NICOLE SCHERZINGER

Singer sued by Pussycat Dolls founder

Nicole Scherzinger, who rose to fame with girl band The Pussycat Dolls, is being sued by the group’s choreographer and founder, Robin Antin.

The group had planned a reunion tour this year, 11 years after splitting, with five of the six singers returning. But Robin has claimed Nicole is refusing to take part unless she gets “complete creative control” of the tour and an increase in her share of PCD Worldwide – which Robin claims puts Nicole in breach of an agreement.

Former The X Factor judge Nicole’s lawyer has called the accusations “ludicrous and false”, saying in a statement that Robin’s claims are: “A desperate attempt to divert blame for her own failures by trying to impose obligations on Nicole that simply do not exist.”
