Despite their commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict due to the emphasis on Scherzinger and the subordinate treatment of the other members.[6] In February 2010, for these reasons, Wyatt, Sutta, Roberts, and Thornton had announced their departures from the Pussycat Dolls and the group disbanded.[7]
