Rolling Stone nails it:

Couldn't this have been handled better?
In short, yes. If the news of the past couple of weeks is to be believed, Wretzky seems to be getting a lot of information about the Smashing Pumpkins reunion via the Internet. The upcoming tour is a multimillion-dollar enterprise. A lot is riding on its success. "We have to prove to world we can compete at the highest level," Corgan texted, "or tour [will] never get out of America." He's right. The Pumpkins have been flogging their hits for a decade now. Bringing that show from theaters back into arenas requires a meticulous plan, so why did they put Wretzky into the position where she could severely damage it like she has? When they finally announce the thing, much of attention will be on the simple fact that she isn't a part of it. It's essentially an "Iha's Back!" tour. And as much as we love James Iha, he isn't Slash. It won't be enough to bring in the masses that were skeptical of previous lineups. With all that in mind, why didn't they sit down with D'arcy much earlier and work through all this? They could have avoided this whole mess instead of raising everyone's expectations. Also, if D'arcy truly hoped to be a part of the tour, releasing screenshots of texts probably wasn't wise.
