Nicole Scherzinger and Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin have settled their legal disagreement and will not be heading to trial over the cancelled Pussycat Dolls reunion.
Attorneys for the pair filed court documents on Friday, November 1, stating the ‘parties have reached a settlement in principle, subject to the execution of certain written agreements,’ according to documents obtained by Page Six, although terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
In September 2021, Antin, 63, sued Scherzinger, 46, for allegedly refusing to participate in the Pussycat Dolls’ reunion tour after a decade away from the stage, saying the frontwoman was demanding complete creative control and 75 percent of the profits.
The Your Love singer’s attorney claimed the suit was ‘meritless’ in January 2022, saying she had asked to renegotiate her contract after the COVID-19 pandemic repeatedly delayed the group’s concerts, which were meant to promote their comeback single React.
Later that month, Scherzinger announced the tour had been cancelled on social media, news that came as a surprised to her fellow Dolls, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutter.

The Right There artist countersued in August 2022, charging Antin with mismanagement and misappropriating funds, allegations she denied.
The Sunset Boulevard star told Daily Mail in July, she would like to put all the animus behind her.
‘I love my Dolls. I love the Pussycat Dolls,’ she said when asked about the likelihood of another reunion. ‘So, I always say never say never.’
So far, neither woman said anything public about the settlement.
Scherzinger took to social media on Sunday, November 3 to thank her fans in the UK for making the Sunset Boulevard soundtrack number one on the compilations chart.
It is only the third musical theater soundtrack to reach such a pinnacle in a decade.
The experience for fans who buy the album, will be similar to the experience they would feel in the theater, according to the leading lady.
‘I’m over the moon that everything is live,’ she said in a video promoting the soundtrack on Instagram.

‘People can really feel the essence, feel like they’re right there with us in the theater, and I think it makes all the difference,’ the Laurence Olivier award winner explained.
‘It’s parallel to our whole ethos in this entire production of just keeping everything really raw and really minimal and really truthful and honest, and what’s more truthful and honest than a live performance?’
The show debuted in London’s West End before heading across the pond to Broadway, where it opened October 20.
