The Pussycat Dolls, the band formed by Robin Antin in the mid-1990s, has slapped the Daily Mail Corporation with a defamation lawsuit, alleging that the girl group was falsely smeared by reports that it served as a "prostitution ring".

According to the Hollywood Reporter, in the suit, filed in New York Supreme Court, Antin and The Pussycat Dolls maintain that accusations by Kaya Jones, who purported to be a former member of the group, were "obviously false," and that Daily Mail published Jones' claims "with a reckless regard for the truth."
