And the Pussycat Dolls weren't in the best place. Like, something was brewing.
But thanks to them, it’s now the 15th anniversary of one of the most awkward and iconic performances of all time.
I'm talking about the 2006 VH1 Fashion Rocks performance of "Buttons."
BUT BEFORE YOU WATCH THE CLIP, most people don't know this, but the Pussycat Dolls had more than one singer. Like there were actually other people singing in the group besides Nicole.
Robin Antin, who is the founder of PCD, is the one suing Nicole.
In the suit, Antin says Nicole was originally supposed to make 49% of the reunion profits, but since the pandemic canceled the tour Nicole refuses to perform until her contract is renegotiated. Apparently she now wants 75%.
The suit claims that Live Nation is demanding re-payment of the $600,000 they spent towards the tour that never actually happened.
So, she's being sued.
Nicole's lawyer responded via the Hollywood Reporter calling the claims ludicrous and false: "Robin’s ludicrous and false claims are a desperate attempt to divert blame for her own failures by trying to impose obligations on Nicole that simply do not exist. Robin will fail in her efforts to trade on Nicole’s hard-earned success to pull herself out of a deep financial hole she has created by her own poor business and professional decisions."
Now excuse me while I watch this incredibly dramatic acoustic performance of "React." All I wish for them is happiness (and also a proper reunion tour). Seriously, please get it together so I can see this on tour!!
