AND SHE'S OUTTA THERE! Stacey Dash LEAVES "Single Ladies"!

Where there's smoke, there's fire.  "Single Ladies" lead actress Stacey Dash just confirmed she has indeed decided to leave the hit show.  And the fact she doesn't give an exact reason as to why, makes us believe the catfight (with co-star LisaRaye McCoy) rumors and diva antics rumors even more.

 

Read on for the deets....

The middle aged hot black actresses of Hollywood better polish up those resumes.  Because a position just opened on the set of VH1's hit scripted series "Single Ladies."

They kick off Season Two in just a few weeks, and apparently, Stacey Dash will NOT be showing up to work.  She tells Global Grind she "decided to leave" the show.  In a statement put out today, the 45-year-old actress commented her reason to leave has something to do with needing to be with her children:

"I truly enjoyed playing Val on 'Single Ladies', but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in LA with my children right now and the 'Single Ladies' shooting location makes that impossible. I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one.”

I guess shooting in Atlanta just isn't cutting it for Stacey.  Or is there more to the story?  We broke the story back in May when the drama FIRST started on set that Stacey and LisaRaye were beefing during filming, mainly because of Stacey's diva antics.  Fights and arguments and name calling ensued.  But when asked about their drama--both of them sheepishly denied it.

Fast forward to last month when rumors hit the net that Stacey was fired.  And VH1 put out a statement saying it wasn't true.  At least not yet.

Now today, VH1's statement is as follows:

"VH1 respects Stacey’s decision and her commitment to what she feels is best for her family. We thank her for all of her hard work in making ‘Single Ladies’ a success right out of the gate, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future plans."

Sounds like they indeed fired her diva (but hot) ass and let her save face by saying it was her decision to leave.  Y'all know how the Hollywood like to protect their necks at all costs.  But you're just going to leave a hit show with good money out of the blue?  If you say so....

So what does this mean for the show?  Will Val be recast?  Will the character be dropped completely? "And right before our yearbook pictures?  What are we gonna tell our grandkids Murray?"

Time will tell...

Stacy Dash without a doubt

Stacy Dash without a doubt made the show a success with her charm, she had charisma, the fashions that was worn every week only look good on everone else when she was standing next to the other actors or actress. I have a problem with shows like this one when you have something good going why do the producers, directors, writers and staff always manage to destroy a good show, because without stacy this show will not last another season, the new girl cannot act, she does not come across the screen as very marketable, lisa-raye has to much attitude and the other actress is dull and unassuming. Stacy is funny and very likeable, lisa-raye is not funny, stacy is sexy, lisa-raye is not, lisa-raye just couldn't handle the competition and will never measure up to stacy dash. Good luck on the rest of the season I am not watching it.

I was excited about the second season of "Single Ladies" then I found out Val the main character was eliminated, so there is no point in watching the show. I was waiting to know what happened with Val' s love life, what a disappointment.

The show without Stacey Dash

The show without Stacey Dash is pointless. They didn't even get to finish off her story with her love life. I think they should put their differences behind them and work everything out. Charity Shea & LisaRaye are wonderful actresses and so is Denise Vasi but they show would be so much better with Stacey. <3 STACEY GOOO BACK to Single Ladies your were the reason I watched the Show !!!!!

The new girl really can't

The new girl really can't act, she seems so fake. It's hard to replace Stacy, she did a fantastic job. I love the show, but it has lost a lot of spice in my book. Last season I wouldn't be typing now, I would be watching, trying not to miss a second of the show. That says it all.

I love single ladies and no

I love single ladies and no matter who replaces Val (Stacye Dash) the show is good, you have to keep it real, its a job rather she got fired or quit, the SHOW MUST GO ON, just like any company who loses an awesome employee....should I close my business if my best employee leaves. Come on people everyone has to work and I don't feel April, Keisha, Omar should lose their jobs because of one person...Just like on Martin they should of just replace Gina and kept the show going no telling how the show would of turned out. So we have to roll with the punches with life.

Single Ladies Season 1 and

Single Ladies Season 1 and Season 2 will still be successful. Lisa Raye makes a difference in the show overall with her excellent talent. Stacy Dash was excellent in season 2 but the main focus is Lisa Raye. I will continue to watch season 2 and looking forward to it.

I love the show Preiod. Point

I love the show Preiod. Point Blank. The fact that Stacy Dash was still clueless acting fit the part perfectly. Lisa-Raye is a great actor and probably alot stronger mentally than Stacy just as the situation was probably the same for All of Us. Because one thing about it, not one individual esp another female gonna stop my grind. And why do u all have to be so damn negative. Either you're gonna watch the 2nd season or you're not. Im sure Lisa-Raye, the white girl, Omar and everyone else could give about 2fuqs about what you all think. They are making money off of every word u fools put on here. The show will be equally as good as it was the 1st season. And if you miss out because Stacy is gone or you just dont like Lisa, then oh well. And for the record, the white girl is a good actress. She brings a fresh new amatuer face and skill to the screen.

Stacy Dash is good I might

Stacy Dash is good I might not watch it without her she was the main character to me why would she just up and leave the show I heard they trying to replace her with Megan Good I'm tired of seeing her face she isn't that good of an actor actually she's not funny and way to dramatic for this show she's amateur and isn't right for the part of val val is a strong caring family person character Megan Good plays a boyfriend thief all the time but I'm not going to assume anything

I will be sad to see Stacy

I will be sad to see Stacy Dash leave the show. I love this show and the role fit her perfectly. It will be hard to replace her. But it will have to be someone equally as good of an actress as she is in order for me to continue to watch the show.
