Kimberly Wyatt has revealed her world ‘crumbled’ when the Pussycat Dolls reunion was cancelled, leaving her broke.
The American singer and dancer, 42, opened up about how the failed tour affected her family life.
Speaking about the Mile Fly Club With Laura Hamilton, Kimberly admitted that she cleared her schedule to make room for the reunion, but went into “panic mode” when it was scrapped.
“Three young children, paying school fees and all these things – it changed our world,” she said. ‘We have had to reshape our entire lives as a result.’
Kimberly added, “You’re finishing a lot of your work to clear all this space to get on the road, so when it all came crashing down, it was panic.”

She went on to talk about the band’s frontwoman, Nicole Scherzinger, while shedding light on whether they are still close and if the band would reunite without her.
Kimberly described Nicole as ‘very elusive and very busy’ and admitted it is difficult to know how the former X Factor judge feels about the group.
“That’s not my choice since I don’t own the group,” Kimberly said. ‘But the brand could.
“I don’t know what the future holds for The Pussycat Dolls, and I don’t know if I have the power to make anything happen. But I’m always looking for opportunities to bring the girls back together.
‘I mainly have contact with Robin, and the girls, and a little bit Nicole, she is very elusive and very busy. It’s hard to figure out what she wants to do next and where she stands with the group.”
It comes after former Pussycat Dolls bandmate Melody Thornton appeared to take a dig at the star over her apparent support for Donald Trump this week.
Nicole, 46, angered fans after commenting on Russell Brand’s ‘Make Jesus First Again’ post on Election Day Tuesday – with fans accusing her of ‘coming out as a Trump supporter’ amid the second victory of the businessman in the presidential elections.
Melody, 40 – who has had a famously bitter relationship with Nicole – took to Instagram to re-share a 2016 photo of Ben Affleck smoking with a pained expression on his face – which has become a famous internet meme.

“Three young children, paying school fees and all these things – it changed our world,” she said. ‘We have had to reform our entire lives because of this’
Fans were quick to comment, “She always knew!”, “Melody’s been a little down since the election, let’s support the queen who knew all along,” and “Lmaooo, I’m here for it.”
Since the death of PCD, Melody has made no secret of the drama within the group.
A viral video showed the group Frerform at the American Music Awards in 2006.
Nicole takes the lead as the others dance behind her, before Melody suddenly takes center stage to demonstrate her vocal prowess – much to Nicole’s chagrin.
Nicole’s alleged anger did not go unnoticed, as one fan previously shared on Twitter: ‘In honor of the Pussycat Dolls reunion, a moment before Melody Thornton went rogue with ad-libs and Nicole Scherzinger was visibly furious’
Other comments on social media included: ‘It would have been so epic to be backstage after this performance
‘Nicole deserved it! She literally locked Melody in the closet so she wouldn’t perform, but the good sister escaped and came to steal the show at the last minute. Nicole was angry that she escaped.
“Nicole gave her the ‘stay in your lane’ look” and “Sis really stretched those Adlibs as long as she could.”

Melody has taken a swipe at Nicole before admitting she was struggling to find her voice in the group.
During an appearance on Lorraine, the belter explained: “The problem for me stemmed from… she is [Nicole] got this Christina Aguilera style and I thought my dreams would come true. Then the gears shifted with difficulty.
‘Nicole had been in two groups before and she had all this experience recording albums and so they said, ‘We’re going to let Nicole do the whole recording, you’re going to have to learn it and you’re going to go dance with the rest of the girls”.
‘I wasn’t using my best asset… and people came to know me for something I didn’t do and I was the weakest dancer. It was just very challenging, it was tough. But we did have fun, but that’s your introduction to the adult world.’
‘For me, I’m a singer first and a lot of people don’t know that and so I came into the group and they said ‘you’re going to dance’ and I was like ‘I can’t dance!’
“And it was a very difficult time for me, so when it was over I was like, ‘great, the next chapter,’” she said.
