Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin is denying allegations that the girl band was part of a "prostitution ring" and that members slept with older men to be in the group.
Antin opened up to The Blast and said the allegations were "disgusting, ridiculous lies" that one-time member Kaya Jones reported on Twitter. Antin also said Jones was "clearly looking for her 15 minutes" and was never an official member of the group. She was simply there on a trial basis, according to Antin.
On Friday, Jones tweeted that she actually left the group because it was a “prostitution ring.”
"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 $," Jones wrote to fans on Twitter. "How bad was it? People ask — bad enough that I walked away from my dreams, my bandmates & a 13 million dollar record deal. We knew we were going to be #1."
Jones also called out the group's "den mother" but did not name names. Antin founded the group, which started as a burlesque troupe in 1995, according to E! News.
A representative for the Pussycat Dolls has not yet responded to the allegations.
