Nicole Scherzinger and Pussycat Dolls founder settle 3-year legal battle over canceled reunion tour, ending dispute.
After a three-year legal battle, Nicole Scherzinger and Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin have settled on the group’s canceled reunion tour.
The two parties filed court documents on Friday stating that they have reached an agreement “in principle” and are now working to finalize the details.
A source close to the situation reveals that Scherzinger, 46, and Antin, 63, resolved the dispute months ago, but needed time to iron out the particulars.
The settlement comes as a relief, as a jury trial had been scheduled for December 9th.
That trial has now been replaced with a hearing on January 28th, 2025, where the case is expected to be dismissed.
The legal battle stemmed from Antin’s 2021 lawsuit, which claimed Scherzinger refused to participate in the reunion tour unless she was granted full creative control and 75% of the profits.
Scherzinger’s legal team had dismissed the suit as “meritless,” arguing that the singer wanted to renegotiate her contract after the COVID-19 pandemic repeatedly delayed the shows.
Ultimately, the tour was scrapped altogether in early 2022, disappointing Scherzinger’s bandmates Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta, who said they found out via the “Masked Singer” judge’s Instagram post.
Scherzinger has expressed openness to a future Pussycat Dolls reunion despite the drama. “I love my Dolls. I love the Pussycat Dolls,” she told the Daily Mail in July. “So, I always say never say never.”
