Jessica Sutta, a former member of the Pussycat Dolls, has expressed her feelings after being left out of the group’s upcoming reunion tour. She suspects that her political beliefs, particularly her support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have made her a “liability.”
On March 12, the Pussycat Dolls revealed their “PCD Forever Tour,” which will feature only three members—Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts—while sidelining original members like Sutta, Kermit Bacher, and Melody Thornton.
During a podcast called “Maverick Approach” on March 22, Sutta, now 43, mentioned that neither she nor Bacher or Thornton were informed in advance about the reunion. “No one called us. No one said anything,” Sutta expressed, adding that they felt completely blindsided.
She recounted hearing whispers about a reunion and suggested that she had tried several times to reach out to Robin Antin, the group’s founder, but only managed to speak with her the night the news broke. “She didn’t give me all the details, but I just started crying. How can you even do that? It feels disrespectful,” Sutta said.
Sutta revealed that Scherzinger tried to contact her the day after the announcement, but she was too heartbroken to respond. “I’m not going to call her back,” Sutta said. “I have love for Nicole; it’s bittersweet for me. I was genuinely happy when she won her Tony.”
In June 2025, Scherzinger won her first Tony Award for her role in “Sunset Boulevard.”
“I was definitely cheering for her, but the entire situation made it clear why I wasn’t part of the group anymore,” Sutta reflected. “They showed me who they really are.”
Recently, Sutta has opened up about serious health issues arising after the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. She believes her support for RFK Jr. contributed to her exclusion from the reunion. She has been active in promoting him during his presidential campaign, attending events and sharing his message online.
“This is a cash grab, let’s face it,” she said about the tour. “I felt a responsibility to speak up.”
“I support Bobby Kennedy, and he aligns with MAGA,” she continued. “Do I agree with everything Trump does? Absolutely not. I’m not for war. But there are people who need help and aren’t getting it.”
“People shout at me that I’m a MAGA supporter, and I’m like, yes, I embrace that because I’m tired of others dictating who I should be,” Sutta explained.
She expressed disappointment, noting that she never had any interest in politics, but felt compelled to engage because it had become central to her life.
While praising RFK Jr.’s presidential campaign, she admitted feeling a mix of emotions about his support for Trump. “I think he’s a fantastic person, but I worry he’s too kind-hearted for this role.”
Sutta was part of the Pussycat Dolls from 2003 until 2010, during which time they evolved from a burlesque group into a successful music act. After leaving, she launched her solo career, releasing two albums, “Feline Resurrection” and “I Say Yes,” both of which garnered multiple No. 1 hits on Billboard’s US Dance Club Songs chart.
She previously reunited with the Pussycat Dolls for a planned comeback in 2019, but the group disbanded by 2020.
