Nicole Scherzinger and Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin have settled their three-year legal battle over the girl group’s canceled reunion tour. The settlement, reached in principle, is subject to the execution of certain written agreements. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed in the court documents filed jointly by Scherzinger and Antin in Los Angeles, bringing an end to the ongoing legal dispute.
According to a source, Scherzinger and Antin actually reached a resolution months prior to the recent court filing but needed time to formalize the details of the settlement. The court has canceled a scheduled jury trial for December 9 and replaced it with a hearing on January 28, 2025, to dismiss the case. Both parties’ lawyers have not yet commented on the settlement or its terms.
The legal battle began when Antin sued Scherzinger in September 2021, alleging that she refused to participate in the Pussycat Dolls’ reunion tour unless given complete creative control and 75 percent of the profits. Scherzinger’s attorney responded, calling the lawsuit meritless and stating that the singer had only asked to renegotiate her contract due to repeated delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The group’s comeback tour, intended to promote their single “React,” was ultimately canceled in January 2022, leading to disappointment among Scherzinger’s bandmates.
In August 2022, Scherzinger filed a cross-complaint against Antin, accusing her of mismanagement and misappropriating funds, which Antin denied. Despite the legal drama, Scherzinger, currently appearing on Broadway in “Sunset Boulevard,” hinted in July that she was ready to move on from the dispute. She expressed her love for the Pussycat Dolls and left the door open for a potential reunion, stating, “I always say never say never,” when asked about the possibility of getting back together with her former bandmates.
The settlement marks the conclusion of a long-standing legal battle that has lasted for three years, involving allegations of contract disputes, financial mismanagement, and canceled tour plans. With both parties now having reached an agreement, the details of the settlement remain confidential, leaving speculation on the terms of the deal. Despite the difficulties and disagreements that have arisen between Scherzinger and Antin, both sides can now move forward and put an end to the legal dispute once and for all.
The resolution of the legal battle not only provides closure for Scherzinger and Antin but also for fans of the Pussycat Dolls, who have been eagerly awaiting a potential reunion of the popular girl group. The settlement reflects a willingness on both parties’ parts to reach a compromise and resolve their differences outside of the courtroom. As Scherzinger continues to focus on her Broadway career and Antin remains involved in the entertainment industry, the end of the legal dispute allows them to pursue their respective endeavors without the burden of ongoing litigation.
