A bitter feud has erupted between members of The Pussycat Dolls just hours after they announced their first global tour in 17 years.
Despite previously being a six-piece band, the ladies are reuniting as a trio with Nicole Scherzinger, 47, Ashley Roberts, 44, and Kimberly Wyatt, 44, preparing to head out on a massive 53-date run across the UK, Europe and North America.
But three of the bands members; Carmit Bachar, 51, Jessica Sutta, 43, and Melody Thornton, 41, have not returned for the upcoming tour.
Carmit and Jessica have now revealed they were both blindsided by the reunion and were not asked to take part.
Taking to Instagram, Carmit reposted a video of the girl group's former producer Eddie Serrano criticising the three-piece reunion.
He said: 'I'm here to talk about one thing… I have been very close friends to a lot of Pussycat Dolls, Carmit you know you're my sister.

The Pussycat Dolls were originally a six-piece band with Nicole Scherzinger as the lead (L-R Melody Thornton, Kimberly Wyatt, Nicole, Ashley Roberts, Jessica and Carmit)
'I'm very upset about this Pussycat Doll 'reunion'… I do have a problem when I see my home girls, who were very instrumental in building the brand, not a part of this 'reunion'.
'We need to see them as a unit, not just as three girls that's not the Pussycat Dolls, that's just the 'Pussy' without the 'Dolls.''
Alongside the clip, the singer wrote: 'Luv you.'
Meanwhile, Jessica revealed she only found out about the reunion at the same time as the rest of the world.
Asked by a fan if she was going to meet up with the rest of the Pussycat Dolls, Jessica replied: 'No, I'm not.'
'They have been planning it for a year and blatantly didn't ask Carmit and I. We are finding it all out the same time you are.'
Jessica then shared several cryptic posts to her Instagram Stories which appeared to hit out at her bandmates.
One read: 'Pray that god keeps removing who's not meant for you and revealing what you need to see. Even if it hurts right now, he's making room for what's truly yours.'

Another said: 'You can go to church every Sunday, but that doesn't mean God doesn't see how you treat others and what you do.'
And a third read: 'Those who hurt you will see how God heals you – publicly, beautifully, and beyond what they expected.'
Former member Melody Thornton has so far remained silent about the reunion.
The Pussycat Dolls first broke up in 2010, with Kimberly saying at the time she was 'unable to grow creatively' in the group.
Nicole went on to launch a solo career and the group reunited as a five-piece without Melody Thornton in 2019, releasing the single React. They intended to go on a reunion tour in 2020 but it was cancelled due to Covid.
Speculation of a comeback first started when the trio were spotted enjoying a night out together at swanky restaurant Gaia in London's Mayfair last month.
Tickets for the upcoming highly-anticipated tour in the UK and Europe will be available from Wednesday, March 18th for pre-sale and general sale begins on Friday, March 20.
