Who has Nicole Scherzinger had celebrity beef with?
Former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger has had a handful of celebrity feuds.
Let’s take a look at Scherzinger’s most popular feuds:
Melody Thornton
Scherzinger had an ongoing feud with her former band member, Melody Thornton.
During the 2006 American Music Awards, the Pussycat Dolls performed their hit song Buttons.
During this performance, Thornton blindsided Nicole by showing off her vocals. Nicole was visually upset about this stunt.

In an interview with ITV’s Lorraine Kelly, Thornton expressed her frustrations about working with Nicole.
Thornton said: “Nicole had been in two groups prior and she had all of this experience recording albums, so they said, ‘We’re going to have Nicole do all of the recordings, you’re going to have to learn and dance with the rest of these girls.’
“For me, it really affected my confidence because I wasn’t using my best asset, and people were getting to know me for something that I didn’t do, and I was the weakest dancer. It was just really, really challenging. It was tough.”
In November 2019, the Pussycat Dolls reunited to perform their song React, however, Melody did not partake in this gathering.
Kimberly Wyatt
Like Melody, Pussycat Dolls member Kimberly Wyatt, too, felt overshadowed by Nicole.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Wyatt said: “It’s true, there has always been a lot of focus on Nicole, which has been hard to deal with sometimes. This group was created with a foundation, they knew exactly what they wanted and they had Nicole as the focus.
“I wasn’t in videos like I wanted and wasn’t seen in the way I was hoping, which has been the same for all the other girls too.”

In 2012, Kimberly said she hadn’t spoken to Nicole despite reaching out.
In 2018, the two put aside their differences when Kimberly’s dad died. Wyatt said she called Nicole every day after to talk about a reunion.
A year later, the girls came together to perform on The X Factor.
Kimberly shut down rumors by saying: “There’s no feud with Nicole – I’m friends with all the girls and I hold everyone in a wonderful space.”
Andrew Lloyd-Webber
Andrew Lloyd-Webber is one of the world’s biggest composers.
He did musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Cats.

Andrew told The Economist Radio, “I’m furious because I really believe she’s the most fantastically talented girl and I went out on a limb to get her for the London Palladium here, and it makes me look like an absolute t**t with them all.
But never mind, there’ll be another girl on Broadway and Nicole will not get her Tony award.”
The role went to singer Leona Lewis.
The two have since squashed their beef. During Season 8 of The Masked Singer, Nicole Scherzinger sang Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s song Memory.
Cheryl
Throughout the years there’s been growing tension between Nicole and former Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl.
The feud started when an old Girls Aloud interview resurfaced.
Cheryl said Nicole Scherzinger wasn’t good enough to be a solo artist.

She also stated the other band members were merely backup dancers.
Years later, Nicole took over Cheryl’s spot on The X Factor USA when the pop star was fired from the show due to her strong accent.
In July 2017, Nicole was seen partying with Cheryl’s ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini only months after they divorced.
The two pop singers have yet to reconcile with one another.
