Former Pussycat Dolls member Kaya Jones has resurfaced with shocking claims that the group functioned as a "prostitution ring." 

In a series of explosive tweets originally posted in 2017, Jones, whose real name is Chrystal Neria, revealed, "My truth. I wasn't in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring. Oh, and we happened to sing and be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $." 

Jones, who left the band before their debut hit in 2005, further claimed that the members were coerced into "sleeping with whoever they say." 

She added that she walked away from a "$13 million record deal" and her dreams because of the exploitation, explaining, "How bad was it? Bad enough that I walked away from my dreams, bandmates, and a $13 million record deal. We knew we were going to #1."

The former singer also disclosed that she had reported her claims in the past but was ignored. "In 2004, I told Hollywood executives, 2005-2006 I told press. In 2011, I spoke up again. Hope you can hear me now media in 2017!"

Jones' tweets have resurfaced as the legal spotlight turns to Sean "Diddy" Combs, who faces sex trafficking and racketeering charges. 

Jones reflected on how celebrity scandals like Diddy's have highlighted exploitation in the industry, saying, "It's sad that it took yet another celebrity case to get people to understand the kind of exploitation that occurs."

Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin previously dismissed Jones' allegations as "disgusting, ridiculous lies" and accused her of seeking "15 minutes of fame." 

Despite the denials, Jones continues to share her story, thanking supporters for their encouragement amid the renewed attention to her claims.
