Carmit Bachar is singing a break-up anthem to her ex-bandmates after Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt decided to hit the road as a stripped-down trio—reviving old wounds from the doomed 2020 reunion.
The Pussycat Dolls are resurrecting their brand—just not the version fans thought they’d get. Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt are quietly plotting a three-woman tour for late 2026, Reality Tea first revealed. Left on the sidelines: original member Carmit Bachar, who answered the snub by blasting the empowerment track “I’m Letting Go of the Bulls**t” on Instagram Stories.
From Dollhouse to Doghouse: What Carmit Posted
Bachar reposted a TikTok of Nick Hustles’ viral kiss-off anthem, highlighting the lyric “fake friends shiesty h*es.” She captioned it “My 2026 anthem,” timestamping the shade hours after trade sites confirmed the trio’s under-the-radar rehearsals. It’s the first public hint that the 2019 full-lineup reunion—which included Bachar and Jessica Sutta—has fractured again.
The Ghost of 2020’s Cancelled Tour
Fans remember the euphoric X Factor UK performance that November: all six Dolls in matching latex, debuting the Liam Payne-co-written banger “React,” promising a 36-date arena run that spring. COVID delays kept pushing the trek until Scherzinger abruptly announced its cancellation via Instagram in January 2022. Bachar and Sutta claimed they learned the news at the same time as the public, and legal threats followed. The new trio format effectively sidelines both women and sidelines any legal obligations to the 2020 contracts.
Why Three Is the Magic Number Now
Promoters see the trio setup as low-risk: Scherzinger supplies the signature vocals, Roberts and Wyatt bring the fan-favorite dance breaks. A smaller split of nightly grosses means each woman earns more, and complicated six-way choreography logistics disappear. Insiders tell Reality Tea the set-list will lean on Doll Domination deep cuts plus a remixed “React” minus Bachar’s harmonies.
What Carmit Loses—and Keeps
- Missed paydays: A 20-show U.K./EU leg could gross $15 million; her cut would have landed near seven figures.
- Legacy control: The trio can reshape narratives around biggest hits, potentially erasing the original ensemble story.
- Master revenue: Bachar still earns SoundExchange royalties; touring is the only pie she won’t taste.
Fan Fallout: #JusticeForCarmit Trends
Within minutes of Bachar’s post, the Dolls’ fandom flooded TikTok with side-by-side clips of her ad-libs on “Buttons” versus the proposed trio version. Twitter topic #JusticeForCarmit hit 18,000 mentions overnight, many tagging concert promoters AEG to demand either a fair five-piece reunion or transparency about the 2022 cancellation settlement. Some super-fans vow to boycott presales until Sutta also speaks.
Could a Full Reunion Still Happen?
Concert sources say Wyatt has privately floated the idea of special hometown shows that add Bachar and Sutta, but Scherzinger’s camp reportedly vetoed anything that fragments top billing. Record-label execs have no appetite for new music until ticket demand is proven, meaning the trio holds the cards—and the set list—for the foreseeable future.
