“As an original member of The Pussycat Dolls, that chapter of my life will always hold profound meaning. I carry with me deep gratitude for the music we created, the experiences we shared, and most importantly, the incredible fans around the world who supported us. I am especially thankful to the LGBTQ+ community—performing at Pride events has been among the most meaningful and joyful moments of my career,” she began.
“In light of recent developments, I feel it is important to speak honestly and respectfully. I was not contacted regarding the group’s decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public. Given my history with the brand, having been part of its foundation long before its commercial debut and instrumental in the connections that led to the record deal… I would have appreciated direct communication.”
“While this is disappointing on a personal level, I remain proud of the role I played in helping shape what The Pussycat Dolls became. I believe the legacy of any group is built not only by those seen on stage, but also by the collective contributions and shared vision that brought it to life,” Carmit continued.
“My intention in sharing this is not to create division, but to honor the truth and the fans who have supported us throughout the years. Transparency and respect are values I hold deeply.”
“At this time, I am choosing to focus on my well-being and to move forward with positivity and purpose. I remain open-hearted about the future and grateful for the continued love and encouragement I receive. Looking ahead, I’ll be sharing new creative projects, including upcoming music, visual work, and an exciting collaboration with a television and music industry icon… soon!” she concluded.
The existing group explained their current trio lineup in an interview ahead of their world tour.
Bandmate Jessica Sutta also issued a statement about not being included.
