Why were these stars let go from their TV shows? From Fuller House to Crossroads, here's why the show was let go
February 01, 2023 - 10:24 GMT Emmy Griffiths Sometimes when things aren’t working out, there is nothing for it but to step away. And sometimes- in cases such as these - there isn’t a choice in the matter. Learning that favourite characters have been fired from their roles is a rare occurrence, but has happened over the years.
Lori Loughlan - Fuller House Lori was let go from the sitcom reboot after being involved in the college admissions scandal. At the time, she was vocally supported by her co-star Andrea Barber, who told US Weekly’s Watch with Us podcast:"She was a big part of Fuller House. She wasn’t in every episode, but her presence was definitely felt. We loved every single time she came on the set. So we have definitely felt her absence this season.
Janet Hubert - The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Janet was recast as Aunt Viv on the popular show but denies that she was fired. Speaking in the HBO special, she said:"During that third season when I got pregnant, there were a lot of things going on in my life, and in Will’s life as well… They offered me this really bad deal in the third season… So that meant my salary was cut… So I said, ‘No.’ I did not accept their offer. I was never fired, so the misconception was always put out there.
