\n\tWhile Carmit Bachar may not know why she wasn\u2019t invited<\/a> to the Pussycat Dolls<\/a>\u2018 upcoming reunion tour<\/a>, original member Jessica Sutta is pretty sure she knows exactly why she was left out.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the latest episode of The Maverick Approach<\/a> podcast, Sutta reveals to host Maverick Bailey why she believes she was not given the opportunity to return to the girl group this year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI aligned with Bobby Kennedy, which is aligned with MAGA,\u201d Sutta said, adding, \u201cI was a liability,\u201d and calling the reunion a \u201ccash grab.\u201d Sutta shared that she previously didn\u2019t identify as political but became so because her \u201clife depended on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a 2025 interview with Daily Mail<\/a>, Sutta shared that she suffered a \u201cdebilitating\u201d injury that she attributes to the COVID-19 vaccine. Ultimately, this is what led to her connection to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom she campaigned for during the 2024 U.S. presidential election. On the podcast, Sutta expresses that while she does not agree with everything President Trump does, because she feels strongly about health secretary RFK Jr. and his policies, she owns the MAGA label \u2014 even in the face of backlash.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPeople are screaming at me, \u2018You\u2019re MAGA, You\u2019re MAGA,’\u201d she says. \u201cYeah, I am MAGA. I triple down on it because I\u2019m sick of people telling me who I should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is not the first time Sutta has spoken out about the reunion. In the days following the band\u2019s big announcement, she took to her Instagram<\/a> with a length statement saying that she learned about the reunion right before it was made public, and that she \u201cdidn\u2019t have much time to prepare for the reaction that followed online.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd if we are really being honest, you can\u2019t trip on what\u2019s behind you,\u201d she concludes in her caption. \u201cGood luck, ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSutta is not the only member of the girl group to be excluded from the reunion event. After The Pussycat Dolls announced<\/a>\u00a0the three-person tour and released their new single, \u201cClub Song<\/a>,\u201d Carmit Bachar took to Instagram to share that she did not know the reunion was happening.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was not contacted regarding the group\u2019s decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public,\u201d Bachar wrote in the caption to her post. Ultimately, she\u2019s decided to move on and focus on her well-being and upcoming projects.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original six-piece lineup of Pussycat Dolls comprised of Nicole Scherzinger<\/a>, Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts, Melody Thornton, Bachar and Sutta, with only Scherzinger, Wyatt and Roberts returning for the reunion. Though Bachar and Sutta \u2014 who were included in PCD\u2019s 2020 reunion \u2014 have expressed their feelings on being excluded, Thornton \u2014 who hasn\u2019t been part of the group since 2010 \u2014 has yet to speak out publicly.<\/p>\n
