Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Antin Reach Confidential Settlement Over Failed Pussycat Dolls Reunion Tour

Nicole Scherzinger and Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin have officially settled their lawsuit concerning the group’s failed reunion tour, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The two reached a confidential settlement following years of legal disputes over the planned 2021 tour.

Background of the Lawsuit

In 2021, Antin, 64, filed a complaint alleging that Scherzinger, 47, refused to participate in the reunion tour unless she was granted complete creative control and a larger share of the group’s business venture.

At the time, Antin claimed that Scherzinger demanded 75% ownership of Pussycat Dolls Worldwide, in addition to final decision-making authority. Antin argued that her refusal caused Live Nation to seek the return of the $600,000 investment made toward the tour.

Scherzinger’s legal team denied the allegations, calling them “ludicrous and false,” and insisted that Scherzinger had already invested over $150,000 into the potential reunion.

Settlement Details

According to PEOPLE, the settlement was finalized in court documents filed on September 19, 2025, with Scherzinger filing a request to dismiss the complaint with prejudice on October 29, 2025, effectively ending the lawsuit. Legal representatives for both parties declined to comment further.

This resolution comes one year after the two sides initially reported reaching a settlement in principle, which had been delayed due to the “multi-faceted structure and terms of the settlement” and professional commitments, including Scherzinger’s Broadway performance in Sunset Blvd.

History of the Pussycat Dolls Reunion Attempt

The Pussycat Dolls, originally founded as a burlesque troupe by Robin Antin in 1995, became a chart-topping girl group by 2003. Scherzinger, along with Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt, Carmit Bachar, and Melody Thornton, achieved international fame with hits like “Don’t Cha” before the group disbanded in 2009.

Efforts to reunite the group began in 2019, with Scherzinger initially awarded 49% of Pussycat Dolls Worldwide and a share of tour profits. A single was released, and the group performed on The X Factor UK in February 2020. However, delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and disagreements over creative control ultimately led to the tour being canceled.

Scherzinger has since continued her career as a solo artist, television judge (The Masked Singer, The X Factor), and Broadway performer.

What This Means

The settlement brings closure to a years-long legal battle between Scherzinger and Antin over the failed Pussycat Dolls reunion, ending public disputes over creative control, business shares, and tour investments.
