The Don't Cha singer, 47, was appearing on American breakfast show Today alongside Ashley Roberts, 44, and Kimberly Wyatt, 44 as they continue to promote the band's comeback tour

Kimberley then offered her bandmate assistance, jumping in to say: 'I mean it has been an everchanging lineup and this is what it looks like now in 2026. You never know what comes next.

'I think ultimately we've got to protect our peace. When something like the Pussycat Dolls has so much history, we have ruptured in the past and right now we are repairing and right now we're sort of on the same page with that.'

Nicole then took back over, adding: 'What I wanted to say was that we have so much love and respect for all of the women that have been part of the lead legacy of the Pussycat Dolls.'

'And once a doll, always a doll,' she concluded.

'Its still not to late to answer the question... where are the other dolls?? We want the T'.

While on X, formerly Twitter, another fan said: 'That wasn’t an answer… that was a PR emergency response'; 

'She was trying to choose her words carefully. That moment was a bit awkward. Maybe she didn’t expect that question. It’s not always easy talking about the past';

'Love how real and heartfelt you got the sisterhood still shines through'; 'They caught her off guard, she didn't know how to respond'.   

The Pussycat Dolls first broke up in 2010, with Kimberly saying at the time she was 'unable to grow creatively' in the girl band.

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.

Now a trio, they will release their first single in six years as well as embark on a massive 53-date run across the UK, Europe and North America. 

, Carmit and Jessica have revealed they were both blindsided by the news and were not asked to take part.

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 , 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.'

In an Instagram post shared on March 16, Jessica said she would have 'appreciated a heads up' from her ex-bandmates.

In the post, she said: 'First of all, I want to thank everyone who has reached out with messages of support. I truly appreciate the kindness.

'I do want to clarify a few things. I was never planning to return under the current circumstances, and unfortunately I’m still unable to dance due to ongoing health issues. Because of that, the recent news was difficult for me.

'When rumors about the three girls began circulating, I did try to reach out privately for several months.

'I didn’t receive a response until the night before the announcement, which meant I didn’t have much time to prepare for the reaction that followed online.

'As many of you know, I’ve been grieving the loss of my mom while also dealing with a neurological condition where stress can trigger severe physical pain, so the intensity of the online response has been challenging.'
