Ex-Pussycat Dolls member: MAHA, RFK Jr. support made her ‘liability’ for reunion

A former member of the Pussycat Dolls says she was excluded from the group’s forthcoming reunion because of her support for Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement.

“I was a liability,” Jessica Sutta said in an interview this week on the “Maverick Approach” podcast.

Earlier this month, singers Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts announced that they were resurrecting the original six-member group behind the 2004 hit “Don’t Cha” as a trio for a summer concert tour.

Sutta claimed politics played a role in the decision not to include her in the performances.

“I aligned with Bobby Kennedy, which is aligning with MAGA,” Sutta said, referring to supporters of President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.

“Do I love what Trump is doing? Absolutely not. I do not believe in war,” she added.

“We didn’t have a chance in the injured community to get help without him, even though he doesn’t want us to exist, by the way,” Sutta told host Maverick Bailey.

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

Last year, she said that she felt as if she was “on the brink of death” after getting vaccinated for COVID-19 in 2021.

“Any physical activity I pay for the next day, and my body just flares, and it’s very disappointing because I love to dance. It’s who I am,” she told The Daily Mail.

“I was never political, but I had to because my life depends on it,” Sutta said, adding that she helped Kennedy with his 2024 White House bid. The environmental lawyer, who ran as an independent, suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump.

“It’s unfortunate,” Sutta, 43, said in her remarks this week.

In an interview earlier this month on “The Today Show,” Wyatt and Scherzinger responded to a question about why not all Pussycat Dolls members were joining the reunion tour.

“It has been an ever-changing lineup and this is what it looks like now in 2026. You never know what comes next,” Wyatt told “Today’s” Craig Melvin.

“I think ultimately we’ve got to protect our peace,” Wyatt continued, “and when something like the Pussycat Dolls has so much history, we have ruptured in the past, and right now we are repairing, and we’re sort of on the same page with that.”

“We have so much love and respect for all of the women that have been part of the [Pussycat Dolls] legacy,” Scherzinger said.

“And once a doll, always a doll.”
