MAGA Pop Star Says She Was Canned by Group Over Politics

Key Points:

• The Pussycat Dolls are reuniting for a tour with only three of the original six members: Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts, excluding Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar, and Melody Thornton.
• Jessica Sutta believes she was left out of the reunion due to her support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine conspiracy theories and her perceived alignment with MAGA, despite her claims of disliking Trump’s policies.
• Scherzinger attempted to contact Sutta on the day of the tour announcement, but Sutta did not respond and expressed mixed feelings about the situation, respecting Scherzinger as an artist but feeling hurt.
• The decision to exclude some original members sparked criticism, with Bachar expressing disappointment over the lack of direct communication, and Scherzinger’s awkward explanation during a Today show interview went viral.
• The reunion tour has been described by Wyatt as a step toward repairing past ruptures within the group, emphasizing the need to protect their peace while moving forward.
