After years of litigation, Nicole Scherzinger and The Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin have reached a confidential settlement tied to their 2021 lawsuit over the group’s abandoned reunion tour.
A Long-Running Dispute
November 4, 2025: The legal battle between Nicole Scherzinger and Antin began in September 2021, when Antin alleged that Scherzinger reneged on agreements related to the group’s planned reunion tour. According to court documents, Antin claimed that Scherzinger agreed in 2019 to 49 % of the profits from the venture but later demanded full creative control and a larger share — up to 75 % — causing the tour to collapse. Scherzinger responded by calling the lawsuit “meritless” and accused Antin of mismanaging funds and misleading investors.
Settlement Details and What It Means
Earlier this week, both parties filed documentation in Los Angeles to dismiss the action following a confidential settlement. While the precise terms remain under wraps, the filing shows that both sides have agreed to drop their claims and avoid a jury trial previously scheduled for December. The settlement marks an apparent end to a dispute that had delayed the reunion of one of the early-2000s’ most successful girl groups.
Tour Fallout and Industry Impact
The tour was originally announced in 2019 with plans to hit major markets across North America and Europe. However, after delays due to the pandemic and mounting disagreements, the tour was ultimately cancelled in early 2022 — news that reportedly blindsided other group members who learned the cancellation via social media. The protracted legal dispute highlighted the financial and reputational risks associated with reunion projects in the modern music business.
Scherzinger’s Next Chapter
For Scherzinger — who has since appeared on Broadway and in television — the settlement likely closes a complicated chapter and allows her to move forward with fewer distractions. While she hasn’t ruled out another collaboration with The Pussycat Dolls, the focus now appears to be on solo and theatrical work.
