Kaya Jones isn’t staying “Hush Hush” about her time as a Pussycat Doll.
The singer, who was a member from 2003 to 2004, doubled down on her claims that mistreatment led her to abruptly leave the girl group.
Jones, 40, initially made headlines for the allegation in 2017, claiming via X that she felt pressured to “sleep with” people while part of the ensemble.
“How bad was it?” she wrote at the time. “bad enough that I walked away from my dreams, bandmates & a 13 million dollar record deal.”
Jones concluded, “In 2004 I told hollywood executives, 2005-2006 I told press. In 2011 I spoke up again. Hope you can hear me now Media in 2017! Way to go.”
On Thursday, the performer re-posted ’s 2017 story about on comments in response to Elon Musk’s X post about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest.

“How many people in music & entertainment knew about this?” the Tesla founder, 53, wrote Tuesday, referring to allegations that Combs sexually assaulted 25 minors, including a 9-year-old boy.
Jones replied, “Here you go @elonmusk I’ve been speaking since 2017. No one listened.”
Combs, notably, does not have anything to do with PCD — which was created by choreographer Robin Antin — besides their 2006 “Come to Me” collaboration.
The Pussycat Dolls sued the Daily Mail in 2018 for covering Jones’ allegations that the girl group was a “prostitution ring.” The status of the defamation lawsuit remains unclear.
Back in 2017, Antin, now 63, bashed Jones’ claims as “disgusting, ridiculous lies,” while PCD lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and her fellow bandmates released a statement expressing similar feelings.
“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,” they wrote.
Antin and Scherzinger’s reps have yet to respond to ’s request for comment about Jones’ Thursday post.
While Combs played no part in the Pussycat Dolls’ creation, his Bad Boy Records company signed girl group Danity Kane in 2005.
Member Aubrey O’Day has repeatedly celebrated the embattled music mogul’s legal troubles online, writing that she felt “validated” after his September arrest for sex trafficking, prostitution and racketeering charges.
Most recently, she implied via X that Musk’s friends “knew about” Combs’ alleged crimes.
Combs has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing as sexual assault lawsuits pile up against him, with Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee representing more than 100 alleged victims.
The lawyer vowed on Tuesday to “expose … enablers,” claiming that his list of alleged perpetrators and bystanders will “shock” the public.
In response, Combs’ legal team claimed the Revolt founder “looks forward to proving his innocence.”
