Asia Nitollano Quits Pussycat Dolls After Winning Reality Show

Monday July 23, 2007
"Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot solo like me?"

Asia Nitollano, who won The Search For The Next Doll to become the seventh Pussycat Doll, has quit the hit pop group to pursue a solo career.

Not many of our readers supported Asia's win in the first place. What do you think of this shocking development?

In other Search for the Next Doll news, the show will be back for a second season later this year. But this time, producers will be creating a new pop trio called Girlicious.

I was completely against Asia getting it anyway. Chelsea worked her butt off and was by far, the best choice personality wise. You can always teach a person a skill like dancing, but you can NEVER teach personality and Chelsea had it in spades.

Yes! Thank goodness she is a horrible addition to a tallented group of females. going solo only shows how selfish and nieve she is. Too bad the runner up couldn’t step up in to the PCDs open slot.. she was more deserving.

Asia is immature and has major anger issues! The dolls probably got fed up with her mouth and told her how it is! She couldn’t handle it. Good luck to the foul mouthed girl in her solo career!

i liked asia but from the start of the show i wanted chelsea to win. asia quitting just goes to show that chelsea deserved the spot a lot more than asia. but i love both girls =]

Melissa R. was by far the one you should’ve win.

I Can’t believe it, this is the worse thing that has ever happened and those of ya’ll who didn’t support asia are nothing but jerks.

(11) murmur says:

Asia wouldn’t have fit in w/ the other dolls anyway. Asia was a little more on the ghetto fabulous side.

February 22, 2008 at 10:24 am
(12) Rachel says:

If that is her choice I wish her all the best. I was hopping she would win and I hope that she has a fab career. And shame on everyone who is talking bad about her you don’t know what it was like being in that group. They may have never really accepted her as a member of the group you never know.

(13) Jessica says:

Asia shouldn’t have won in the first place. It should have been Chelsea or that other chick. Asia was a horrible addition to there group, those stupid judges don’t know what the he|| there doing. Stupid Robin A asia is gay, and she thinks that shes that good to be solo?!?!? i haven’t heard of her since the show ended. She wasn’t even a good singer! She ALWAYS mumbled and was a hoe for having a baby @ 16.

(14) mylene rouleau says:

I think people are just very mean and they are just jaleous!!And she have the talented!!She really have it and buy the way don’t judge the book buy is covered!If she quits the team to go solo i wish her the BEST..She deserve it!!

February 28, 2008 at 12:29 am
(15) mylene rouleau says:

She got the voice and the dance!!She maybe not be beatiful as people are saying it but she is not a plastic surgery girl!!

She’s just natural that’s in her she have the talented and she believe in hisself!!That is what you need to do!!

Chelsea was the best one.

March 15, 2008 at 11:51 pm
(17) Lee says:

Asia had a major personality disorder. Someone like that can never work with a group. I can’t believe Robin couldn’t see that…she isn’t a psychologist but you would think she would have basic people sense.

March 16, 2008 at 8:29 am
(18) liz says:

Simply, wow. It’s really naive of her to just give it all up. She should’ve quit during the show. She shattered the dreams of the other girls who really really wants it. If she was unsure, she shouldn’t have auditioned or gone through the process. Anyway, I was against her winning. She isn’t the best vocalist, there are far better contestants on the show.

March 25, 2008 at 3:18 am
(19) Andie` says:

ok sooo, Melissa R was the BEST, I think she could blend with the other dolls … then Chelsea was good too PLUS I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Her voice! ( she should go for a solo eh ? )
Asia was HORRIBLEEEE! Ewwwww, should’t have won the thing, not good role model ( a baby at 16? PLEASE! ) … WHAT EV , Im happy she Quit =)

March 25, 2008 at 3:24 am
(20) meimei says:

Omg!! Asia is such a dump FRAKING DIVAA! who cares if she goes solo!..nobody is gonna buy her music! she is soooooooo stupid..she rejected the PCD!! she isn’t even popular!!!..Melissa R and chelsea were way better than her!..WHAT THE FRUU with Robin Antin! what happened to her? she was in a lapsus brutus!..Chelsea and Melissa R are way more popular and succesful than Asia!..I just don’t agree with her personality! she seems so selfish and immatureeee!!

April 17, 2008 at 8:26 pm
(22) daniela says:

to be honest i relly wanted asia to win! it sucks to now that she decided to take a solo career but what can we do? i support her alot but i totally agree that she should have never decided to do a solo career because there were many girls that wanted that dream and they wouldn’t have decided to leave!! but one way or the other asia is ma home girl!! YOU ROCK!! take care!!

April 18, 2008 at 10:12 am
(23) imara says:

May 1, 2008 at 10:39 am

(26) lisa says:

stop hating on asia, the best one won. why she left no one really knows! and maybe she will go solo and do better than PCD!!!!!!

June 15, 2008 at 5:12 am
(27) Yo moma says:

Asia sucked anyway. I don’t know why she got all upset when somebody said she danced like a drag queen. SHE DOES!
Either of the other two would’ve been a much better fit for the group. I can’t believe they let her win even after seeing all the drama that she created. She’s poison for a group.
And now here’s proof. She’s selfish. Left the group after all the effort they put into her.

June 26, 2008 at 7:22 pm
(28) JJ13 says:

Wow, big surprise that she couldn’t cut it. I love when people with kids think that they can just step into fame and deal with their normal life. She missed her daughter to begin with so what did she think would happen if she won?? I never liked her, she had anger problems and was soooo pissed when she won. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE WON! This is proof. She couldn’t even handle it. What kinda loser gets handed an opportunity like this and drops it? Who does she think she is dropping PCD and thinking she can make it on her own solo, or at all? What an immature, disrespectful little child she is.

July 2, 2008 at 2:03 pm
(29) annoyed says:

Im so annoyed!…why would asia win the contest and then just quit why would she think that its fair for her to do that and then go SOLO!!!
she shouldn’t even have won…i liked melissa r way better

(30) kt says:

July 9, 2008 at 12:34 am
(31) kt says:

(32) Jacqulyn says:

I always belevied in asia she has a wonderful talent that the lord from above has given her.But a mother will be a mother so if she misses her daughter thats her problem not yours.So leave Asia alone mind ur own bees wax…………….

July 13, 2008 at 9:07 am
(33) hi says:

That was so not fair that Asia dropped out! there were alot of other girls who wanted the spot and could of got it if she was going 2 drop out y ruin the chances 4 other people stupied idiotic Asia HUH!!!

July 15, 2008 at 1:39 pm
(34) Shanna says:

I was so excited when asia won, I cant believe she would quit, I think she deserved it over all the rest of the girls, She was way better and worked twice as hard, I cried when she won, I was so excited. Who cares if she had a baby at 16, A lot of other teens have kids at that age so dont judge her, its the whole world thats having kids at a young age. I was 18 when I had my first and I think being a young mom is wayyyyyyyy better.
GOOOOOOO ASIA LUV YOU GIRL.

July 16, 2008 at 3:11 pm
(35) ...N.O..N.A.M.E.... says:

GAY!!! Asia won and dropped out so suddenly, huh what a waste for the other girls, but it would’ve been better if Chelsea won. Oh well whatever happens happens.
And I don’t mind about her little baby, but her attitude is just so annoying and terrible! Always yelling and yelling without speaking right to the girls, even though some of them had pissed her off, but she could’ve toned it down a little!
I hope they pick someone better the next time.
