Have The Pussycat Dolls Split Due To Arguments And Jealousy?

The Pussycat Dolls have split up because of bitter arguments and jealousy over lead singer Nicole Scherzinger’s fame.

The catfight is said to be due to Lewis Hamilton’s girlfriend overshadowing the rest of the group.

“It is war. They have broken up for good,” a source told the New York Post newspaper.

“None of the other girls are speaking to Nicole, who they believe took the limelight, then went off to do her own thing.”

But the band’s founder, dancer and choreographer Robin Antin, has denied the reports.

She told US website Hollyscoop: “The Pussycat Dolls are very much alive and there is no truth to the silent treatment statements.

“Nicole and the Dolls have always been close.

“Nicole is and always has been a strong creative force within this group and I cherish the way we collaborate.”

The girl band started out as a burlesque act in Los Angeles in the mid-1990s and have been through several changes in line-up.

Their first hit was Don’t Cha, featuring rapper Busta Rhymes, which reached number one in 2005.

Reports of an impending break-up have escalated since the quintet announced they were “taking a break” in August.

Robin Antin, founder of girl group Pussycat Dolls, has issued a statement saying there “is no truth” to the rumours that the American girl group had split up.

Media speculation had suggested that the relationship between lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and the rest of group had become strained.

In a statement Antin, who oversees the band, said: “The Pussycat Dolls are very much alive and there is no truth to the silent treatment statements. Nicole and the Dolls have ALWAYS been close.”

Antin went on to add: “Nicole is and always has been a strong creative force within this group and I cherish the way we collaborate.

Finally she said: “The Pussycat Dolls have proven their success over many years and will continue to do so.”

Nicola Scherzinger, partner of Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, is currently working on a solo album.
