The Pussycat Dolls, the all girl group created by US dancer choreographer Robin Antin and Interscope Records, are suing the UK’s second biggest tabloid outlet, the Daily Mail for defamation.
Their lawsuit stems from an article printed by the Daily Mail back in October of 2017 in which a purported former Pussycat Dolls backup singer, Kaya Jones, claims that the group’s members were “drugged” and that the group was nothing more than a “front for a prostitution ring” with members being “passed around by music executives”.
The Pussycat Dolls are claiming that their reputation has been falsely smeared and that the Daily Mail went ahead and printed Jones’ claims “with reckless disregard for the truth”. The six primary members of the recording group were Nicole Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Kimberley Wyatt.
Antin and The Pussycat Dolls are being represented by King & Ballow’s Richard Busch, the attorney who won the Robin Thicke ‘Blurred Lines’ trial in 2015 for Marvin Gaye’s estate.
