Former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta said she believes her political views contributed to her exclusion from the group’s upcoming reunion tour, following the announcement of a limited lineup earlier this month, as reported by Page Six.
On March 12, the Pussycat Dolls revealed plans for their PCD Forever Tour, which will feature Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts.
Several original members, including Sutta, Carmit Bachar, and Melody Thornton, were not included in the announced lineup.
Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement
During a March 22 appearance on “The Maverick Approach” podcast, Sutta, 43, said she and other former members were not informed in advance of the reunion plans.
“None of us were called. None of us were told about anything,” Sutta said. “In fact, we were blindsided.”
Sutta said she had heard rumors of a possible reunion and attempted to contact group founder Robin Antin, 64, but was unable to reach her until shortly before the news became public.
“She didn’t give me all the details, but I just — I started just to cry. I was like, ‘How dare you?’ Like you had no respect at all,” Sutta said.

According to Sutta, Scherzinger, 47, reached out to her after the announcement, but she chose not to respond.
“I don’t plan to call her back,” Sutta said. “I love Nicole. This is very bittersweet for me. I respect her as an artist. I even cried with joy when she won her Tony just recently.”
In June 2025, Scherzinger won her first Tony Award for best leading actress for her role as Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard.”
Sutta said the situation confirmed her understanding of why she was not included in the group’s plans.
“I definitely was rooting for her, but the way they did this just showed me exactly why I’m not in the group,” she said. “And they showed exactly, to me, who they are.”
Sutta has spoken publicly in recent years about ongoing health issues she said began after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. She also said she is dealing with a neurological condition.
During the podcast, she linked her exclusion from the tour to her support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his 2024 presidential campaign.
What an amazing turnout last weekend, Denver! 1,700 Coloradans came out for Sunday’s rally. Speakers included Jessica Sutta (@JSutta) of The Pussycat Dolls and our very own @DelBigtree and Theo Wilson. My son Finn Kennedy also came out in support.
