Jessica Sutta, a former member of the popular girl group, said she felt “blindsided” when she learned about the reunion tour.

The Pussycat Dolls recently announced their comeback as a trio featuring Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt.

The group is set to perform 53 shows worldwide as part of their PCD Forever Tour. However, Jessica Sutta and Carmit Bachar are not part of this new lineup.

Speaking on a podcast, Jessica Sutta claimed that her political views played a role in her exclusion. She said her support for Robert F Kennedy Jr may have made her a “liability” for the group.

“I was a liability,” she said, adding that people often label her because of her opinions. Jessica Sutta explained that she stands by her beliefs despite criticism and does not regret her stance.

She also shared that Nicole Scherzinger tried to contact her on the day the reunion was announced, but she chose not to respond. Jessica Sutta said the situation is “very bittersweet” for her.

The Pussycat Dolls originally had six members before disbanding in 2010. The group had a brief reunion in 2019, but this new comeback again excludes some former members.

Fans have reacted strongly online, with many questionings why Jessica Sutta was not included and debating whether personal views should affect professional decisions.
