Jessica Sutta has shared her belief that her political views may have contributed to her exclusion from the upcoming Pussycat Dolls reunion.

Speaking on the March 22 episode of The Mavericks Approach podcast, the former member said, “I was a liability.” She added, “I align with Bobby Kennedy, which is aligning with MAGA. Do I love what [President Donald] Trump is doing? Absolutely not. I do not believe in war. [But] we didn’t have a chance for the [vaccine] injured community to get help without him.”

Sutta has publicly supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now serving as US Secretary of Health and Human Services, since his 2024 presidential campaign. The singer, who said she is managing a neurological condition, explained that her stance is tied to personal and medical beliefs.

“People are screaming at me, ‘You’re MAGA, you’re MAGA.’ Yeah, I am,” she said. “I triple down on it because I’m like, I’m so sick of people telling me who I should be.”

The Pussycat Dolls confirmed their return earlier this month with the PCD Forever tour, featuring Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt. Several former members, including Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton, are not part of the project.

“None of us were called. None of us were told about anything. In fact, we were blindsided,” Sutta claimed. She noted that Scherzinger did contact her, but added, “I don’t plan to call her back. I love Nicole. This is very bittersweet for me. I respect her as an artist. I even cried with joy when she won her Tony [for Sunset Boulevard] just recently.”

Addressing the group’s current line-up, Wyatt said, “I mean, it has been an ever-changing lineup and you know, this is what it looks like now in 2026, and you never know what comes next.”
