Jessica Sutta Says Her MAGA Politics May Have Cost Her Pussycat Dolls Reunion: 'I Triple Down on It'

Former Pussycat Dolls singer Jessica Sutta has suggested that her MAGA-aligned political views may have contributed to her exclusion from the group's 2026 reunion tour.

As the trio continues performing across the UK in October, Sutta has criticised the smaller line-up and spoken about the disappointment of being left out.

Sutta discussed the reunion in an exclusive interview with The Sun, published on 6 October 2026. Speaking while promoting her new single, Don't Take Much, she said she would not return to her previous performance role behind Nicole Scherzinger.

Her comments followed a March podcast appearance in which she suggested her support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had made her a 'liability.'

Jessica Sutta Says Pussycat Dolls Reunion 'Broke My Heart'

Sutta said she's frustrated that the Pussycat Dolls are continuing without her, especially after her former performance role alongside Scherzinger.

'I'm not going to lip sync Don't Ya behind Nicole ever again,' she told The Sun, which printed the song title as Don't Ya, apparently referring to the group's 2005 hit Don't Cha.

Her remark reflects her account of her previous role rather than independently establishing how the group's live vocals were performed.

Sutta also acknowledged how deeply the reunion decision had affected her. 'When it first happened, it broke my heart,' she said.

Despite her disappointment, Sutta praised Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt's performances. She nevertheless argued that the reunion would be stronger with Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton included alongside the current trio.

Her preference for five performers was not an explicit demand for her own reinstatement. Sutta was one of the six members associated with the group's international breakthrough in the 2000s.

The Pussycat Dolls achieved commercial success with singles including Don't Cha, Buttons and Stickwitu before their original run ended in 2010.

The group announced its latest reunion on 12 March 2026, returning as a trio and releasing Club Song. Sutta, Bachar and Thornton were not included in the new touring line-up.

Jessica Sutta Claims MAGA Politics Made Her a 'Liability'

Sutta previously addressed her absence during a 22 March appearance on The Maverick Approach podcast, suggesting that her political affiliations had complicated her prospects of rejoining the group.

The Nashville-based singer has openly supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who serves as US Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Donald Trump.

'I align with Bobby Kennedy, which is aligning with MAGA,' Sutta explained during the podcast. She also refused to distance herself from the political label when discussing criticism of her views.

'Yeah, I am. I triple down on it.' Kennedy ended his independent presidential campaign in 2024 and subsequently endorsed Trump.

Sutta believes her public association with Kennedy affected how she was perceived ahead of the reunion. However, her assessment does not establish that political considerations determined the group's membership.

Scherzinger, Roberts and Wyatt have not publicly confirmed that Sutta's political views influenced the decision. The current members have offered broader explanations for their comeback.

During a March interview with SiriusXM, Scherzinger discussed helping initiate the reunion and described the timing as an opportunity to celebrate the group's music.

Wyatt has also spoken about unity and rebuilding relationships within the group. Those remarks were not specific responses to Sutta's allegations and should not be interpreted as such.

Jessica Sutta Focuses on Solo Music as Pussycat Dolls Tour Continues

Away from the reunion controversy, Sutta is concentrating on her solo career. Her October interview coincided with the promotion of Don't Take Much, as she continues developing material for her forthcoming album.

The record, titled SuttaPop, is reportedly scheduled for release in 2027. The singer is also looking towards opportunities to reconnect with audiences through live performances.

Meanwhile, the Pussycat Dolls' official tour schedule lists three remaining UK concerts. The trio is scheduled to perform in Newcastle on 9 October, Manchester on 10 October and London's O2 Arena on 13 October.

Although Sutta has made her disappointment clear, it remains unconfirmed whether her political beliefs played any role in the reunion decision. For now, Scherzinger, Roberts, and Wyatt continue their comeback tour, while Sutta prepares her next solo release.
