Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin sues Nicole Scherzinger over 'extortion'

A lawsuit from the choreographer who founded the popular girls' group alleges that Scherzinger is bailing on a relaunch unless given majority ownership and complete creative control.

Nicole Scherzinger agreed to a reunion of The Pussycat Dolls, the big girl group musical act of the early 2000s. Then, COVID-19 hit. Now, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court,  she’s threatening to walk away from the big tour unless she’s given a majority share and complete creative control in relaunching the group.

The complaint comes from Robin Antin, who founded The Pussycat Dolls. The suit will determine the group’s future as its target is Scherzinger, undoubtedly the biggest breakout from The Pussycat Dolls and a prominent face on various music-themed competition shows. Antin, represented by notable attorney Richard Busch, alleges that near the end of 2019 that she and Scherzinger came to a deal for a reunion tour and new Pussycat Dolls business venture. Scherzinger would get 49 percent, under a short-form agreement she’s characterizing as a Memorandum of Understanding.

Scherzinger did promote the tour, it’s acknowledged in the complaint, but then the pandemic halted music touring worldwide. She “now refuses to participate in the tour,” states the complaint, adding she “demanded to renegotiate the terms of the MOU.”

According to the complaint, Scherzinger now wants to be a 75 percent owner with final decision-making authority, and she’s refusing to participate in the reunion tour unless she gets what she wants. Robin says the tour dates were planned but because of Nicole’s “extortion” the dates can’t be confirmed, and Live Nation is said to be demanding $600,000 that it put up.

Scherzinger’s attorney didn’t immediately have comment.
