Last night fans of the BET hit comedy were shocked to learn that Tia Mowry Hardrict and Pooch Hall would not be a part of The Game’s sixth season when the show returns next fall.
Rumor and speculation had been brewing, but with no confirmation until Mowry Hardrict broke the news via Twitter account.
“Just wanted to let all my fans know that I will not be returning to The Game for season 6,” Mowry Hardrict tweeted. “It was an incredible run and I had lots of fun.”
Earlier yesterday, Mowry Hardrict appeared on The Wendy Williams Show, but there was no mention whatsoever of her departure from the cast of The Game. She only promoted her new book “Oh Baby!,” which hit bookstores today, and the second season of her hit Style reality series, Tia and Tamera.
Hiphollywood.com first reported that an exclusive source informed them Hardrict and Hall were given walking papers and would not be back as their characters, Melanie and Derwin, for the next season of the series – which has already been renewed.
Hall has yet to officially comment.
Information from Hiphollywood.com and Twitter.com contributed to this report.
