It’s ironic how she used a picture of John Travolta in her thread, as he’s previously been accused of sexual harassment by multiple men.
Robin Antin, who’s credited as the founder of the Pussycat Dolls, profited the earnings of the group along with the record label, says Jones, while the group’s actual performers were put on a strict weekly allowance. This isn’t the first time a successful girl group has called out their label and management for throwing them pennies while the label reels in major profits.
TLC, anyone?
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’ve never received any residual income from anything we did.

Nope. Flat rate. Nothing extra. No splits on anything. Or shows. And if we were late $20 a minute Robin would take from our check

Antin contributed to the unraveling of the girls’ self-esteem, says Jones:
More then that she broke my spirit. Midnight phone calls about what I ate that day to before shows telling me how fat I was. I was a kid

Lawyers are given and appointed to you. If you try to use a different one it’s a deal breaker. End of discussion. We were all replaceable

On why she’s finally going public with this story:
Because I’ll be damned if I’ll sit back & watch them take advantage of the public & other young women again. No reunion on my watch ⌚️ https://t.co/sfbPEwuWyE

Yes. I’m working on it. There’s more then one name.
— KAYA (@KayaJones) October 13, 2017
Why don’t we report it? Because we are all abused! I personally have been warned if I tell I will … you know end up dead or no more career

Why do you think beyonce made it so big, she had help didn’t have to go through half the things I have heard about. Other don’t u sweat and how it works. Why do you think so many is so proud of Beyoncé without the help of her father god only knows where she would be and if most talent singer had that help we would be seeing so much more telanted people but the fact is the fact, she is not the first artist to come out and say this and shoe won’t be the last.
