The female group’s member Kimberly Wyatt says that the Pussycat Dolls reunion will go ahead featuring Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Carmit Bachar.
Initially postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kimberly says it is set to begin next September, stating: “Nobody has told me that it has been cancelled so I’m holding onto the hope that it’s September 2022 until I’m told otherwise. I’m desperate to get out there. I had finally felt like I was in the groove, I was ready for it – let’s go! The fans deserve it. They have supported us for so long. We need to get out there and do what we do.”
The future of the tour was placed in abeyance earlier this year when Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin filed a lawsuit claiming that lead singer and front woman Nicole Scherzinger was refusing to participate unless she 1. received complete creative control in relaunching the group, and 2. a bigger percentage of profits.
According to Scherzinger’s attorney, Howard King, the claims were “ludicrous and false” and alleged the lawsuit was “a desperate attempt to divert blame for her own failures by trying to impose obligations on Nicole that simply do not exist”.
The lawyer went on to say: “Robin will fail in her efforts to trade on Nicole’s hard-earned success to pull herself out of a deep financial hole she has created by her own poor business and professional decisions. “Prior to Nicole’s involvement, trading on Nicole’s name without her consent, Robin borrowed (and spent) $600,000 from Live Nation that she won’t or can’t repay. “Nicole has invested her own funds in excess of $150,000 in support of a potential PCD reunion that has now been made impossible by Robin’s actions (including the public release of the group members’ confidential financial information). “Nicole loves and respects the PCD fans and hopes to one day be back on stage performing the group’s amazing hits for them. Sadly, this will not happen under these circumstances.”
