Pussycat Dolls 2026 reunion tour sparks controversy over excluded member's claims
The Pussycat Dolls have announced their 2026 reunion tour, titled PCD Forever, featuring 53 dates across the globe. Only three of the original members—Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts—will take part, leaving former member Jessica Sutta publicly claiming her exclusion stems from her political views.
Sutta, who left the group in 2009, has recently become known for her outspoken criticism of COVID-19 vaccines and support for controversial political figures.
The PCD Forever tour kicks off on June 5 in California and wraps up on October 13 in London. Alongside the returning trio, guest artists Lil' Kim and Mya will join for select performances. Kimberly Wyatt addressed the lineup changes, stating the group has always had an 'ever-changing' roster and that this is simply 'what it looks like now in 2026.'
Nicole Scherzinger faced questions about the absence of original members during a *Today* show interview but struggled to provide clear answers. Jessica Sutta later revealed she only learned of the reunion when it was publicly announced. Another former member, Carmit Bachar, confirmed she was also not informed in advance. Sutta has since spoken out, alleging her political stance—including vocal opposition to COVID-19 vaccines and support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—led to her exclusion. In early 2026, she detailed severe health issues she attributes to vaccination, including heart and nerve damage. Some media outlets have labelled her views as aligned with 'MAGA' ideology, though she has not expanded on broader political or health policy discussions.
The PCD Forever tour moves forward with a reduced original lineup and high-profile guest stars. Sutta's claims about her exclusion remain unaddressed by the group, while her public statements on vaccine injuries and political affiliations continue to draw attention. The tour's 53-date schedule remains unchanged, with performances set to begin in June.
