Rumors that Disney rid themselves of the Cheetah Girls are somewhat true according to Cheetah Girl stars Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams.
"I think that the brand has come to an end," says Bailon, who was caught in a nude photo scandal late last year.
Dismissing rumors that Disney ended the franchise, which included several movies and merchandising deals, with the girls after Bailon's nearly nude photos upset parents Bailon says "Like everything, High School Musical will no longer be. Same thing. We had a great run."
Bailon and Kiely Williams, previously in the hit R&B group 3LW which hit a road bump when, now 'Notorious' star Naturi Naughton left the group at the peak of their success, look forward to other projects.
While Bailon seems content with the end of the Cheetah Girls, Williams, who was rumored to have said that the group was fired due to Bailon's photos and the backlash that ensued afterward, says she's sad that the photos put a damper on their ending.
"We were excited about going out on a high note. It's sad that this negative attention put a damper on that".
Since their debut in August of 2003, The Cheetah Girls have released three movies, three studio albums (one certified Platinum, another certified 2X Platinum), and a host of merchandising deals including dolls.
Originally launched with former Cosby-kid Raven Symone, The Cheetah Girls, based on books written by Deborah Gregory (of the same name), have been applauded for presenting a positive and diverse image for children.

One sellout down.
Kids should listen to decent bands like Sirenia or Finger Eleven.
Pain's song "Feed us" have a message, unlike Disney groups.
Pain's Feed us:
The world is filled with desperate people
Looking with their desperate eyes
While hollywood stars and their big fat cars
Tries to get all the attention they can get
Tell your bodyguard to pick up the thrash
You're in the focus now
Too many drinks, crashed your cars
Can you live it up?
Feed us, with scandrals
Tell us, who did what
You've got our attention
Feed us, we're desperate
They're following every step
They'll keep you company into your grave
Stop waving at people while you're cruising down the red carpets path
Just suck in all the flashes and pretend you care while signing away your autograph
Feed us, with scandrals
Tell us, who did what
You've got our attention
Feed us, we're desperate
Me & Nick wishing a happy brithday
Adrienne I really like hottie photos. Your photos are really so funny alot.
Every since Adrienne joined "The Kardashian Clan" she been bringing down the group and her image so I blame her.
I think we should cut this girl some slack!You people act like Vanessa Anne Hudgens didn't do this and let's not forget about Ms. Miley Cyrus. Adrienne I still got much love for you and don't let anyone tell you anything different!
good thing raven left when she did!
I think that's really bad on your part sorry huny but I really liked you as a good singer and everything why would you do that, thats very wrong.
nice looking apearence
nice looking apiarence.................
that's not so great.
Too bad, we finally get a show where we have positive characters for our children to look up to and to be tarnished for this display is really sad. My question is was it really worth it?
Adrienne's blatant attempt to get attention ruined the ending time of the Cheetah Girls. Their fans wanted it to end on a high note, but Adrienne being her self absorbed self spoiled it. I will all the luck in the world to Kiely and Sabrina. Hope they have lots of success and make people forget Adrienne Baillon even exists.
