Kaya Jones is opening up about her time in Pussycat Dolls. During an appearance on Fox Nation’s “Tucker Carlson Today”, the 38-year-old singer claimed that she “was told to get rid of” a pregnancy while in the girl group.
Et has reached out to founding member Robin Antin, as well as other former members of the group, for comment on Jones’ claims.
“A majority of the women do not have children. I mean, that’s the pressures and the forcing abortions. And, you know, you’re fired if you’re pregnant,” Jones claimed, adding that “the powers that be” can “do that.”
Jones, who had an abortion at age 16, said she was 19 at the time of the alleged incident.
“That was a poor choice then,” Jones said of her first abortion. “Now, being in the height of this position and my job and really not wanting to lose my job,...

Robin Antin may not be a name you’re familiar with, but chances are you’ve heard of The Pussycat Dolls. Although Nicole Scherzinger is arguably the most famous Pussycat Doll, Robin Antin is actually the person who founded the group. The Pussycat Dolls began as a burlesque show in 1995 and eventually became an international brand. That success is largely due to Robin’s vision and creativity. Although the group has been on hiatus for the last several years, they are planning an upcoming tour. Unfortunately, though, recent disagreements between Antin and Scherzinger might send the tour flying off track. According to

"Robin will fail in her efforts to trade on Nicole's hard-earned success to pull herself out of a deep financial hole she has created by her own poor business and professional decisions. Prior to Nicole's involvement, trading on Nicole's name...

Bhad Bhabie, aka Danielle Bregoli, the 15-year-old rapper who first gained notoriety from an appearance on “Dr. Phil” that went viral — spawning her signature line, “Cash me outside, how ’bout dat?” — drew a heavy industry crowd to the Roxy on Thursday night.
The line for her first Los Angeles performance snaked down the Sunset Strip hours before Bhad Bhabie’s set time of 10 p.m. She would perform for 45 minutes in the sweltering, packed-to-the-gills venue (capacity: 500), which was sold-out for the night. At one point during her performance, Bregoli danced provocatively as singer Pia Mia sat stoically in a chair (watch a clip below).
Perhaps not coincidentally, Robin Antin, choreographer and creator of the Pussycat Dolls, was spotted in the V.I.P. area; Pia Mia is reportedly going to be fronting a “next generation” version of the group, taking over the Nicole Scherzinger role.

The Pussycat Dolls, the girl group formed by Robin Antin in the mid-1990s which featured former “X Factor” judge Nicole Scherzinger, is suing British news outlet the Daily Mail over stories it ran in October 2017 claiming that the members were abused and that the group served as a “front for a prostitution ring.”
The allegations were made by a former backup singer named Kaya Jones, who was quoted extensively in an Oct. 17 article with the headline: “Exclusive: Defiant ex-Pussycat Doll Ms. Jones tells how top record exec sexually assaulted her in the back of his limo – one day after saying the band was more ‘prostitution ring’ than pop group.” In various articles related to the claims, she also asserts that the girls were “drugged” and that Antin was “responsible” for their treatment as well as the 2014 suicide death of Simone Battle, a member of girl group G.R.L.

On May 24th, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were officially wed. It place in Florence, Italy and the honeymoon was one night in Paris. The lavish ceremony was attended by many of their big-time celebrity friends like Brittny Gastineau, La La Anthony, Milika Haqq and Robin Antin of the Pussycat Dolls. One celebrity guest in attendance was a bit of a joker, Jaden Smith ("After Earth") showed up in a Batman costume. Which I would be totally fine with if Jaden hadn't committed the cardinal sin of wearing white to a wedding. How dare Jaden show up the bride by wearing white. That was Kim's special day and it was ruined because the Karate Kid didn't know basic wedding etiquette. The absolute gall of Jaden to do that in the presence of Kimye, a power-couple that has replaced the stuffy Kennedys as the new American royalty. Kim, roes to...

It feels almost unfair to rag on Pitbull’s video for “Wild Wild Love” featuring G.R.L., when it could be so much worse… but we’re not going to let that stop us. Pitbull, who, unlike my colleague Katie Hasty, I have a begrudging fondness for, is calling it in on this folktronica tune that tries to make “Timber’s” success strike again. This time, instead of Kesha, his co-ed counterparts are the members of G.R.L., an assemblage of hair and breasts and legs that that Pussycat Dolls' mastermind Robin Antin cooked up in her music laboratory. Pitbull, who co-wrote the tune with Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Ammar Malik, Alexander Castillo Vasquez and Henry Walter (yes, it took six people to come up with this with Martin sleepwalking through it), is clearly taking one for the team as he surrounds himself with the quintet as...
