Pussycat Dolls Trio Shocks Ex-Members With Reunion Snub

The Pussycat Dolls are gearing up for a reunion tour, but not as the full group fans might expect. Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt have announced they will be performing as a trio. This development has come as a shock to former bandmates Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta, who revealed they were not asked to participate.

A source close to the trio indicated that the decision to move forward without Bachar and Sutta was made to "protect their peace" and ensure the tour proceeds smoothly. The trio reportedly feels that Bachar and Sutta are on a different path and that a three-member lineup is the best way to maintain harmony. This comes after the planned 2020 reunion tour, which would have included all five members, was cancelled due to a legal dispute between founder Robin Antin and Nicole Scherzinger.

Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta expressed their disappointment and surprise on social media, stating they learned of the reunion simultaneously with the public. Their former producer also voiced his dismay, arguing that the original members were instrumental in the band's success and should be included. Melody Thornton, another original member, will also not be part of this reunion. Tickets for the new tour are scheduled to go on sale in March 2026.
