Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Antin, the founder of the Pussycat Dolls, have finally settled their three-year legal dispute. The dispute was regarding a cancelled reunion tour.
The announcement came on Friday when their attorneys filed joint court documents in Los Angeles.
NICOLE SCHERZINGER AND ROBIN’S LEGAL DISPUTE
They stated that both parties reached a settlement in principle.
The specifics of this agreement remain undisclosed, according to Page Six.
A source close to the situation revealed that Scherzinger and Antin had actually resolved their issues months ago. They needed time to finalise the details.
As a result of the settlement, a jury trial set for 9 December has been cancelled. A new hearing is scheduled for 28 January, 2025, to formally dismiss the case.
NICOLE SCHERZINGER AND THE PUSSYCAT TOUR
The conflict began in September 2021 when Antin sued Scherzinger.
Antin alleged that Scherzinger refused to participate in the group’s first tour in a decade. She wanted 75 per cent of the profits and full creative control.
Scherzinger’s legal team dismissed the lawsuit as “meritless.”
They stated that the singer was merely seeking to renegotiate her contract after the COVID-19 pandemic caused repeated delays.
THE TOUR CANCELLATION
In January 2022, Nicole Scherzinger announced the tour’s cancellation, much to the dismay of her bandmates, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta.
They claimed to have learned about the tour’s cancellation through Scherzinger’s Instagram. This left them “incredibly disappointed.”
The situation escalated in August 2022 when Scherzinger filed a cross-complaint against Antin, according to Geo News.

In this complaint, she accused Antin of mismanagement and misappropriating funds, which Antin denied.
Despite the ups and downs, Scherzinger expressed a desire to move forward, according to Sky News.
In a recent interview, she said, “I love my Dolls. I love the Pussycat Dolls. So, I always say never say never.”
