Lisa Raye Responds To 'Single Ladies' Stacey Dash Fired Rumor

Rumors are continuing to circulate regarding Stacey Dash‘s firing from VH1’s Single Ladies.   Although In Touch Weekly posted statements confirming the network was currently seeking Stacey’s replacement, neither Ms. Dash nor any other cast mates have yet to comment about the matter…well that is everyone except for Lisa Raye – in a very indirect manner.

Yesterday we recapped that Lisa Raye and Stacey Dash were involved in a very heated argument earlier in the show’s taping.   That squabble allegedly ended with Stacey storming off the set yelling;

“Nο, I ain’t coming back unless that bitch gets her ass kicked!”

According to media sources, Lisa Raye was getting fed up with shouldering the blame for her cast mates possible firing and decided to address her critics via face book;

“As everyone know I am in Italy vacationing. I was just made aware of the lies that are being spread by Mediatakeout and other blogs that like to create false stories. I was not even aware that Stacy Dash had been fired from Single Ladies. Furthermore if she has been fired that is a network decision. I don’t have the power to get her fired nor do I have any beef with her. Now im going to go continue enjoying my vacation!”

Lisa continued to vent her frustrations through another familiar, celebrity medium…Twitter.

“Regarding the rumors swirling around “Single Ladies” all I know is that we’ll be back with Season 2 and I have no knowledge of anything else.”

Although Stacey Dash’s firing remains simply a rumor, VH1 is certainly not helping by posting cryptic messages such as this one;

“At this time, no casting decisions have been made for the second season of Single Ladies.”

Is Stacey Dash returning for the second season of Single Ladies? If not, who would take her place to marry Jerry or Quinn?   It appears we all will simply have to wait and see. Will you watch Single Ladies without Stacey Dash/Val?

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
