Bittersweet World (2008)
Melrose Place
There are a lot of rumours about the reason why Ashlee will not be part of the Melrose Place cast anymore. The show’s executive producer told press that it was the original plan that Ashlee’s part in the show was a short-lived gig and Ashlee, ofcourse, knew about this. Her comment was:
“Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity.”
Later, there were articles posted on the internet with content you could call the opposite of the above.
An insider: “Ashlee didn’t see it coming, and now she’s crushed. She invested her heart and soul into the job. She feels like the rug has been pulled out from under her. She is struggling to hold her marriage together, dealing with motherhood and practically starving herself to look good. Ashlee’s friends are concerned that she’s headed for an emotional meltdown. She was desperate to establish herself as a serious actress, but now she’s worried that she’s failing.”
Even though the executive producer of the show had already given the reason for Ashlee’s departure, rumours are spreading that Ashlee was fired because she could not act. “They hired her because they needed a good name to help create buzz. But she was embarrassingly bad. Producers cut her down as much as possible.”
As if this wasn’t enough, another spreading rumour is that Ashlee got kicked off because of her ‘diva behaviour’. “Ashlee was kicked off ‘Melrose Place’ because she was a total diva on set, late all the time, and deeply disliked by fellow cast members. It created a lot of discord among the cast. She could barely act,” the source said.
How much crazier will it get?
I will end this post with one last rumour about Ashlee’s departure.
There’s this rumour that says that Heather Locklear had Ashlee Simpson fired from the show. “Heather was jealous of Ashlee immediately. She knew Ashlee was one of the bigger names on set, and she wanted her gone so she could make it her show. Heather is very political and calculating…”
A source also revealed that producers desperately wanted Heather Locklear to reprise her role, but couldn’t afford her salary demands without cutting someone.
It’s insane how people can make up things. I hate rumours.
