice for the band. i mean, who even cares anymore. i dont even remember the guys anymore. should have finished it up while we were all still interested and the topic was hot and fresh in our minds. now what, are you gonna play re-runs for 3 weeks until the finale plays. no thanks, im over it
  35. I want to know when will the making the band 4 group release a single.
  36. I just want to say that tv always cut out the things that are positive to let people see the negative. From my perspective of the situation I thought the Diddy was wrong and lost a great choreographer. There are good dancers but Laurie Ann made great dancers. I would have never thought and will never think that she would react that way. I still think she is the best and will always be, so keep your head up and look ahead because the highest things in life that you are reaching for will come down. AND YOU WILL SUCCEED!
  37. Well personally I think Diddy did the right thing when he let her go. She was becoming overbearing and acting as though the show was all about her. she was also very unprofessional in not keeping her word after telling Diddy that she would have practiced the guys for the weekend, she tried doing it in one day. I blame her for Julius' elimination because after that whole injury escapade where she pushed him too far, he lost his confidence.
  38. dont enen trip laurie, diddy was lucky to have had such a great choregrapher on the show. He need to take some advice from you with his non dancin self. You handled him like he should have been handled. Hes an arrrogant person, and im glad you put him in his place. Its about time somebody did. You dont need him, if anything he needed you because without him you still are gonna be sucessful.
  39. Diddy did what he had to do, the show isint called "The Laurie ann Show" Sorry hun but you need to give resepct where respect is due,at the end of the day your working in behalf of his craft so you need to respect that.And yeh she might have been good at what she does but theres always someone eles who's good if not better
    god bless
    Much respect to diddy he da maaaannnn Don't hate ya'll !!!!
  40. on da real diddy is one cocky mutha .... laurie u did u mami.... that kid diddy is a joke thinkin money buys respect...... hold ur head up...pray to GOD and we will all get there one day.... thanks n GOD bless ... we luv u in the UK
  41. well..personally I think that both of them were wrong in their own respects..first diddy was out of order for the way he handled the situation.. i think he could've handled it better, jus expressing how he felt about her going against what she did..and Laurie Ann should've jus done wat he said..because after all it is his show.
  42. You were different this year. There was something so unnatural. You acted a little like Jason from a previous show. Your ego switched into high gear. I thought you were going for most dramatic actress in a reality series.

    Sorry, but Diddy is the boss.
  43. I agree with what all of you had to say. It was Diddy's show, you all could have compromised. He seems arrogant judge not what you know and you knew how he was before you join the cast.
    My son wanted to tryout when the show was in Memphis and he is really talented but I would have had to pull out a can of ass whoop on Diddy about my child. But I still respect you for doing you.
  44. that was like real cool!and that she was a good dancer and that she should have never got fired from yelling back at diddy if she would have never yelled it would have been a loud talk and she would still be working for him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  45. she was to hard and mean. They couldnt follow her. I'm not saying she wasnt a good dancer or chore, However its a way to teach and it is not to confuss. When the new man came they caught on quick, Now you tell me if Diddy did the right thing. I think he did.
  46. Who does diddy thinks he is? He can't sing, can't rap, he's just a producer. He's nothing in Europe. He was just lucky he was friends to Biggy Smalls.
    Timbaland all the way!!!
  47. FIRST AND FOR MOST I THINK THE BAND IS GOING 2 B GREAT!WAT DIDDY DID TO LORRI ANN WAS UNCALLED 4.I RESPECT DIDDY 4 WHO HE HAS BECOME @ THE SAME TIME I ALSO BELIEVE HE LET IT GO 2 HIS HEAD!HIS SENSE OF RESPECT 4 OTHERS AND WHAT THEY R TRYING TO DO 4 HIM NO LONGER EXCIST.ITS ALL BOUT HIM AND WHAT HE WANTS.I HOPE HE ONLY REALIZES B 4 ITS 2 LATE HOW HIS FANS MIGHT FEEL BOUT SOMEONE LIKE THAT!!!!GET RIGHT DIDDY B 4 EVEN UR MOST LOYAL FANS WALK AWAY....
  48. It looked like Gibson wanted to be parallel with Diddy's seat in authority. Business is business and you have to give the boss respect.
  49. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE BAND?
  50. Kiki's comment on the 28th said it right (except 4 the lovin her part)... She was a #$$?% on past seasons, but within reason n methodically for a purpose. On MTB4 she was such a joke, a circus act of her real self going so overboard trying to steal the spotlight ..... Yeah of course she's not yelling at them 24 hours a day n we only get to see parts of the day on the show, but creative "editing" doesn't make you a bad person, it only brings it to the forefront. N Diddy didnt make a big scene or nething, he just asked her to step out and that was only in front of the guys and the few "judges". But he's Diddy for a reason. He's not gonna leave that ~?*% off the show & just tell the world she had to leave for personal reasons.... It was an dramatic story line that boosted ratings that still got us talking about it, which is what its all about in the end. Diddy wins another one.
