Kimberly Wyatt announced that she has decided to leave the Pussycat Dolls.

Kim had recently said she wasn't sure about the future of the band and now she plans to create a new group .

Kimberly said: "I've left the group. I am so thankful for everything the Pussycat Dolls have brought into my life. But I have to say there were just too many variables that I couldn't agree with and I had to follow my heart. So I decided to kind of push on with my own life."

"Money and fame can't buy happiness. Ultimately I think that happiness is the most important thing in life and I think that once I started to get to know myself more and more I was like, 'You know, I don't think that happiness is within this group right now'. I wish that it was different because I love what we do on stage. I love being a Doll, but as far as the variables off-stage are concerned, I just couldn't do it anymore.
