"The Pussycat Dolls found themselves coming under fire once again for their racy stage ensembles while performing on Sport Relief on Friday night. Since embarking on their reunion, the girl band has faced backlash with 119 viewers complaining to Ofcom in February over their racy display on The One Show.
And, as the girls slipped into very revealing PVC getups to perform their new single React on Sport Relief 2020's live broadcast, fans were quick to complain on Twitter over their 'porn-like' performance. The group is made up of Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta.
Commenting on The Pussycat Doll's appearance on the BBC show, one viewer suggested the steamy performance was an 'odd fit' for Sport Relief. Another suggested the girls should be more 'discreetly dressed' on stage, while one viewer joked: 'What the hell have The Pussycat Dolls got on I thought I was watching a porn movie #SportsRelief2020.'
A different fan commented: 'Pussycat dolls beautiful women but should be a little more discretely dressed at their age..... #SportsRelief2020.'
While a third tweeted: 'Seriously @pussycatdolls it's 2020, why do you feel that you have to use sex to sell and promote your song #yawn.'
Since embarking on their reunion, the girlband have faced backlash after their raunchy performances on X Factor, The One Show, and Sports Relief have been criticised by viewers. Only recently, they were forced to hit back at suggestions their performances are deemed too sexy after their performance on The One Show at the end of February received 119 complaints to Ofcom.
It prompted BBC to release a statement, who insisted they had worked with the Pussycat Dolls to ensure their performance was 'suitable' for evening audiences.
The broadcaster said: 'We worked with the band to ensure their performance was suitable. The Pussycat Dolls are well known for their dance routines and outfits and we announced at the start of the show that they would be appearing.
'Their performance then came towards the end of the programme, just before 8pm. As with all performers, we worked with the band to ensure their performance was suitable for the programme. 'We felt it was appropriate for the time slot and wouldn’t fall outside the expectations of most viewers. However, we appreciate that some viewers didn’t agree.
'We believe this film highlighted an important issue. We have noted that some viewers felt that these two items shouldn’t have been included in the same programme.' Yet despite the backlash, some fans were loving the girlband's look as they gushed that the Pussycat Dolls had 'slayed' their performance on the fundraising show.
One fan tweeted: 'The Pussycat Dolls killing the stage... That was hot!'
Another gushed: '@pussycatdolls slayed their performance of #REACT on #SportsRelief2020 stream stream stream...'
One more added: '@pussycatdolls loved watching you perform tonight you were brilliant as always!'
Speaking to news.com.au over in Australia, Kimberly Wyatt recently hit back at the criticism: 'I thought we were beyond this, but obviously the conversation needs to continue. We're warriors when we step on stage, throwing everything into it.
'It's unfortunate that it's so misunderstood by so many people. Luckily, we have a presence online now and we can help people understand us, understand dance, understand what intention means as a performer.' Nicole added during an appearance on Australian talk show The Project: 'It takes courage… it’s vulnerable. It takes courage to wear that stuff and do it.
'We always do everything with confidence and the intent of empowering and inspiring others and all of our women out there and anyone who feels like they relate to us… We’re dancing hard like warriors.' Last year, the Pussycat Dolls announced they would be reuniting and heading on tour in 2020. Melody Thornton, who had been a part of the band, chose not to be a part of the reunion.
The Pussycat Dolls first formed in 2003 and split seven years later in 2010." - dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8111207/Sport-Relief-2020-Pussycat-Dolls-face-backlash-storm-stage-racy-PVC-outfits.html
