The “Don’t Cha” hitmakers are back—but not all of them. What should have been a celebratory moment for early 2000s pop fans has quickly dissolved into a public war of words.
Just hours after Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt announced the PCD Forever Tour, a massive 53-date global trek, former members Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta have broken their silence, claiming they were “blatantly” left in the dark.
The Reunion That Split the Group
The announcement confirmed that the Pussycat Dolls would return as a trio, launching their tour in Palm Desert, California, on June 5.
The schedule includes a high-profile leg across the UK and Ireland, beginning at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on September 29.
Accompanying the tour is a brand-new single titled “Club Song,” and a commemorative re-release of their iconic albums, PCD and Doll Domination, set for May 8.
However, the glossy promotional rollout was immediately undercut by social media backlash from the original lineup.
“Finding Out with the Fans”: Jessica Sutta Speaks Out
Jessica Sutta, 43, did not hold back when fans asked if she would be joining her former bandmates on stage.
Replying to a comment on Instagram, Sutta revealed a shocking lack of communication within the group.
“They have been planning it for a year and blatantly didn’t ask Carmit and I,” Sutta wrote. “We are finding it all out the same time you are.”
Sutta’s frustration spilled over into several cryptic Instagram Stories.
One post emphasized personal healing after being hurt, while another took a sharper aim at character: “You can go to church every Sunday, but that doesn’t mean God doesn’t see how you treat others.”
Carmit Bachar and the “Pussy Without the Dolls”
Carmit Bachar, 51, a founding member of the group, echoed the sentiment by reposting a scathing video from former producer Eddie Serrano.
In the video, Serrano criticized the decision to move forward as a trio, stating that Bachar was “instrumental in building the brand.”
Serrano’s most viral comment, which Bachar endorsed with a “Luv you” caption, claimed that a three-person lineup “is just the ‘Pussy’ without the ‘Dolls.'”
This highlights a long-standing grievance among the dancers: the perception that the group was often treated as a Nicole Scherzinger solo project with backup dancers.
A History of Internal Friction
This isn’t the first time the Dolls have struggled with internal politics.
The group originally disbanded in 2009 following reports of tension over Scherzinger’s dominant role.
While a full reunion was attempted in 2019—complete with a viral performance on The X Factor UK—it was ultimately derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent legal battles between Scherzinger and the group’s founder, Robin Antin.
While Nicole Scherzinger has recently enjoyed massive success on Broadway, winning a Tony Award for Sunset Boulevard, it appears the bridge to her former colleagues remains burned.
Meanwhile, Melody Thornton, who has frequently expressed her desire to focus on her solo vocal career, has remained silent regarding the new tour.
What Fans Need to Know About the PCD Forever Tour
Despite the drama, ticket demand is expected to be high. The trio has promised a high-energy show featuring “previously unreleased material” and the hits that defined an era.
Key Tour Dates:
- Opening Night: June 5 – Palm Desert, CA
- UK Kick-off: September 29 – Birmingham Utilita Arena
- Album Re-release: May 8 (Includes PCD and Doll Domination)
As the “trio” prepares to take the stage, the industry is watching to see if the public outcry from Bachar and Sutta will force a last-minute reconciliation or if the Pussycat Dolls are truly moving forward as a three-piece forever.
