Kaya Jones said that members of the Pussycat Dolls were passed around for sex in the early days

A former member of the Pussycat dolls has publicly claimed that the band was a front for a ‘prostitution ring’ in which the members of the band were passed around for sex.

In a series of tweets, Kaya Jones, 33,said that music executives and managers took advantage of the group she was a member of in 2003.

She said that she had decided to come forward because she was deeply affected by the Las Vegas concert massacre, which took place shortly after she had left the venue.

After just two years as a member, Jones quit the group in 2005. The group was assembled by choreographer Robin Antin under a deal with Interscope Geffen A&M Records.

Jones added: “Executives, and managers, and agents and other artists that are on the label, if you don’t want to sleep with an executive they’ll pass you to that. Or sometimes they’ll continue to pass the girl, so she’s just passed around

“To be apart of the team you must be a team player. Meaning sleep with whoever they say. If you don’t they have nothing on you to leverage. Yes I said leverage. Meaning after they turn you out or get you hooked on drugs they use it against you. Correct. Victimizing the victim again.”

Jones also referenced the suicide of a member of another group founded by Antin, Simone Battle, in 2014. Simone was a member of the group G.R.L.

Addressing the founder of the group, Robin Antin, Jones added: “I want the den mother from hell to confess why another 1 of her girl group girls committed suicide? Tell the public how you mentally broke us.”

A den mother is someone who controls the other girls in a group, such as a prostitution ring, and ensures that the girls are compliant.

Robin Antin has denied the claims.

She said that the claims were “disgusting, ridiculous lies” and added that Jones was never even a real member of the group, and had merely been one of many trial members who did not pan out.

Shortly after Jones went public with the allegations, former member Melody Thornton tweeted: “It was a smart move! A Dick move but a smart one.”

She did not elaborate on what she meant, so it is not known whether she was making reference to Jones’ claims.

Jones claimed that she had previously tried to go live with the allegations in the past but was brushed aside by journalists.

She added: “Robin & the record label made all the money. We as Pussycat Dolls were paid $500 a week. While we were being abused & used. Fact!”

“I hope more women & men come out & share their abuse & pain. We must shine a light on this issue in the entertainment business,” she continued.
