Career highlights

The Pussycat Dolls years (2002–2009)

In 2002, Kimberly Wyatt became a dancer on the comedy show Cedric the Entertainer Presents. The next year, in 2003, a choreographer named Robin Antin saw Kimberly.

Kimberly joined the group with Nicole Scherzinger, Melody Thornton, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, and Jessica Sutta. The Pussycat Dolls became very famous around the world.

Even though the group was very successful, there were some problems. The focus was mostly on Nicole Scherzinger, which made the other members feel less important.
