Former Pussycat Dolls star takes swipe at ex bandmates

AN ex-Pussycat Doll has taken a subtle swipe at Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt after it was revealed the three of them are reuniting for a world tour. 

The Sun confirmed this week that Nicole, 47, Ashley and Kimberly, both 44, will take their hits out on the road again – four years after their previous comeback plans fell apart.

But Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton will not be returning. 

Despite not being part of the new plans, Carmit, 51, has taken to social media to celebrate one of the group’s most iconic hits reaching 100 million streams on Spotify. 

Sharing a clip from the Beep music video, the singer appeared to make it clear that she’ll always be a part of the Pussycat Dolls’ legacy. 

Carmit wrote: “20 years of BEEP music video and here we are, still feeling the love.

“100 millions streams on @spotify is a reminder that music really does live beyond the moment it’s created. Thank you to every @pussycatdolls fan who’s listened, danced, remembered and shared!”

Fans were quick to comment on the post and share their disappointment over Carmit not being part of the new plans for the group. 

One wrote: “Sad you aren’t going on tour, but I totally get it.” And another said: “If you’re not returning with the band I will not be there to support.” 

In 2019 the Pussycat Dolls, minus 41-year-old Melody, made a sensational comeback nine years after disbanding with a medley performance on The X Factor. 

During the act Nicole – who was a judge on the ITV show at the time – and the girls even debuted comeback single React before later announcing live shows across the globe.

The tour was originally set to kick off in 2020 but was pushed back a year due to the pandemic before later being shelved altogether over a disagreement between Nicole and the group’s founder Robin Antin which was eventually settled out of court.

But it’s full steam ahead now for Nicole, Ashley and Kimberley who were seen at dinner together in London’s Mayfair this week, where they were said to be ironing out the final details of the tour deal. 

Nicole first hinted at plans for the latest comeback with a social media post in December when she shared an old video of the group.

She wrote: “For the PCD fans. For the memories. For what’s to come.”

The Pussycat Dolls arrived on the music scene in 2005 with their debut single Don’t Cha and went on to shift more than 54 million records, making them one of the world’s best-selling girl groups.
