Nicole Scherzinger’s BRUTAL comment about the Pussycat Dolls goes viral again as fans take sides

by

Nicole Scherzinger’s old comments about the Pussycat Dolls are coming back to bite her.

Even before I graced the stage to receive my 2025 Tony Award for Sunset Boulevard, I had been steadily ascending the ladder in the music industry. It all began with a brief stint in Eden’s Crush, a fledgling girl group. However, it was as the captivating frontwoman of the Pussycat Dolls that I truly broke through and made my mark.

The Dolls burst onto music charts in 2005 with their first album PCD, headlined by the massive hit “Don’t Cha” that reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

After them, songs such as “Stickwitu” and “Buttons” were released in quick succession, with the former being nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

The group consisting of Nicole, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton, and Kimberly Wyatt was promoted as a collective entity, shining together and enjoying equal recognition.

But behind the scenes, that image wasn’t as picture-perfect as fans thought. 

In an old 2012 Behind the Music interview, which has recently been brought back into focus as the show celebrates its 28th anniversary, Nicole revealed a surprising fact – she was the primary vocalist during the Pussycat Dolls’ recording sessions while many other members were largely excluded from the process.

She confessed that it was her who was singing, adding that the other Dolls only listened to the tracks after she had previously recorded them.

In another way:
She admitted that she was the one singing, mentioning that the other Dolls didn’t hear the tracks until after she had already recorded them.

Or even simpler:
Admitting it was her, she shared that the other Dolls heard the tracks only after she had sung and recorded them.

Once more, that viral video from before has taken the internet by storm, sparking renewed controversy among fans and keeping alive the long-standing dispute about whether the Pussycat Dolls were truly a collaborative endeavor or not.

In the video, Nicole nervously laughed before spilling tea that rocked the fandom all over again. 

She cautioned, just before revealing her secret, “I sure hope my words won’t land me in hot water.

She went on to say, “That album PCD is something I’ll always remember. We played it for our daughters in the recording studio for the very first time, and that’s when they heard our music for the first time.

Nicole doubled down, making sure no one misunderstood her point. 

Are you following along with my conversation? I was playing some tunes from the Pussycat Dolls, which they hadn’t listened to before.”

“Did you catch what I was saying? I played a few songs by the Pussycat Dolls – it was their first time hearing them.

The comments quickly reignited old debates among fans. 

One reviewer harshly criticized her actions, commenting, “Revealing that was quite unnecessarily cruel. chuckle. It seems Nicole didn’t feel fully appreciated in PCD, even though I don’t believe her contributions were ever underestimated.

An additional person chimed in, stating, ‘It’s obvious to all of us that she was the star performer. In fact, she herself made sure everyone knew that if another girl received even a small role, she was displeased.’

This paraphrase maintains the original meaning while using more natural and easy-to-read language.

But plenty of others rushed to defend her. 

One defender responded, ‘I’m still puzzled by the dislike towards Nicole as the lead singer. She isn’t the first, nor will she be the last to handle most of the group’s vocals. What’s so criticized about her being straightforward and unapologetic regarding this fact?!’

A recently uncovered video emerged merely weeks following Nicole’s significant career milestone, where she portrayed the captivating Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard for her grand exit.

In her swan song performance, she left the audience spellbound, making a poignant farewell appearance as the sorrowful silent movie heroine. She astonished fans with an unexpectedly intense final bow, sporting a captivating stage look that included dramatic simulated blood running down her neck.

Her performance in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gloomy masterpiece was widely praised as chilling and extraordinary by critics. This role brought her tremendous acclaim, including glowing reviews and even a Tony Award.

Looking back at my journey, Nicole posted a heartfelt note to her followers on Instagram: ‘Today, Sunset Blvd bids farewell forever.’

As I reflect on my journey these past two years embodying the iconic Norma Desmond, I can hardly believe it’s time to bid farewell to the stage. It all started as a brief engagement, then transformed into an extended run – and now, here we are, nearing the 10-month mark on Broadway. The time has truly flown by!

‘Norma’s story is for anyone who’s ever felt alone. Lonely. Abandoned. Outcast.

For individuals who’ve always felt out of place, for those who lost something dear and yearn to regain it, for visionaries, battlers, devotees, champions – those with an unwavering resolve and strength, pursuing their passions relentlessly.

‘”This is my life. It always will be. There is nothing else.”‘

In a sincere message, she expressed, ‘Norma has left an indelible impact on me. Many thanks to Broadway for weaving that enchanting experience.’
