azcentral.com Wrote:Singer Jessica Sutta, who recently left the pop quintet The Pussycat Dolls, says she was "unhappy" in the group because of lead singer Nicole Scherzinger's diva demands and quest for stardom. Sutta, pictured on the far right in the photo, spoke to Life & Style magazine about her experience.
On hitting bottom: "It all started when I was injured on tour (in May 2009). They decided to send me home, and when I got to L.A., I was left to fend for myself. I didn't have a place to stay because I was on tour. Luckily, a girlfriend let me stay with her. I'm lying there, thinking, wow, I'm an international pop star, and I just left this extravagant life, and here I am sleeping on someone's couch."
On working with Scherzinger: "Nicole is a star, and she wanted to be treated like one. The Pussycat Dolls
were Nicole's world, and everything that Nicole says goes. If you liked a certain top and Nicole liked it too, she would take the top. She's the star. We had to support her in every way. It was Nicole's world, and we were just living in it."
On leaving the group: "Honestly, I felt like it was time to not live in the shadow of Nicole anymore. It wasn't a joyful experience. I wasn't feeling like I was growing in the situation. As hard as the decision was, it was something I had to do."
Sutta is currently working on a solo album.
