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

Plans for the Pussycat Dolls’ reunion tour, dubbed “PCD Forever,” were unveiled earlier this month alongside 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 of President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda made her a “liability.”

“None of us were told about anything ... and that’s kind of how it was, always,” Sutta said, as seen in a snippet of the interview. “I align with [Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.], which is aligning with MAGA. Do I love what Trump is doing? Absolutely not. I do not believe in war. [But] we didn’t have a chance for the [vaccine] injured community to get help without him, even though he doesn’t want us to exist.”

“People are screaming at me, ‘You’re MAGA, you’re MAGA.’ Yeah, I am,” she added. “I triple down on it because I’m so sick of people telling me who I should be.”

Sutta didn’t speculate on why Bachar and Thornton were not invited to join the reunion tour, which she deemed a “cash grab.” She also noted she’d only received a phone call from Scherzinger on the day the tour was publicly announced.

“I don’t plan to call her back,” she added.

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

Sutta, a Florida native, has shared a number of social media posts in support of both Kennedy and Trump. Last year, she spoke out against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in an interview with the Daily Mail, claiming she’d 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 many people in the industry, way bigger than me, with a bigger outreach, with vaccine injuries. But they won’t speak out.”

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

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

Scherzinger, meanwhile, has enjoyed a professional resurgence thanks to her chilling portrayal of 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 to be briefly at a loss for words when asked why The Pussycat Dolls had reunited as a trio.

Wyatt, however, soon interjected, noting, “This is what it looks like now in 2026.”

“I think, ultimately, we’ve got to protect our peace, and when something like the Pussycat Dolls has so much history — we have ruptured in the past, and right now we are repairing,” she added.
