Stacey Dash Fired from “Single Ladies?”

Tuesday, August 9th 2011 | Leave a Comment

The drama-filled season finale of “Single Ladies” aired last night, but it looks like there is even more drama behind the scenes.

According to the rumor mill (tipped off by a tweet from journalist Jawn Murray), Stacey Dash — who plays one of the lead roles on the popular VH1 show — was fired, and a search has been underway for the past few weeks to find her replacement.

Murray also tweeted that Dash clashed with her co-star LisaRaye, as well as other cast members, which ultimately led to her being let go from the show.

Right after the “Single Ladies” season finale aired Monday night, STacey Dash Dash tweeted the following, as if she’s still a part of the cast:

WELL? Fantastic, right? Isn’t the writer brilliant? Can’t wait to see what Stacy Littlejohn has in mind for Season 2! 1 more hour here in LA

“Single Ladies,” VH1′s first hour-long scripted series, was picked up for another season. Averaging at around 3 million viewers every Monday night, the show has proven to be a success so far.

So all of these “Stacey Dash was fired” talks could, indeed, be a clever publicity stunt cooked up by the network’s publicity department.

What do you think?

    Its a well known inside fact that she is a psycho…so not surprised at all…I do feel bad they are trying to blame Lisa Raye…Stacy would have ruined this regardless of who the cast was…

  • JaneWonderfalls

    I don’t know if I believe this, who else is going to step in and play the part. They have already established Val as not say the center of the show but her character is not really set up to be replaceable, at least not yet.

  • michaela

    i think stacey dash was the only decent one. her morals were the best out of the group. personally i liked her the best. idk how it will go next season. i really dont like lisa she is so damn ghetto. but i hope she really isnt being fired and she will come back. but damn i didnt even know it was the season finale. it went by soo fast. but it was good, also i really dont like all that gay shit. its fucking disgusting to me

  • Bee

    I don’t think she’s fired! I’m actually looking forward to the new show. Personally i like Keisha’s character the most, stacy dash, and the two white girls on the show…I could care less. I feel like they are misplaced in the show. But hpmph hopefully they’ll do something good with those two. I don’t believe it and I can’t wait til the second season.

  • Kim

    I don’t believe this rumor!!!! when they said that LisaRaye and Stacey got into a physical fight on the set I didn’t believe it!!!! LisaRaye comfirmed it on Wendy Williams show that they had a difference of opinions but nobody got physically. DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!

  • Tasia

    I think that the show will go into crap I mean how are you going to change one of the main caracters. Stacey dash is the one for the part and changing val will just confuse things and just make it so not like single ladies. The show will suck. they need to put aside the stupid backstage crap and earn there money they are not there for the friendship they are there for the money.

  • jackie

    she can be replaced! anybody can be replaced. i hope she gets replaced because she thinks that she is better than the other cast. lisa raye is a better actress and also is much better looking!! (so is the gay guy). ;-)

  • Lynn

    Don’t believe everything you read. Unless it’s straight from the horses mouth!

  • Mike

    Personally I love this show! And Val is my favorite character. Stacey Dash cannot be replaced. And MICHAELA, that “gay shit” is not disgusting! Your apparently close-minded…and they should show more homosexual themes…

  • vil4real

    No! Absolutely not! I will not watch the show without Stacey Dash as Val. Why is it when we finally get a great show to watch that we can relate to, things get messed up with attitudes? If Stacey leaves, this show will take the same direction that Girlfriends did when Jill Marie left. I have many friends that watch just to see what Stacey is wearing, so you can count them out. Even though Lisa Raye is a fair actress, I don’t think the show stands a chance w/out Stacey. As a matter of fact, I doubt very seriously if I would watch. I will only hope that if she isn’t coming back that she finds another network to create a similar show with her starring in it, b/c I would definitely watch it. Hey Stacey, talk to Cathy Hughes at TV One, I’d bet she would love to have a show with the same premise that would bring great popularity to her network and I would love to see a show like this on TV One. By the way Cathy Hughes is my shero and mentor.

    I am suspicous, I really cannot see them firing her at this point and time. The show is going oh so well. I know several people that cant wait for Monday night, so that the can sit down for the show.
    To the network: re think this decision, if it is true. You will lose a lot of viewer, that mix of women brings a lot to the table. Oh and by the way, I know that you are trying to be politically correct, but the gay men in the show is not a good fit.

  • Rasheda

    I really could care less if she was replaced or not. I don’t have anything against her but her character is dry. And I could do without seeing her or the rest of them, with the exception of Lisa Rae, and the gay guy he makes me laugh. If they make her character a little stronger; I may be more receptive to her. They set her character up to be this strong stable independent woman. And she’s by far the dumbest and most clueless on the show when it comes to everyday life. And to Michaela I really wish you look up the meaning of ghetto. And stop using it to refer to a persons actions and really find the true meaning of the word. As for Lisa-Rae’s character when has gold digging become a ghetto thing that shit is universal. In many cultures, languages and sexes. Everybody’s looking for a come up.

    I hate to see Stacey Dash leaving like this. It appeared that this was her big chance to regain some star power. But, if they are considering a replacement, I’d like to throw in a vote for Golden Brooks, formerly of Girlfriends. Ms. Brooks is equally attractive and the girl can flat out act! In girlfriends, she acted rings around her castmates. I think she’d be a great choice to replace Ms. Dash. And as for Ms. Dash, if she is really the “diva” that people say she is, maybe this will be a wake-up call for her to apply some wisdom to her work. That will keep her employed longer than one season. Thanks.

    Please don’t do this…BEST SHOW SINCE GIRLFRIENDS AND THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mzbonvivant

    I really like the trio that makes up the cast “Single Ladies” but I really would like to see Jennifer Hudson on Keisha Knight take on the role as Val!

  • teah

    I hope that this rumor is not true. I really like this show, and my friends do as well. It’s like every time we get a show that we start to like, it’s always some back stage drama that threatens to ruin a good thing. As far as I’m concerned neither one of them have been in the spotlight for a while, so I would think that if there is any behind the scenes drama that they would squash that petty crap and enjoy their moment in the spotlight. Acting jobs are hard to come by in Hollywood, and three times as hard for blacks, so they need to chill and appreciate their chance to use the skills!

    If Stacy is gone I won’t be able to watch it. She’s not the best but neither are any of them. And the Aussie is the worst. She could go and I might watch it more. Stacy is needed because she’s the only one of the single ladies who’s a hopeless romantic. The others are hoish.

    No STACEY DASH – No show!!! Lisa Raye is trouble everywhere she goes…she deliberately started that “CAT FIGHT,” rumor has it that Lisa Raye is a very jealous, sneaky, low-down under minded “B” to most of her competition. Ms. Raye needs to get over herself…Stacey caught on to you Ms. Diva Raye :-(
