Jessica Sutta says MAGA support made her a 'liability' in response to Pussycat Dolls reunion snub
Jessica Sutta has claimed she was left out of the latest Pussycat Dolls reunion because her political alignment and public support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made her a “liability".
Former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta, 43, has opened up about why she believes she was excluded from the group’s most recent reunion plans, saying her "MAGA" support made her “a liability".
Speaking on The Maverick Approach podcast, Jessica said her support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign — and the assumptions people made about her because of it — created tension.
She said: “I align with Bobby Kennedy, which is aligning with MAGA."
Jessica added that she often felt judged for her stance.
She continued: “People are screaming at me, ‘You’re MAGA, you’re MAGA.’ Yeah, I am. I triple down on it because I’m so sick of people telling me who I should be.”
Jessica also discussed her views on former President Donald Trump, saying she disagreed with many of his actions but believed his position was necessary for what she described as advocacy around vaccine‑injury issues.
This came after her personal experience of suffering chronic fatigue, muscle pain and other health problems since receiving a second dose of the Moderna COVID‑19 vaccine in 2021.
During a previous interview with the Daily Mail, Jessica praised Kennedy, calling him “selfless” and “a wonderful human being.”
She said she supported his 2024 presidential run by speaking at events and publicly endorsing him, describing his eventual withdrawal from the race as “bittersweet.”
She said: “I wanted to see him as president.
“I think he’s an amazing human. I think he’s too good to be president though. He has too big of a heart.”
Nicole Scherzinger, 47, Kimberly Wyatt, 44, and Ashley Roberts, 44, recently confirmed a full‑scale comeback that includes a huge 2026 world tour and brand‑new music.
The group will return to the stage for the PCD FOREVER tour, which opens in the US this June before moving through Europe and the UK later in the year.
Their first UK date lands on September 29 in Birmingham, marking their first major shows together in years.
Alongside the tour announcement, the Dolls released a new single, Club Song, their first new material since 2019’s React.
As well as Jessica, Carmit Bachar, 51, and Melody Thornton, 41, were also left out of the reunion.
Carmit previously admitted she was also shocked by the news of the reunion.
She wrote on Instagram: “In light of recent developments, I feel it is important to speak honestly and respectfully.
"I was not contacted regarding the group’s decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public.
"Given my history with the brand, having been part of its foundation long before its commercial debut and instrumental in the connections that led to the record deal… I would have appreciated direct communication.
“While this is disappointing on a personal level, I remain proud of the role I played in helping shape what The Pussycat Dolls became.
“I believe the legacy of any group is built not only by those seen on stage, but also by the collective contributions and shared vision that brought it to life.”
