Three members of the Pussycat Dolls are reuniting for a new tour, but the decision has sparked a feud after original member Carmit Bachar revealed she was not asked to take part. Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt will perform together, while Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton are excluded.
Bachar, who was part of the group before its commercial debut, shared a statement on Instagram expressing her disappointment. She said she learned of the tour plans at the same time as the public and would have appreciated direct communication given her history with the brand. 'I was not contacted regarding the group's decision to move forward,' she wrote.
In her statement, Bachar expressed gratitude for her time with the group and thanked fans, particularly the LGBTQ+ community. She said she is choosing to focus on her well-being and move forward with positivity. Fellow excluded member Jessica Sutta commented on Bachar's post, crediting her with securing the group's record deal with Interscope.
Sutta also shared a quote on Instagram that read 'F*** Off' in a British accent, tagging Bachar. The reunion comes after a previous tour was cancelled due to the pandemic, which had included Bachar and Sutta. The new tour will feature only three of the original seven members.
