was reached by both parties<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a 2021 complaint obtained by PEOPLE, Antin claimed that Scherzinger refused to participate in the tour unless she was given creative control and a larger portion of the group&#8217;s business venture<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tag\/nicole-scherzinger\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Nicole Scherzinger;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Nicole Scherzinger<\/a>\u00a0and Robin Antin, the choreographer who founded the <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tag\/the-pussycat-dolls\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Pussycat Dolls;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Pussycat Dolls<\/a>, have settled their lawsuit over a failed reunion tour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Monday, Nov. 3 and filed on Sept. 19, the pair agreed to a &#8220;confidential settlement&#8221; of the lawsuit Antin, 64, filed against Scherzinger, 47, in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Wednesday, Oct. 29, Scherzinger, 47, filed a request to dismiss the complaint with prejudice for &#8220;the entire action of all parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Legal representatives for Scherzinger and Antin declined to comment to PEOPLE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The latest update in the case comes one year after Scherzinger and Antin&#8217;s legal teams filed court documents stating they &#8220;reached a settlement in principle, subject to the execution of certain written agreements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the pair reached a tentative settlement in May, but asked for more time to iron out the details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">By July, Antin\u2019s lawyer David Blau told the court that the women couldn&#8217;t figure out a deal, per documents obtained by PEOPLE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Blau requested that both Scherzinger and Antin be present for a hearing and reasoned that more time was needed because of &#8220;professional commitments&#8221; and the &#8220;multi-faceted structure and terms of the settlement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Scherzinger claimed at the time she was busy with her <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/nicole-scherzinger-ends-sunset-blvd-run-as-broadway-show-closes-11774223\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Broadway show Sunset Blvd.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Broadway show Sunset Blvd.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A trial-setting hearing had originally been slated for this month, but was not held.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/music\/pussycat-dolls-founder-robin-antin-sues-nicole-scherzinger\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:complaint obtained by PEOPLE;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">complaint obtained by PEOPLE<\/a> in September 2021, Antin claimed that Scherzinger refused to participate in a reunion tour unless she received creative control and a larger portion of the group&#8217;s business venture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In 2019, Antin and Scherzinger came to an agreement that awarded the singer 49% of Pussycat Dolls Worldwide&#8217;s shares and profits from the tour, per the documents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The complaint claimed that Antin and Pussycat Dolls Worldwide &#8220;only agreed to transfer the shares to Scherzinger based upon Scherzinger&#8217;s promise to perform as part of the reunion tour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The relaunch of the Pussycat Dolls and the agreement seemed to be underway with <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/music\/pussycat-dolls-reunite-x-factor-uk-performance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:a single released;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">a single released<\/a>\u00a0in late 2019 and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/music\/the-pussycat-dolls-react-music-video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:performed;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">performed<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0The X Factor UK\u00a0season finale in February 2020 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CCJOChJJK6E\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:new tour dates;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">new tour dates<\/a>\u00a0announced in July 2020 after they were delayed during the ongoing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tag\/coronavirus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COVID-19 pandemic.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">COVID-19 pandemic.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Dimitrios Kambouris\/Getty Robin Antin and Nicole Scherzinger in February 2017 in Beverly Hills, Calif.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"368\" height=\"480\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1bc7a1259bf65e258123c0f5f2cded67.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dimitrios Kambouris\/Getty<\/p>\n<p> Robin Antin and Nicole Scherzinger in February 2017 in Beverly Hills, Calif.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, new dates for a European kickoff that May were listed as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livenation.co.uk\/artist-pussycat-dolls-21825\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:To Be Confirmed;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">To Be Confirmed<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the complaint, while she publicly affirmed &#8220;her participation, Scherzinger now refuses to participate in the reunion tour&#8221; and demanted Antin renegotiate their agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Per the complaint, Scherzinger demanded of 75% PCD Worldwide in addition to &#8220;complete creative control&#8221; and &#8220;final decision-making authority.&#8221; She also allegedly threatened to not be a part of the tour unless her demands were met, the complain alleges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Tour dates were planned but are unable to be confirmed because of Scherzinger&#8217;s extortion,&#8221; the complaint claimed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As a result, Live Nation requested the $600,000 it invested in the tour to be returned, per the complaint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the time, a legal representative for Scherzinger did not immediately respond to PEOPLE&#8217;s request for comment. But days later, Scherzinger&#8217;s lawyer, Howard King, shared a statement with PEOPLE calling Antin&#8217;s claims &#8220;ludicrous and false,&#8221; and alleged they &#8220;are a desperate attempt to divert blame for her own failures by trying to impose obligations on Nicole that simply do not exist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">King also claimed that Scherzinger was not responsible for the $600,000 invested in the tour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Robin will fail in her efforts to trade on Nicole&#8217;s hard-earned success to pull herself out of a deep financial hole she has created by her own poor business and professional decisions,&#8221; he said in a statement at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">King&#8217;s statement continued: &#8220;Prior to Nicole&#8217;s involvement, trading on Nicole&#8217;s name without her consent, Robin borrowed (and spent) $600,000 from Live Nation that she won&#8217;t or can&#8217;t repay,&#8221; King claimed. &#8220;Nicole has invested her own funds in excess of $150,000 in support of a potential PCD reunion that has now been made impossible by Robin&#8217;s actions (including the public release of the group members&#8217; confidential financial information).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Nicole loves and respects the PCD fans and hopes to one day be back on stage performing the group&#8217;s amazing hits for them,&#8221; his statement concluded. &#8220;Sadly, this will not happen under these circumstances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In 1995, the Pussycat Dolls were founded by Antin as a burlesque troop. By 2003, it transformed into a musical girl group after Antin landed a deal with Interscope Geffen A&amp;M Records. The group featured Scherzinger,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/pets\/1st-look-date-night-evan-antin\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ashley Roberts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ashley Roberts<\/a>, Jessica Sutta,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kimberlywyatt\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Kimberly Wyatt;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Kimberly Wyatt<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/celebrity\/a-pussycat-doll-leaves-the-pop-group\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Carmit Bachar;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Carmit Bachar<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/melodythornton\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Melody Thornton;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Melody Thornton<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In 2009, the Pussycat Dolls disbanded, and Scherzinger went onto pursue a solo music career. Since then, she has also appeared as a judge on shows like\u00a0The Masked Singer\u00a0and\u00a0The X Factor and starred in Sunset Blvd. on Broadway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/nicole-scherzinger-pussycat-dolls-founder-robin-antin-settle-reunion-tour-lawsuit-11842548\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:People;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">People<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW Nicole Scherzinger and Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin have settled their lawsuit over a failed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270356,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,144783,74679,88,140656,144782,93211,144781,144784],"class_list":{"0":"post-270355","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-confidential-settlement","10":"tag-court-documents","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-nicole-scherzinger","13":"tag-pussycat-dolls","14":"tag-reunion-tour","15":"tag-robin-antin","16":"tag-scherzinger"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
