AceShowbiz - Former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta has spoken out about her exclusion from the group's upcoming reunion tour, attributing it to her political beliefs. On the March 22 episode of The Maverick Approach podcast, she suggested that her alignment with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is associated with MAGA, made her a "liability" in what she referred to as a "cash grab" reunion.

Jessica Sutta explained that while she does not fully agree with all of Donald Trump’s policies, she supports Kennedy’s stance, especially regarding vaccine injury support. She claimed the COVID-19 vaccine caused her "debilitating" medical issues and expressed frustration at being labeled solely by her political affiliations. "People are screaming at me, 'You're MAGA, you're MAGA.' Yeah, I am MAGA," she stated, emphasizing her refusal to be told who she should be.

The original Pussycat Dolls lineup consisted of six members, five of whom, including Sutta, were initially planned to tour together in 2020. However, the upcoming PCD Forever tour, set to start this summer, will feature only three members: Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt. This has fueled speculation about the reasons behind the limited reunion.

Adding to the controversy, former member Carmit Bachar revealed in a detailed Instagram post on March 17 that she was disappointed to learn about the reunion only through public announcements rather than directly from the group. This marks a pattern of former members feeling sidelined in the reunion plans.

When asked on the Today show about the decision to reunite as a trio, Scherzinger gave a vague response, saying, "Well, I mean ... listen. We are just, we are like, we are so ... as women today." Kimberly Wyatt then interjected, describing the group as having an "ever-changing lineup" and stating, "This is what it looks like now in 2026, and you never know what comes next."

Notably, Scherzinger herself faced accusations of being MAGA in 2024 due to her social media activity, for which she issued an apology. Ironically, the group is now being accused of excluding a former member for similar reasons. This twist highlights the complex intersection of politics and entertainment within the band’s dynamics.

Fans and critics alike have speculated that the group could address these controversies more openly. For example, if the trio wanted to make a bold statement during their comeback, they might even alter their lyrics to reflect the political tensions surrounding the reunion. Such a move would certainly shake up the narrative and draw attention to the underlying issues.

As the PCD Forever tour approaches, the absence of Jessica Sutta and the public statements about political exclusion continue to spark discussion about how personal beliefs can impact professional opportunities in the music industry. Whether the group will clarify their stance remains to be seen, but for now, the story underscores the challenges artists face when politics intersect with their careers.
