Former Pussycat Dolls Member Feels Her MAGA Views Kicked Her Out of New Tour

Former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta believes her conservative political beliefs led to her being left out of the pop group’s comeback.

Plans for the Pussycat Dolls’ reunion tour, dubbed “PCD Forever,” were unveiled earlier this month along with a new single, “Club Song.” Many fans, however, were surprised to learn that the group’s six-member lineup had been reduced to a trio, with only Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger, and Kimberly Wyatt returning.

Appearing on “The Maverick Approach” podcast this week, Sutta said she and former members Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton were “blindsided” by the news before noting that her support for President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda made her a “liability.”

“They didn’t tell any of us anything… and that’s how it was, always,” said Sutta, as seen in a fragment of the interview. “I align myself with [Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.]which is aligning itself with MAGA. Do I love what Trump is doing? At all. I don’t believe in war. [But] we didn’t have the opportunity to [vaccine] hurting community to get help without him, even though he doesn’t want us to exist.”

“People shout at me: ‘You’re MAGA, you’re MAGA’. Yes, I am,” she added. “I triple it because I’m sick of people telling me who I should be.”

Sutta would not speculate on why Bachar and Thornton were not invited to join the reunion tour, which she considered a “cash grab.” He also noted that he had only received one phone call from Scherzinger on the day the tour was publicly announced.

“I’m not going to call her again,” he added.

Representatives for The Pussycat Dolls and Scherzinger did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sutta’s claims.

Sutta, originally from Florida, has shared several social media posts in support of both Kennedy and Trump. Last year, he spoke out against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in an interview with the Daily Mail, stating that he had felt “on the brink of death” after receiving the Moderna vaccine.

“I’m willing to risk my reputation so this doesn’t happen to anyone else,” she told the outlet. “There are a lot of people in the industry, much older than me, with a greater reach, with vaccine injuries. But they don’t speak up.”

The singer’s appearance on “The Maverick Show” came just days after she issued a statement on social media in which she described the tour announcement as “difficult” to hear after trying to “communicate privately for several months.”

“I just would have appreciated an earlier heads up so I could process everything privately and handle the situation with a little more grace and dignity,” she wrote on Instagram. “That being said, I truly wish the girls a successful tour and nothing but the best moving forward.”

Scherzinger, meanwhile, has enjoyed a career resurgence thanks to her chilling performance as Norma Desmond in Broadway’s “Sunset Boulevard,” for which she won a Tony Award.

Appearing on NBC’s “Today” with Roberts and Wyatt last week, Scherzinger appeared briefly at a loss for words when asked why the Pussycat Dolls had reunited as a trio.

Wyatt, however, soon chimed in and noted, “This is what it looks like now in 2026.”

“I think ultimately we have to protect our peace, and when something like the Pussycat Dolls has so much history, we’ve broken it in the past and right now we’re mending it,” he added.
