Pussycat Dolls Return as Trio, With Carmit Bachar Saying She Was Not Contacted

Excluded members now say they were not contacted in advance of the trio's return.

Overview

  • Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt relaunched the group on March 12 with the single “Club Song” and announced the PCD Forever Tour starting June 5 in Palm Desert, California, with Lil' Kim and Mya as openers.
  • On March 17, Carmit Bachar posted that she was not contacted about the decision to proceed and learned of the plans at the same time as the public.
  • Jessica Sutta said she was never planning to return under the current circumstances, cited ongoing health issues that prevent her from dancing, and noted she only received a reply from the trio the night before the announcement.
  • Sutta added that she is grieving the loss of her mother and disputed a press-release suggestion that excluded members sought attention, saying she would have appreciated earlier notice.
  • The lineup excludes original members Sutta, Bachar and Melody Thornton, reviving tensions following a 2020 reunion that was canceled during COVID-19 and a Robin AntinNicole Scherzinger legal dispute settled in 2025, with social media criticism including a reposted video from former producer Eddie Serrano.
