Pussycat Dolls Relaunch as Trio as Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta Detail Their Absences

Carmit Bachar says she was not contacted about the decision.

Overview

  • Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt announced new music and the PCD Forever global tour, with ticket presales on March 18 and general sale on March 20.
  • On March 17, Carmit Bachar told fans on Instagram that she was not contacted about the reunion and learned of it at the same time as the public.
  • Jessica Sutta said in a March 14–15 Instagram statement that she did not plan to return under the current circumstances, is unable to dance due to health issues, and received a reply from the trio only the night before the announcement.
  • Sutta added that she is grieving her mother’s death and disputed press-release language about excluded members seeking “attention.”
  • Complex reports the tour is scheduled to start June 5 in Palm Desert, California, with Lil’ Kim and Mya as openers, and a new single titled “Club Song” has been announced; the Daily Mail, citing The Sun, relays an unnamed source’s claim the trio sought to “protect their peace” and notes founder Robin Antin’s reduced role after a 2020 reunion collapsed in a legal dispute.
