Actress and singer Naturi Naughton recently sat down with VladTV and discussed her pop star past as a member of 3LW, revealing that she went broke when she left the group and struggled to pay her college tuition. She had to start her career path over completely, working her way up the ranks as an actress to where she is today.

When it comes to leaving the group, Naughton says she turned 18 and started realizing that things weren't adding up. In short, she knew she deserved better and was no longer happy with her situation, though she does express gratitude for being able to travel and gain great experiences like touring with Destiny's Child and N'SYNC.
