Pussycat Dolls Deny Kaya Jones 'Prostitution Ring' Claim: It 'Undermines' Our Work

Pussycat Dolls recently slammed ex-member Kaya Jones' "prostitution ring" claims.

Over the weekend, Jones broke her silence regarding the sexual abuse she experienced while she was still part of the girl group Pussycat Dolls. "My truth. I wasn't in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring. Oh & we happened to sing & be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $," she wrote in a tweet.

Pussycat Dolls, however, did not share Jones' experiences and sentiments. The group issued a statement addressing Jones' claims and said there was no truth to the allegations she made.

"The Pussycat Dolls has always and will always stand for female empowerment and sisterhood. We stand in solidarity with all women who have bravely spoken publicly of their horrific experiences of abuse, harassment and exploitation. However, we cannot stand behind false allegations towards other group members partaking in activities that simply did not take place," the group said in a statement to E! News.

They went on to say that Jones' claims of the girls being forced to have sex to further their career seemed to erase all the hard work they put in. "To liken our professional roles in The Pussycat Dolls to a prostitution ring not only undermines everything we worked hard to achieve for all those years but also takes the spotlight off the millions of victims who are speaking up and being heard loud and clear around the world," the statement continued.

Pussycat Dolls added that they were not aware of Jones' experiences while she was still with them. They also stressed that when they signed a recording contract "we were not privy to any misconduct taking place around us." They encouraged Jones to get the help she needs and offered her their support.

"Since its inception, The Pussycat Dolls and founder Robin Antin have supported and empowered women from all walks of life to flourish in their careers. Should any member or associate allude to any form of abuse or harassment whatsoever, it will be taken very seriously and investigated. We truly wish Kaya the best and hope she gets the help she deserves," they concluded.

Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin previously responded to Jones' claims. According to Antin, Jones' allegations are "disgusting, ridiculous lies," adding that the 33-year-old artist was "clearly looking for her 15 minutes" of fame.
